the protests are the start of the US intervention and there is no conclusion jumping here.
the US has been using this same playbook for the last century. it only works because people chose to be willfully ignorant about it and falls apart at the slightly critical thought.
the US attack in stages and the first two stages are always manufacturing consent within the US (which includes pink washing and labeling the target regime as authoritarian) and fostering civil unrest (usually through sanctions & helping the target regime’s opposition).
these protests are the first stages of a US attack and supporting these protests is supporting the US in it’s goal to force a regime change.
i’m a queer that cares about queer people everywhere.
if you truly dont support the US, then you need to stop spreading support for an attack on iran. it’s easy to see that you did so unwittingly, but that is the impact is the same intentional or not and pink washing is a favorite tool that the US & isreal uses to manufacture support for regime change.
and don’t forget the pink washing!
it’s tougher than i thought it would be.
watching the overwhelming majority decry leftistism while simultaneously reinforcing propaganda to each other and opting for ineffective no-kings marches that were created by the same oligarchy that caused the problems that we’re dealing with right now makes be believe that climate change will be the only thing to force people to realize that the tankies were right… again.
“whataboutism” is bad faith argument to quiet dissention; try to be a better person
it proves that you only give af when this double standard is applied to our political enemies, but don’t care when it’s an ally.
there needs to be more leftist lemmy instances; i could have sworn i saw this the other day. lol
china is non-interventionist; they won’t get involved like they didn’t with gaza and venezuela.
ever heard of saudi arabia?
they too give gay people the death sentence and murder protestor and they’re allies of the united state.
that’s the most common reason i’ve heard, but experience from previous protests teaches me that americans are STRONGLY biased against leftist movement so an overwhelming majority will not get anything meaningful out of it and only the ones who are already receptive might continue down this path.
i wish i could understand what people expect going to a march that was created by the same oligarchy that they’re trying to protest against.
i wish i understood why the people who use glory holes the least, talk the most about them. lol
no hiding necessary anymore; the US & chilean election was literally given to a nazis.
my genitals are usually played in co-op mode
this is the best way to do it. lol
that’s probably how they got maduro
pink washing is used to justify it like the “omg headscarf” panel.
