Mainstream media on Gaza: Israelis get killed, but Palestinians merely ‘die’
After a Twitter backlash, the Guardian was forced to amend a brazenly propagandized headline which sought to undermine the basic rights of Palestinians and elevate Israeli soldiers to levels previously thought unimaginable.“We remain editorially independent, our journalism free from commercial bias and our reporting open and accessible to all,” reads an advertisement on the Guardian UK’s online newspaper when you click on a recent story.“Imagine what we could continue to achieve with the support of many more of you. Together we can be a force for change.”

DSA calls US midterm elections the “rebirth of the American socialist movement”
On November 7, the Democratic Socialists of America’s National Political Committee published a statement celebrating the US midterm elections as a victory for the “left.” The statement begins: “Yesterday democratic socialists fought and won inspiring election campaigns across the country, representing the rebirth of the American socialist movement after generations in retreat.”It continues: “While Democrats succeeded in taking back a slim majority in the House of Representatives, striking a blow to the extreme right-wing and pro-corporate agenda represented by Trump and the Republican Party, the Senate remains in the hands of Republicans.”The Democrat Cops of America presentation of the elections as a blow to the right wing and victory for socialism is in blatant conflict with reality, as is the claim that the election of a handful of Democrat Cops of America members and a few dozen Democrat Cops of America-supported candidates has significantly altered the political trajectory of the United States.

An Anarchist Uprising Against the Liberal Ego
The liberal ego poses an interesting contradiction. It insists not upon being“egotistical” in the way we think of it, of thinking “too much” of oneself, being self-centered, selfish, etc., but upon being servile, second-rate, low worth, “co-dependent” in relation to the existing power structures. The liberal, while accepting the rewards of bourgeois attainment and thus living comparatively well, in failing to challenge her ego’s supremacy, is automatically obedient to the illegitimate authority of the existing capitalist structures.

I'm so glad he's desperate. Once New Yorkers finally see this faggot go it's probably going to become a State holiday.

Of course

Happy 30 years of Palestinian independence. May your country one day be free of Israeli imperialism.

All nations are illusory social constructs and so-called national liberation movements will always be snakes filled with venom yet guised in the mask of liberty. Death to Palestine. Death to all nations. Long live Humanity

I think Mao or somebody like that made the point that Marxists should be at the helm of the national liberation movement, or should at least have a significant stake in the leadership, maybe somebody could correct me on that if false.

Again, all national liberation movements will always take the mask of whatever ideology from the "outside" will aid them best but under the hood, they are always the same: anti-human, anti-Earth, pro-fascist spookfest

Unga need protection of tribe. Other tribe different to Unga tribe. Unga need good for own tribe cause Unga born in this tribe. Unga tribe forever glory.

More like "other tribe ethnically cleansed Unga's tribe, Unga thinks this is wrong and wants justice for his tribe"

Sounds pretty bad

Fossil Fuels can’t be gotten away instantly. So the ones that need to stay around it’s better for them to be more efficient and release less CO2. Also a MASSIVE expansion of nuclear energy is necessary to solve climate change.
