You're right. But I feel like the right wing really doesn't want to do that. People with cushy jobs have grandfathers who committed war crimes.

Marx's quote is a general comment on wage labourers. He doesn't mention the US in that sentence. Sakai is referring specifically to settlers leaving Britain to colonise the US.

I think we all forget the Rohingya genocide because AFAIK the West isn't currently responsible

I'm trying to explain why most people on this site don't follow the Rohingya situation, not debate it's causes. Christ this is so damn tedious.

I think we all forget the Rohingya genocide because AFAIK the West isn't currently responsible. The country is in a civil war right now. Even ethnic Burmese are fleeing the country as they don't want to be conscripted. I don't you why you're arguing with me about the previous government as I never defended them.

I think we all ignore Myanmar because it has little to do with the West. That's absolutely fine. But I stand by my claim that it's sus to defend the Myanmar military who are doing a genocide(s).

The military are hardly better/worse than the liberal government of Aung San Suu Kyi, sure. That said, going to war against your minority people is never cool.

I'm not getting in this debate. I already said that I take Russia's side in the conflict. To look at all of Russia's military adventures since 1991, the hard line they're taking against actual communist peace activists, all of the monopoly capitalism that's taking place, and whinge when a fellow Marxist makes a nuanced "mini imperialist" comment. If people want to look at this, ignore all my posting history, and assume that I'm anti Russia and pro US, then I'm not wasting time on you.

It is sus. Not hard right reactionary, not listening to him because he's a chud, but sus. AFAIK the former president of Bangladesh wasn't a leftist, and there were genuine gripes.

I just looked up a situation a know a bit more about (Myanmar), and found him defending the military junta doing genocide against quite a few minority groups there.

I take Russia's side in the war. But they're still a capitalist mini imperialist state.

The author has a Russian flag over his photo. This seems a bit sus, even tho I know nothing about Bangladesh.

Edit: I looked at his article history. He treats the Myanmar military better than they deserve.

I often listen to TNG or DS9 or VOY as I know many of us do to fall asleep

Fuck, I'm not the only on who does this?!?!?

I fucking HATE it when my boss asks me what my future plans are. They're to get paid, survive, and wait till the coming apocalypse.

Feeding and housing people ARE SO MUCH less expensive than policing homeless. Even if one has zero empathy for the poor, the economic arguments make better sense.
