Yeah … Find me an AES nation that’d take my wife and I in when I haven’t yet finished my degree. Many places will not welcome you unless you have skills to provide. In addition we’re both trans women so that doesn’t help the situation.
Are you implying that the success of a country depends solely on the culture, ideology, and politics of the people in government? Does that makes you too authoritarian to be in America with its empty slogan of democracy, human rights, pluralism, and rule of law? If you think that the living condition of a country does not depend on climate, rich natural resource, stolen cultivated land, strategic trading locations, free Indigenous child slaves in Indian Residential fake schools, free stolen inheritance in fake cultural assimilation of Indigenous children, authoritarian colonial free riding, nor special privilege from global empires, then why do you not go live in a harsh barren wasteland like the Federal Reserve concentration camps that imprisons any First Nations people who demands reparation from European invaders?
You can also live in the moon or Mars where you can prove your ideology that you can magically produce infinite finance for the travel cost and the magical power to make a perfectly habitable land from barren wasteland within one year like what Fukuyama wrote in The End of History about the Soviet states. Besides, the Western people did had the myth that Nazi can operate establish successful settlement in Antarctica and that the Scary Red people have the invitation of the Invisible Hand to rule over lazy Capitalists in Pax Americana.
If people want to leave that’s fine but somebody needs to put in the work necessary to dismantle the empire from within. “Just leave” is a solution for individuals; not the masses as a whole.
I would if I could, but aside from teaching English (which I have terrible experience with), I don’t think I have any labor to offer that would get me a visa or a job there…
Understandable frustration. Hexbear should know better than to ban criticism of socdems who have already shown that they don’t have the backbone not to capitulate to Zionist narratives. Still, the appropriate way to deal with that frustration is not by taking it out on your comrades. I empathize but this post is misguided.
This is way too close to the BS where people claim that it’s israel running the US instead of the other way around.
There’s already a term for what you’re talking about. Colonizer. Israel did not invent colonization by a long shot and if we were to go back in time and focus on a specific group as the originator, it’d probably make more sense to say modern colonizers are “spiritually British empire” or something. I can see how someone might arrive at using shock rhetoric of comparing people to israelis, but the problem in this case is that it implies israeli is uniquely awful in a way past colonization hasn’t been; not only does this feed into the narrative of giving israel power it doesn’t have, it actually absolves other colonizers of their history by implying what they did is not as bad (similar has happened with Hitler/Nazi rhetoric, with people in the US for example talking about it like the US was heroes who helped stop it, rather than recognizing that what the Nazis did was not dissimilar from what the US did in order to create its nation and the US collaborated with Nazis during and after WWII). Another way to say similar without that problem might be to say that if you are a colonizer, israel learned from you on how to do it and normalize it. Like how we say that the Nazis learned from Jim Crow laws (which is true).
I do find it interesting when western leftists get criticized they tend to get hostile even if it’s valid criticisms. I try to check my privilege at the door but sometimes I also forget.
