I imagine lots of Zionist pants were shitted in in the last month.

Probably quite a few, but it’s more likely most people don’t bother trying to considering the process to enter the CPC is fairly strict; if I remember you have to undertake rigorous party study sessions, pass examinations and background checks, and have an existing party member be your mentor throughout the whole process. And this can take at least several years before you’re finally admitted.

According to this SCMP article around 32 000 people left the CPC in 2010, but the party official who quoted this number didn’t give a breakdown of it.

As a non-American, I couldn’t give any less of a damn what a single New York mayor will or will not do, because ultimately he doesn’t have any control over American foreign policy which does affect me and everyone I know.

I will say this though: the amount of glazing I’ve seen Americans on this site give this “socialist” reminds me a lot of when the old chapo subreddit was glazing Bernie and AOC back in the day as the new revolutionary movement. And look where that got you guys

B-b-but Communism is when buildings are all ugly generic concrete structures?!?!

P.S. This looks absolutely serene but I’m a brutalist fan through and through.

To understand his worldviews is to understand liberal idealism. He doesn’t see institutions like NATO and the EU as inherently bad for the working people, just flawed because of a few corrupt conservatives. He doesn’t see the US government working as an imperialist blob that led to its current state and foreign policy, just a few far-right Republicans and billionaires lacking decorum and doing uncivil things (and all being controlled by Putin because Russia is behind everything bad according to him), that will be corrected after 2-4 years because Democrats are so wholesome and based.

And like a liberal he’s also very contradictory and very much “vibes-based” with his beliefs. He understands what the Gulf and Afghan Wars were about and it’s consequences but doesn’t see the resemblance to the Russia-Ukraine War (he has the standard “Putler is a fascist megalomaniac and wants to take over Europe for no reason” liberal position, and thinks every Russian should be removed). Hell, it took a bit of convincing just to get him to realize what Israel is and why October 7th was an act of resistance against a violent colonizer, very likely because Biden was overseeing the initial genocide.

And I don’t doubt for a second if a Democrat/ liberal were trying to invade Iran my friend would throw all facts and logic out the windows and be 100% behind it.

Mr Khamenei, tear down this NPT!

Gonna save this for my lib friend who keeps arguing that Europe/ the West wouldn’t join the US in a war with Iran.

If the UK (piss be upon them) had a revolution back in the 70’s, this is how I’d imagine King Charles would be acting in exile.

In that case, it would be won WWII but lost the Cold War.

This reminds me sooo much of when Western media was interviewing Hong Kong Chinese “protesters” fleeing to Western countries in 2019. Same rhyme, different song.

The symbolic gesture of condemnation against the symbolic strike in retaliation to the symbolic strike.

Now we wait for the US to do their symbolic retaliation to Iran’s symbolic retaliation, while still giving Iran (and Yemen) the green light to bomb Tel-Aviv.

The Do Nothing strategy and its consequences has been will be disastrous for the Human Race.

Considering it portrays Xerxes as a fabulous playboy model that looked like he came out of a Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure manga, I would absolutely bow down to the King of Kings lol.

I also found it funny how ‘300’ portrays the Persians as menacing, savage brown people, while another western film like say, ‘Prince of Persia’, casts a white guy as the main character when the Persians are now the protagonists. It’s literally reflected in fictional media lol.

To quote a certain Zach Snyder slop film: “Our arrows will blot out the sun”

lol reminds me of a game I played on Helldivers 2 recently where a guy named “Azov fan boy” joined. Predictably, they started being toxic by teamkilling me and I insta kicked and put on my ban list.

This is like China’s version of “sending a strongly worded letter” that we always make fun of civility libs for. Stop being a lib Xi.

They’ll feel sad about it after, but only for the US soldiers that died in said war.

“And the PSL rebellion has been foiled. The remaining PSLists will be hunted down and defeated!” - Supreme Chancellor Trump, probably 2026

Don’t know where else to talk about this so forgive me for this not bring news, but I was watching Hasan’s latest vid about the ongoing escalation between Iran and the US/ Israel and many of the comments were criticizing people in there defending Iran’s right to national sovereignty and self-defence by saying stuff like “but Iran is aUtOritaRiaN unlike the free and democratic US!” and “but Iran doesn’t have gay rights and oppresses women!”.

It’s the usual liberal moralistic platitudes that get thrown around whenever consent is being manufactured for war against a US designated enemy in the Global South, but the fact that so many supposed progressives are still trying to justify the imperialization of Iran WHILE they are actively protesting against repression and the destruction of civil rights in the US of A just astounds me.

Just goes to show how deep the neoliberal brain worms still run in westerners, and it also revealed to me how many of Hasan’s own fanbase are still very much liberals.
