America reveres its Veterans culturally. Theres no question about that. The fact that he chose to forgo a superficial display for a more humanistic approach speaks to his character.
Israel reveres their mass murderers too. Mamdani should scoop meals for the IDF.
Y’all .ml people would find a reason to get upset if Jesus himself came back and started feeding the poor. Things can be shades of grey and it’s okay for nice things to just be nice. You don’t have to be upset about everything all the time.
Just say you think mass murder of brown people is no big deal and move on.
Impressive 😂
Post a lot of laughing smileys because you know you can’t refute the facts.
What’s the deal with Tankies not supporting a socialist pivot in our politics? Have they completely given up on fixing their own house? Do they expect a complete change without all of the progress it requires to get there?
Honoring imperialism is now socialism.
Calling American vets mass murderers is just not gonna fly. Not only because of the cultural context, but also because they’re workers who had to do wage labour and therefore they’re us.
Veterans Day celebrates the veterans of the US armed forces. Which although includes those who served in WW2, they are still a minority. US armed forces are not simple workers, they work directly to enable imperialism and the current state of affairs.
They also kill a lot of innocents, not for defence, but for US interests. Which I think is not good.
Of course it’s not good. There are numerous industries employing workers that produce a lot of innocent deaths domestically and abroad. The vast majority of people working for them are forced to do so by the capitalist system. Most workers in capitalism don’t have the luxury of turning down jobs on ethical basis because often the alternative is destitution. Assigning moral blame to workers in such industries plays into the capitalist individualist myth that workers have the freedom to work any job, to refuse the jobs they don’t like. And that’s anti-materialist, and I think not a productive thing to do. I’d build solidarity and class consciousness instead since that’s the only way to stop the gears of the people-crushing machine from turning.
Class solidarity indeed
Oppressive class.
You’re a mass murderer too? Damn that sucks.
You can post WOOW and do the thing where you pretend I’m crazy all day but how about addressing the claim that Mamdani is directly honoring imperlialism here
Mamdani already canceled a week after his historic election
Canceled by whom?
OP
Lmao
Man. This is why I describe myself as a centerist. If this attitude is left then im not it.
Because you think imperialism is fine as long as you get healthcare and benefits from it?
Does it look like that’s the attitude of the left? This was posted in a community where very leftist content is posted and it’s got a score of -25. Plenty of this community content is posted by OP themselves BTW but this take of theirs isn’t well received. So not only this opinion doesn’t seem to be prevalent among us, it also doesn’t even say much about OP’s other leftist takes.
That’s fine because in reality our politics is centrist if you look at Europe. Only in America are we considered far left.
