        The cult like fixation for US imperialist politicians have on defending Israel is, in my opinion, the most significant factor as to why reactionary narratives regarding Israel’s role as some puppet master are so easily fueled.

        Like, I really can’t blame the average politically miseducated American for coming to those conclusions. Just another hurdle of propaganda we need to dismantle.

          Its kinda impressive how the ruling class can take something like opposition to genocide and twist it so that instead of class consciousness people fall into reactionary nationalism.

          I try to do that sort of move to get people to class awareness instead of reaction but I am doing it one by one and it almost never works. The imperial machine can do it with like 90% success on a mass scale and you barely even see the move until its over.

          When people finally have distance from this whole period of history, it’s going to be difficult explaining to later generations just how sophisticated the psyops of Zionism and American fascism were. From popular media, to weaponization of the Holocaust, to the right latching onto antisemitic conspiracy theories in order to alienate people from the left, etc.

          No doubt. But they’re picking on me for generalizing. I think it’s a valid tool of discourse. Just a lil bit of irony and hyperbole, people. I’m living under the Evil Empire’s hammer, but those don’t escape me yet. In collectivism-geared societies, people talk like this. The US needs a Cultural Revolution ASAP.

        I guess fuck everyone that’s on this site from the US then? Just because all the official parties are co-opted and neutered doesn’t mean there aren’t communists here.
