Anyway, hey look, Israel gives weapons to neo-Nazis - the same neo-Nazi's @"ssu" likes to pretend don't exist: https://electronicintifada.net/content/...

These are certainly a grammatical string of words. It would be good if they had any meaning whatsoever.

I have no idea what you're referring to here. Probably because you like to make shit up, on the off chance you're not spouting casually racist canards...

Yes yes, you, like every other liberal shill pays lip service to things when it suits you.

Yeah that must be it. Just novelty. Nothing to do with the fact that people like you simply parrot US talking points as and when they come out.

They were not 'clashes with police'. They were dehumanizing raids conducted by a violent, punishing state, for no other reason than repression and hum...

A quick citation because it is almost certain that all those who like to blab about CRT have never read a word of it in their life save from what they...

Funny that all those who shed tears over Ukraine have nothing to say about Israel beating up people in their places of worship on holy days. Just radi...

Which CRT paper or book - or maybe more than one - did you read for you to come to this conclusion? Just curious.

Thanks bae

It is absolutely legitimate to heap focus on the most destructive and powerful imperial agent on the face of the Earth, especially as a bulwark agains...

I don't think it needs to be explained in terms of brain function. But I do think it needs to be explained in some terms other than tautology.

This I can agree with. Unfortuntely, without any recognition of the role that the West has played in bringing this disaster about - and subsequently a...

'Giving up' does not constitute a position but a lack of one. Hence it being a matter of laziness and psychology through and through.

I don't see them as distinguishable, in the case of panpsychcism.

Yes it's very passe and not so a la mode, just a bit out of fashion, to recognize that NATO has blood on their hands. All the cool kids are over it.

The propaganda peddled and eaten up wholesale by the West and people in the West against China is utterly insane. And I say this as someone with a dee...

Anyone who whines about Chinese influence but has nothing to say about the 100+ US military bases around the planet can STFU and be shot into the sun.

I was going to laugh at the fact that the US gave $800 million dollars in weapons away to Ukraine despite being a third world country that "can't affo...

Imperialism in the 21st Cent, if only because Value Chains builds off it.

Macron not warmongering hard enough for the warmongers.
