Trump had said last month that the nuclear-armed South Asian neighbours agreed to the ceasefire after talks mediated by the US, and that the hostilities ended after he urged the countries to focus on trade instead of war.

I love Trump's brain

: And then i told them, dont do war, focus on trade. And then they said wow, youre so right

Had a liberal tell me that I am "purity testing" Bernie Sanders for not calling whats going on in Israel a genocide. I really feel there's no point talking to these people unless its in person or you have a relationship with them

Id imagine alot of people who are communists in the west started as reactionaries. Probably not as extreme of examples as you are asking for

But did any congress person face consequences for voting for the Iraq war? Our system has no accountability. They would vote for war in Iran then years later when its viewed as a huge blunder theyll just ignore it

Chuck Schumer: This is an abuse of power. We demand answers from the president!

: because I can

Schumer: ah, very well then

I agree with you, but I also wonder how Iran's economy is impacted? Isnt it also shutdown?

I think if you view the protests as the end goal, then yea they are pointless. Libs are mad and need a way to let out that frustration and the protests are the most effective way to absorb it. It doesnt require them to get too far out of their comfort zone or face the systemic question of how we got to this point in the first place.

As leftists i think we can view these protests as a sort of "career fair" for trying to organize people. We need to go to where the people are at and i feel like a liberal at a protest is on the path to being radicalized and forming a revolutionary consciousness, but there still needs to be some sort of nudge to get there. The nudge will have to be from another human being because social relations do dominate people's conscious.

Theres also a sense of solidarity that builds up when you are among others who are also sharing in the disatisfaction.

I really believed they were infected by liberal brainworms. they are not

I really do see the general opinion of Israel shifting. I was telling a coworker, who I consider apolitical, about the Iran strikes and he put up a fist.

Kinda feels like decades of anti-imperialist struggle is going to be all for naught because of feckless liberals

But lets wait and see what Iran does. Im not holding my breath though.

In bad country, cars have more rights than people

Chairman Mao, even in your death, your legacy rages on. Thank you for guiding me away from the darkness of the West to the light that is the CPC. We truly have nothing to lose but our chains.
