It’s only been a handful of days, and the Western “left” has once again shown that the only thing they serve is NATO and Western imperialism.

On the first day of the conflict, I didn’t see a single Western “leftist” talking about anything related to the conflict. One of the spaces I check was too busy comparing doggos to give a shit that Palestine was liberating itself.

Then I saw MSM decrying that Palestinians were terrorists, and using the terms “Savages” or “living beasts”. To which I haven’t seen the Western left even shutter at. MSM is using slurs and colonialist language, and these pasty preditors couldn’t give less of a shit.

And now that I see that they’re talking about it, they’re either making “both sides bad” statements, coming into full support of Israel, or using “we’ll wait to see” arguments to excuse withholding support.

The only thing the Western left does is disrupt actual leftist movements in their home countries, while amplifying imperialist projects abroad. You’d think after years of posting pro-Palestine things on their Twitter and their Instagrams that they’d have the consistency to actually support Palestine when it mattered. But, no, they’re really just white people who wanted to feel more important than their Democratic-voting parents.

Socialism to the Western leftist isn’t the liberation of the human race, it’s a sticker to put onto their hydroflask and a $10 donation to UNICEF. It’s selling shirts with hammers and sickles on them, then hating the ideology that the symbol originated with. It’s voting for Hilary when Bernie pulled out, then demanding that anyone who didn’t vote for Biden is the same as Trump. Just a bunch of performative liberal bullshit.

update; it took them a minute, but they’ve figured it out. It’s ridiculous that it took them as long as it did to support anti-colonialism, but at least they’ve come to a consensus about it.

Since the news broke I’ve just been checking hexbear obsessively and haven’t come across a lot of the lib takes. Today I decided to check r/politics and I really cannot believe that these are actual people posting real thoughts.

this comment not having downvotes means the people downvoting probably didn’t even open the post. If they read it they used the preview.

That’s what you call bad faith engagement.
