Might be a bit libby, but I am not normally a fan of vigilanteism. This might be an exception though, given the fact that this was going nowhere before through the legally permissible avenues.

Right sorry, must’ve misclicked

An ad hominem would be to dismiss an argument by attacking the person or circumstances. You know, like calling someone a Russian bot.

Secondly, I think you missed the point of the image. You claim to believe America is bad, but simultaneosly adopt it’s views on geopolitical rivals uncritically. Yes, including the view that anything that portrays the west in a negative light being “Russian propaganda”. Funnily enough, that’s the real ad hominem and is something incredibly common to hear coming out of liberals.

Edit: this was actually aimed at potustheplant, not Mayali. Clicked reply on the wrong comment.

I can’t speak to the views of others, but I suppose that I personally don’t see the harm so long as the player doesn’t give microsoft the money. I kind of assumed that you needed a legit copy of the game to be able to play online, but I don’t actually know anything about pirating it either.

I’m not a video gamer personally, but isn’t this owned by microsoft, a company on the bds list?

That’s not true, anarchists regularly allow themselves to be infiltrated by cops and closet white supremacists.

This article has done a tremendous job of making the Zionists here expose themselves. They take issue with this, but can’t form an argument against the points being raised as is typical with Zionists.

If you have no problem saying that Boers are complicit in Apartheid or that Southerners are complicit in slavery, then you should have no problem with saying that Jews are complicit in Zionism. If any of the other groups mentioned here was doing the same as Israelis are doing currently, no one here would have a problem with saying “Yes, All Boers/Southerners” nor would anyone call that “hate speech” other than right-wingers themselves. Jews aren’t exceptional, and the standards you apply to Boers and Southerners should apply just as much to them.

Yeah, I agree. Revolution is not happening in the US or Europe, there are no viable formations there today and the people there refuse to build one. The best thing someone could do would be to learn a useful skill and move to the global south to help counteract the brain drain.

Yeah, my view exactly. It’s closer in reach than ever before, but will nonetheless take time and work.

Me too, I think it’s likely that the US Empire is in for a bad time in the coming years. Still a major obstacle no doubt, but definitely not as much 10 years ago.

The US is definitely losing in Iran. That said, I don’t think we’ll be seeing a noticeable increase in people seizing the moment to overthrow imperialism, even in much of the global south. The West’s (albeit weakened) hold on the world’s political economy and various collaborator and comprador elements are still going to be obstacles. Not to mention colour revolutions.
