            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.
