    I can kinda go along with that, they are a resistance organization and extremely shitty people at the same time. If they’d be fighting a different enemy, western media would probably not call them a terrorist organization, but anyway. The comment was more to counter the warmongering pro-Zionism top-level comment.

    Depends on how you measure efficiency. It’s very efficient to put people in a gas chamber if your success metric is amount of people killed.

    For Israelis it seems that the success metric is a combination of amount of people killed and amount of suffering caused in the process. Unfortunately they’re doing a very good job at killing people while making the life of those not killed yet a living hell.

    But as someone else said, genocide is genocide.

    I tried giving you the benefit of the doubt but you’re making no sense if you believe that China isn’t an imperialist empire itself. It’s also an ethno-state where Han Chinese are over everyone else and minorities need to assimilate or get rekt. And do I really need to mention that it’s a fucking dictatorship?

    They are against the US but that doesn’t make them the good guys. Same ridiculous shit that the West tried to do with people like Navalny, they tried portraying him as hero because he was against Putin when in reality he was another right wing nationalist fuck.

    If you really believe one Imperialist is better than the other just because they’re not the US then you’re taking a shortcut, because the logical conclusion has to be to reject the notion of imperialism itself, instead of just Western imperialism.

    Yeah you’re absolutely right and I actually never meant to say that Biden gives any shit about Palestinians, I just formulated this in a stupid way. Maybe this is a better formulation:

    He’s mostly likely going to be even worse than Biden. But while he also won’t give a shit about Palestinians, any random shit could happen that makes him do a u-turn. I don’t think it’s likely but it’s the only good thing I could see coming out of this.

    Being from a country that is essentially a dictatorship and where rivaling factions have been competing over who gets to govern and who are the good / bad guys depending on whether they’re backed by Russia or the US I came to realize they’re all full of shit.

    Whether it’s the USA, UK, Germany, France, Russia, China, Iran, they’re all led by psychopaths who instrumentalize suffering for their own political gain.

    I don’t know where you’re getting that bit about Arabs from because in Xinjiang they’re Uyghurs, not Arabs. And just because China poses a much needed counterweight to Western imperialism I won’t ignore that they’re the same murderous psychopaths just with a different agenda.

    To me, any kind of nationalism is a cancer and if you ask me, the concept of nations and borders should be abolished, because I haven’t ever seen a functioning nation that is actually for the people instead of a ruling class.
