you're meant to say "we're bringing you peace and democracy" and then steal all the oil. where this deviates from the norm is that they're starting out by admitting they just want to steal all the oil

There are activists and community members who are currently putting their bodies and freedom on the line (many of whom are themselves undocumented), helping their community directly by slowing down the kidnapping vans.

They're not taking time off right now to go wave signs in front of an embassy.

it’s also not surprising that massive amounts of people showing up to rally isn’t leading to any sort of change because there’s no theory of change behind those rallies other than “if a lot of people show up it’ll show that a lot of people care about this” and that’s… kind of nothing?

the whole “biden’s red line” stuff was when it became abundantly clear to *all* in power that they could just ignore appeals to empathy and no one would be able to do anything to stop it. the most that could be done was protest voting in the primaries, and even then they remained committed.

Fucking sociopathic to say the system worked well for 200 years when half of that includes chattel slavery and the genocide of the native population

You are turning to people for whom it is fashionable to have blood of their hands.

Now is the time to struggle against imperialist attitudes. The need for a strong anti imperialist left has never been more apparent.

Your job is to speak louder than the people preaching unity with people who only oppose the invasion because it didnt follow the proper procedures.
