I've always enjoyed the dialectic of people condescending to MENA and South Asian diaspora voters in the West that if they want to see change they need to engage in the process and then as we do so they throw a fit and say that we're undermining the West

Reagan had Alzheimer’s. Maybe Biden can also quip that he won’t exploit for political purposes Trump’s youth and inexperience. I don’t think it will work for him like it did for Reagan.

Labour under Starmer actually got less votes than they got under Corbyn in 2019 and 2017 and barely more than under Milliband in 2015.

"Terrorists don't have rights." "Criminals have no rights." "Immigrants have no rights." Everybody has rights, or they're not rights. Privileges granted on the sufferance of the state aren't rights. They aren't protection, they're a threat to ensure compliance.

This could indeed be a game changer but please bear in mind that Macron’s centre is no centre but a racist and islamophobic right. They spend the whole campaign claiming the left is as dangerous as the far right RN, which was founded by former members of the Waffen SS and the terrorist OAS.

They just repeat the same lie over and over again until everyone believes it. They have adopted Goebbels’ big lie: plus c’est gros, plus ça passe. A teenage girl was raped by teenage boys? All the fault of Mélenchon’s antisemitism ! Such absurd arguments are mainstream in France. (2/2)

Without any proof whatsoever. In France any critique of the prevailing islamophobic consensus is immediately treated as complicity with terrorism and antisemitism. Even the term ‘Islamophobia’ is taboo. Even the staunchly secular Mélenchon is now smeared that way. (1/2)

“There is only one explanation for why the US has sent so many of this vastly destructive weapon for use in a densely packed urban area: The Biden administration is consciously and deliberately seeking the complete destruction of #Gaza and the massacre of as many Palestinians as possible.”

That last one is a smear. They are smearing Mélenchon like they smeared Corbyn. His only crime is that he considers Palestinians as human beings. That’s not antisemitic.

Make no mistake, they're is still taking inspiration directly from the colonization/genocide of Turtle Island. Why do you think the IOF are doing things like intentionally killing, even sniping animals? "Kill every buffalo you can! Every buffalo dead is an Indian gone."

That’s the Perversity argument : en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Rhe... But it’s a fallacy to invalidate an argument simply because it takes the form of futility, jeopardy or perversity. Sometimes a proposal is indeed ineffective, too costly or even counterproductive.

Israel blames the UN for failing to distribute aid after months of bombing UN facilities, killing <200 UN aid workers, leading the West to cut UNRWA funding based on false allegations, occupying Crossings, burning the Rafah Crossing, cutting off all supplies to Gaza and blocking aid. I could go on.

Afterwards they conquered Central & Eastern Europe and killed 27 million people in the Soviet Union. Of course they ultimately lost because of poor decisions & the fact that no power could have taken on the combined armies of the UK, the US and the Soviet Union. That doesn’t mean they were weak.

In fact even if they die they are at fault for giving settler colonialism a bad name. Like in the famous quote of freak Golda Meir who complained that Palestinians “forced” her to kill their children.

White people didn’t atone for slavery. White people didn’t atone for colonialism. White people didn’t atone for white supremacy. And when they decided to "atone" for antisemitism, the ONLY way they chose to do it, was by setting up and supporting a genocidal white settler colonial ethno state.

I beg to differ. The economy grew by 10% annually from 1936 to 1939 and after that, Nazi Germany destroyed the combined armies of Poland, France, the UK, Belgium, the Netherlands, Denmark and Norway. Only the British could escape after the battle of Dunkirk, but without their heavy weapons.

The fact that Israeli law prohibits citizenship to refugees from the 1948 Nakba clearly shows how critical the expulsion of Palestinians was to the Zionists. They acknowledged that there was no way for them to establish numerical superiority without the permanent "transfer" of Palestinians.

Israel commander in Gaza calls for collective punishment (a war crime.)
His reason? He says: "After a month of exciting and amazing fighting, we have destroyed more real estate than enemies," admitting Israel's military failure.

False! Because Elon Musk has lots of money does not mean the median American does. Many Americans have more debt than assets, something which is unthinkable in Europe. Even Kevin Spacey is near bankruptcy.
