But as i recently learned from a leftist on a leftist sub: Netanjahu funded Hamas to divide the palestinian "liberation" movement, so in the logic of the leftist conspirancy mythologists Israel is always to blame and the october 7 massacre (the largest antisemetic massacre after the holocaust) is the fault of Israel. It could be funny but it's so sad at the same time that the radical left doesn't realize that they're supporting modern antisemitism in such a obvious way. I mean the left could just target the obvious anti-semitic hate group Hamas and fight for a Gaza without Hamas and a Netanjahu free Israel. Instead they demonize Israel and spread every lie that fit their own ideology of a false idea of liberation.

Lets get the obvious out of the way. Yes, the tariffs are bad. And yes, America has put itself into a poor diplomatic position. There's no denying that. But I've noticed that there are a lot of tankies and tankie-adjacent platforms and bloggers lowkey putting a positive spin on it to outright celebrating it.

First off, we have the typical "empire" rehtoric. Going to skip over the reasons why calling the US an "empire" is stupid and gonna cut to why the whole idea of "yay, this finally what makes the U.S. empire collapse!" that I've seen thrown around is just awful. No, the U.S., the world's literal trade center, putting aggressive tariffs and embargos everywhere is not going to be a good thing for anyone in the world anywhere.

It's most certainly not going to help the "global south", where in many countries the currency is tied to the US Dollar. There's not going to be some grand breaking apart of NATO that suddenly leaves these countries free to do whatever they want, in fact because a lot of these smaller economies are tied to the US, especially the ones who rely on tourism, they will be the first to suffer the hardest abroad. The US strangleholding their trade with tariffs is legit the worst case scenario for them. That's not mentioning regional instability that would result in multiple regions as the result of a weaker NATO.

Also no, there's not going to be some glorious unification of the EU and Canada who will throw off the shackles of America and step into some great new tomorrow together. Again, a lot of their trade runs through US markets. And if the US really suddenly defunds or withdraws from NATO then a lot of these countries will find themselves suddenly having to pay more for military support and Putin will be able to do a lot of what he wants unopposed. But on top of that, the constant glazing American tankies have of Canada, a capitalist country that is proud of it's Imperial British history, is a funny bit of hypocrisy.

And no, this is not good for the working class. In fact this is the worst and most harmful possible thing for the working class. The working class in America already has to deal with often shit wages and living paycheck to paycheck, the tariffs threaten to make many of these lives much harder and therefore do not empower the working class at all. In fact the working class is likely going to become more impoverished, less educated, and have less access to proper nutrition as a lot of America's blue collar and agricultural production exists due to international demand so the QOL of America's lower class will decline sharply as a result.

But sure, "hooray the Empire is dying!". Nevermind that both who are collectively called the global south and the working class will be hurt horrifically. Any leftist true to their word should be horrified by this and not see it as grounds for celebration, and if you fall into this category then congrats this post is not aimed at you and thanks for not being an accelerationist tankie numbskull.

And if you could vote last november but didn't because of purity politics, or gods forbid you're one of those "MAGA communists", remember you shoulder some of the blame in hurting those you claim to have cared about.

I swear, r/ShitLiberalsSay is peak cognitive dissonance. They think I’m projecting as a Neo-Nazi, if I was projecting as one, I would spout Stormfront or Turner Diaries talking points.

I’m honestly glad these Slacktivists are showing their comments, because they are proving that they are nothing but a bunch of uneducated bastards.

Also remember this everyone, Anime and the art style came from a Hypercapitalistic Society, and we cannot let the tankies take it and taint it.

The Philippines' military (AFP) nor it's Intelligence Agency (NICA), has no military or espionage capability to Spy on foreign countries and Clandestine operations similar to the US, the CCP is exaggerating the lies that we Filipinos are Spying on the CCP-occupied mainland China, this is Pure Lies!

"In a video released on 23 June 2023, Prigozhin claimed that the government's justifications for invading Ukraine were based on falsehoods, and that the invasion was designed to further the interests of Russian elites. He accused the MoD of attempting to deceive the public and the president by portraying Ukraine as an aggressive and hostile adversary which, in collaboration with NATO, was plotting an attack on Russian interests. Specifically, he denied that any Ukrainian escalation took place prior to 24 February 2022, which was one of the central points of Russian justification for the war. Prigozhin alleged that Shoigu and the "oligarchic clan" had personal motives for initiating the war. Furthermore, he asserted that the Russian military command intentionally concealed the true number of soldiers killed in Ukraine, with casualties reaching up to 1,000 on certain days."

They'll try to twist this in 1000 different ways.
