On June 29, 2023, a briefing on arms supplies to Ukraine was held at the UN Security Council at Russia’s initiative. The civil society briefers Russia invited included journalists Max Blumenthal (USA) and Chay Bowes (Ireland).

They provided facts about the Kiev regime using Western weapons to deliver strikes at civilian facilities in Donetsk and to send subversive groups into the Belgorod Region. They supplied evidence that billions of US taxpayer dollars have been invested in the corrupt schemes of fuelling a war against Russia in which Ukrainians are being used as a tool. They concluded that the Western elites and defence industries were the only ones to benefit from the escalation of the conflict.

Oh no, not journalists providing information at a public briefing! Don’t they know it’s time to do baby’s first McCarthyism!?

Unfortunately you have a censor-happy mod that doesn’t like the basic history here being described but if you’d like to discuss that history I’d be happy to continue on another instance.

GOP gives their base red meat. This is because it is compatible with their donors’ interests. This contrasts to Dems, for whom delivering for their base runs counter to their donors’ interests.

What is deliverrd by the GOP is marginalization, of course, but this is still a more direct and materiap response than what the Dems do, which is just PR.

?

There’s nothing wrong with insulting intelligence.

I was pointing out how it’s funny to make basic grammatical errors while doing so.

Tankies are fucking idiots.

Excellent contribution to the discourse.

It did not contain any misinformation, just basic facts about what was happening in Ukraine in 2014 - Euromaidan, separatist movements, far right consolidation, etc. Things reported on constantly by mainstream Western press for 8 years. There is at least one overzealous mod that is removing my comments, comments that contain no misinformation, and with no requests for clarification or any actual challenge to what I said.

Feel free to ask me this question on a less censorious instance.

Fall for what? Correction on a meme and pointing to basic political history in Ukraine?

Seems right to me

Sorry, what exactly is the lesson to be learned from this election, in which the candidate who more vocally supports the genocide won?

If it must be fully spelled out, it is that you cannot rope people whose politics is premised on empathy into supporting genocide and you will lose unless you demand better. If you want to fight against the forces of reaction, you cannot triangulate towards them, you have to actually have a semi-principled political program, not one premised on tokenization and “vote for us or the other guy will kill you even more”.

Every fucking thing she said was scrutinized […]

You are saying this in response to people saying they wouldn’t tolerate genocide.

That’s cool, you got what you want now and Gaza is becoming Israel new beach front.

There have been no policy changes. This is your ghouls running the show, 13 months of unconditional support for genocide. If any part of “the electorate” owns this, it is yours. You did not step up and say, “no more, that is too far”.

Though of course the party does not care about you and they are thr ones making these policy decisions with donor input.

I hope you meet a Palestinian that got family killed someday and tell them that you didn’t support a genocide supporter.

I already know many Palestinians that have lost family. I organize with some of them, their views are my views on this. You clearly aren’t embedded in this community because you assume everyone else is just as detached.

That’ll make them feel funny inside.

Palestinians are not your rhetorical toy to play with when you run out of ways to handle your cognitive dissonance for having sold your soul to support someone that lost anyways. Please take some time to do self-criticism now that you have objective proof that you were not being strategic or smart about this, as you clearly gave up on being morally correct.

So let me get this straight… Your position is that instead of being a pawn of the Democrats who are at least pushing back against Israel

That is not what is happening. It is the exact opposite: Democratic politicians presided over and supported this genocide with near-unanimous agreemeny with one another. Israel, again, receives unconditional material and diplomatic support from the Biden-Harris regime.

I think I was clear on this, so you are really juat revealing your own lack of familiarity.

I should instead be a pawn of the Republicans

Am I telling you to use Republicans’ thought-terminating clichés? Am I telling you to vote for Republicans as if they are a lesser evil?

Maybe you should ask me more about what I am saying because you are taking serious liberties.

Israel knows if they just cut loose, they would face repercussions from the rest of the world,

Israel already cut loose. They are ethnically cleansing Gaza, reinvading and bombing parts of the West Bank, invadjng and bombing entire neighborhoods in Lebanon, and trying to pick a fight with Iran. The “rest of the world” is nearly unanimously against Israel on paper, with the process held up by the US and some of its lapdogs, though of course Europe also wants in on the imperialist action.

You are already seeing what the rest of the world can do when Israel cuts loose. It is shamefully little, but we should also take inspiration from those who do stand up. From the Palestinian resistance. From allied grouos in Syria and Iraq. From Iran. From Hezbollah. From Yemen. And from South Africa for doing nearly all of the work re: the ICJ.

The US is the dominant superpower and it supports Israel to the hilt. Work to undermine it so that the scakes can be tipped.

What do you think will happen to Palestine as a country

Palestine is not internationally recognized as a country. Palestine is an invaded and occupied regikn, with its people facing settler colonial genocide by ethnic supremacists.

if Trump succeeds in removing all the guardrails

What guardrails? Again, Isrsel has unconditional material support from the US. They recently murdered an American in thr West Bank and the US is giving is the “investigation pending” slow walk. None of “the rules”, even the unwritten American exceptionalist ones, apply.

and gets to fulfill his wet dream of being a dictator?

lol that’s not going to happen. I will bet you any amount of money.

Oh my, my type? Goodness, you know, I didn’t see your type either now that I think about it! When I went to protests and meetings in my community

Speaking about this as if they are over and not something ongoing says a lot. I’m leaning towards this just being a lie.

, I’m afraid I didn’t see you there, I only saw people who we trying to actually help people, you know, the ones that knew they were between and rock and a hard place, but actually tried to not hand the government over to a blood thirsty racist, while making sure the community was informed in what steps to take should he win and are now continuing to rally and make their voices heard instead of “not VoTiNg fOr GeNoCiDe” which, you know, kind of got us here.

I have never seen a pro-Palestinian protest with that message. That just sounds like you projecting your armchair liberal takes onto other people.

The people who organize pro-Palestinian protests are socialists and allied Palestinian groups, occasionally JVP. And while JVP is milquetoast and weak, even they aren’t that mealy-mouthed.

But perhaps it’s scary to stand for a belief off of the internet, but I’m unfamiliar with the feeling because my mom didn’t raise a removed.

I wonder what slur you used while calling yourseld a good person.

Don’t worry, we’ll handle it, sport. You just stay safe inside, okay? ♥️

It id also telling that this is the only part of my comment that you replied to.

Yes, liberals have been scratched and, as I predicted, they have split into two minds:

1. Disbelief and resignation, a depression that can sometimes be broken through with reminders that they shouldn’t have supported genocide.
2. “We’ve gotta get a whole lot more racist”

No? Why are you making things up?

Why yes, I do. That’s why I asked in a sassy way.
