Someone’s being all spiritual and transcendent on a thread about Kwame Ture’s quote on liberalism.
Slaves fighting for their freedom shouldn’t use violence because they’re just going to become slavers themselves (THIS IS ACTUALLY WHAT THEY THINK)
What were those people before being enslaved,
What do you think they are implying here?
I wonder what this person thinks about Ukraine. I’ll never forget the time a lib told me, "I’m a staunch pacifist but I’m also 100% behind helping Ukraine." 99% of the time, “pacifists” are just libs congratulating themselves on opposing all violence except the violence they support.
Every single person who says stuff like this really thinks that violence is okay as long as it is done by the “whiter” party. As soon as it is a minority fighting back agains oppression and imperialism they suddenly only support non-violence. I was really triggered by this book I read where the social fascist author first explains why he thinks Ukraine is waging a just war per Hegels definition, then 200 pages casually saying something along the lines of how violent decolonial movements like the FLN should have been more like Nelson Mandela and Gandhi because he thinks non-violence “works better”. I mean, it does work better for him, who gets to keep benefiting from exploiting them …
One of my favorites of Eli Valley:
Libs be like:
Draft: 😡
In Ukraine: 😍
Kidnapping and torturing people before using them as cannon fodder: 😴 ( 😍 )
Lmfao, libs really don’t know that words have specific meanings.
banned from community. you should be reassured
I got permabanned from that comm because I asked jordanlund, a mod, for sources on the “Uighur Genocide” and then I said, “Before I go through these, if I ctrl+f ‘Zenz’ how many hits am I gonna get?” and that’s when he banned me.
That’s definitely the ban I’m proudest of.
18, if you’re wondering.
which 18 so i can block them
I mean, when I did ctrl+f ‘Zenz’ I got 18 hits.
ah.
also “condense 100 years of pascifist philosophy” i honestly can count my blessings that i haven’t seen more pathetic grasps on human history though i’m sure they exist. i imagine if he comes out of his stupor of main character syndrome and american-pop-culture-references-as-a-language he’d break down when he realizes he will never be released from the agony of real life by a commercial break, and try to dorothy-her-shoes-of-ruby to the phrase “this video was sponsored by nord vpn”
