    Read Settlers. Your dream will never come to fruition. The scattered remains of American civilization will need to be scooped up by a Communist state like China or North Korea and led to their salvation even as they fight against it every step of the way.

      Read Fanon. If French settlers can betray France and smuggle guns to Algerian patriots in the anti-colonial struggle, so can yankees.

        the only fanon the kkkrackers will ever care about is the headcanons they make for their latest franchise slop. they are spiritually devoid and incapable of embodying revolutionary potential.

          At the same time, anti-ICE protesters are being gunned down and given decades-long prison sentences. Some spirit seems to have motivated them.

          I think we need to identify these wedges within the settler cohort and use them to divide them against each other and against the settler-colony. We can create more traitors, even if they won’t read.

                  You’re trying to project the moralistic bullshit on your side when you’re the one making ridiculous arguments about how “spiritually devoid” people need punishment for cosmic scales to be balanced. Yeah, there are some people who have been so traumatized by imperialism that they would sign onto that shit, but don’t use the third world as a rhetorical shield for your genocidal misanthropy.

                    It’s always these fucking parodies of Maoists who act like the wokest, most Marxist thing is for first worlders to either do nothing or just burn everything down and kill everyone rather than ever build something that isn’t a bomb. It’s just school-shooter-level antisociality masquerading as a self-righteous political ideology.

                  Do you actually know people from the Global South (diasporan populations living in the imperial core don’t count) or are you just a cracker who has never set foot outside the imperial core?

                No sarcasm. I’m quoting Mao to highlight the absurdity of bringing up how fun someone is at parties in a conversation like this.

              “Read Settlers” isn’t a fucking argument, and neither is repeating conclusions as dogma. You have no leg to stand on, just some convictions that even if they are correct, would only be correct by coincidence because you refuse to engage with the actual argument.

              I didn’t detect any argument from you either, just a bunch of baseless claims about how Americans are apparently spiritually incapable of revolution. If you’re not presenting an argument, why would I bother debunking it?

                  Recommending a book is not presenting an argument. It’s just admitting you can’t make a point on its own merits. You’re bad at this.
