Yeah, i dont give a shit if you've conjured up some justification for it. "I'm yelling at the nazis there" "I'm expanding the reach of my good ideas" You're dancing for 'em and they're getting paid for it.
Diversity of tactics means just that. Diversity of tactics. If there is no room for dancing frogs in your revolution, it leads nowhere worth being. If there are no armed people willing to protect those dancing frogs with violence, they will be crushed by the violent.
This is established world history. Your personal "reality" only extends to the tip of your nose. Try to gain some perspective before flailing around like this.
You are blind to the fact that everything they have is a direct result of US dollars flooding them since the Nakba, Funding is control. Without this control their genocidal settler project would have died in the 1940s, and the world would be all the better for it.
You are missing the forest for the trees. The US pumps billions of dollars every year into their regime, and has for decades. This allowed the regime to create the military force needed for this genocide. Yes, they would have reacted, but without US dollars they would have had machetes, as you said.
So you admit that withholding the means for this genocide would have controlled the manner in which they were able to go about it. Control comes in many forms, and leads to different outcomes.
What would have happened if biden didn't provide endless bombs and money to the genocide? Do you feel that withholding the means would not have controlled the outcome?
Christopher Columbus was dragged back to Spain in chains by a crusading knight, convicted of tyranny and immeasurable cruelty, pardoned by Isabella but banned from returning to Hispaniola.
My publisher’s been very patient. I’m not doing everything I said I’d do to promote this book (out in a few weeks) because I’m an organizer in a city under federal attack. My days are full and emotionally exhausting. Any help getting the word out means a lot. It's a book people need right now.
During a military-style raid on a building in Chicago’s South Shore, one resident heard a knock on his door. It wasn’t the feds — it was a mom and her 7-year-old daughter, pleading for help.
What radicalized me? Cops murdering a friend of mine with tasers. They took turns on him, went through every battery they had. First time I ever saw a person killed. "Excited Delirium, his heart just did that. No fault."
Whilst we're on the subject of shocking living things, did you know police departments routinely shock human beings with tasers until they die and chalk up their deaths to a fake medical condition they call "excited delirium" that was invented by taser companies to absolve themselves of liability?
