i wish no harm to american ruling class, my enemy is the american people

op admits it was a joke originally, but says after witnessing the contempt of the american people for gaza, is sad to say his joke was correct (unless i’m misreading this)

the user posting_forever writes “yeah well welcome to what happens when your country bombs and threatens half of the earth. feels pretty shitty, huh?”

barbarism critic continues their thread “If you have posted this as a joke that’s one thing, but there’s wayyyy too much of this sentiment expressed sincerely on here and as a signifier of being the “most radical”. It is not! It is poorly disguised misanthropy and nihilism!”

one person say that barbarism critic is “the brianna wu of 2025. Remember kids I called it”

i guess there is some very real perceived material interests of americans to continue the genocide in palestine, like the christian zionists, or the liberals who want to continue the american dominance via global hegemony, and the labor aristocrats in america who want the treats.

i was listening to rev left radio “The Long Transition Towards Socialism and the End of Capitalism” with Torkil Lauesen and, probably gonna butcher it - but my understanding is that as we enter a multipolar world, the americans will not be able to blatantly exploit the over-exploited nations (global south) leading to increasingly deteriorating conditions in the imperial core, which will set the grounds very clearly between socialism and barbarism?

and we are to organize and help alleviate the woes of the people which also serve as a way of building relations that lead to building power via organizations.

(iirc the bolsheviks has above ground orgs and underground orgs for the law breaking stuff)

eh i dunno just over analyzing what do you peeps think.

    I don’t know enough about the intricacies of Indian politics to be able to discuss it specifically. However, my position is that any people who blindly accept their political environment, prop up and defend the systems of oppression without critical thought, for their own benefit (even if that benefit is small), should not be surprised when the victims of that oppression and their sympathisers see them as the problem. If the oppressed groups of India feel contempt towards the benefitting majority’s lack of action, my sympathy is with the oppressed, not the masses.

    To me, it’s clear as day that the people who do not question their political environment usually do so because they benefit from it in some way. And they end up becoming the shields of that environment. When they decide to be a shield for genocide, imperialism, hegemony, they become part of that political environment. It doesn’t matter whether it’s intrinsic or they do it because they don’t know what else to do, they become indistinguishable from the enemy.
