The thing that irks me about this joke is that the author — in this case, BulldogMuhammad — is indifferent to the glaringly obvious reality that both the Libyans and the Iranians have suffered enormously because of neoimperialism. In which case, a few people reluctantly glossing over their politicians’ anticommunist atrocities should be among BulldogMuhammad’s least concerns.

If you won’t listen to a Northerner like me, maybe you’ll listen to the Worker-Communist Party of Iraq.

With the entry of American and British troops into the center of Baghdad at noon this day, the fascist Baath régime has uttered it last words. Now, [the] régime is ousted, a major obstacle has been rubbed from the way of masses’ liberation in Iraq, but the expense is a gloomy future that the masses encounter in Iraq.

The collapse of this barbaric régime has not been an outcome of the struggle of working masses and toilers who are after welfare, life, freedoms, and happiness, but an outcome of the U.S. missiles and bombs, the most barbaric massacre and the operation of mass annihilation whose victims are thousands of the innocents children, elderly, women and men who all have no guilt in what is happening.

Millions have been displaced and have held their breaths for weeks due to devastating and ghastly horror. The collapse has occurred on the expense of destroying the infrastructure of the society and its economic pillars and edging it toward the whirlpool of chaos and insecurity. Such an outcome will not achieve the noble masses’ expectations which they have shed blood to enjoy for decades.

The USA is not the “liberator” of masses in Iraq. It is not the masses’ “savior”. The collapse of the Baath régime is a yield of a reactionary war waged by America to enthrall the world and impose its hegemony on it. This collapse can not be considered a victory for the masses in Iraq.

The USA and its allies have brought this régime to stand against communism and workers, freedom and equality, left and radicalism, and the efforts for a better life during the Cold War. They had backed him and strengthened his espionage and suppressive institutions. They had trained his criminal gangs. They had disregarded his crimes, operations of annihilation and bloodbaths. They have aligned in the régime’s trenches against the struggle of the masses in Iraq for liberation and equality. They had helped it live longer by imposing the economic sanction on the masses in Iraq, fettered their will and blown all their struggle efforts to present them handcuffed to the teeth of this barbaric régime.

The USA is responsible of the death of more than a million of peoples in Iraq due to the oppressive sanctions. Getting rid of the USA, its ominous rôle, its existence and the total of its plans and projects are an obvious goal declared by emancipatory masses in Iraq and all over the world for decades.

Because of its excessive recklessness, the USA blatantly talks about a military interim government to rule Iraq and openly deny the masses’ right of determining their political destiny and their expected political rule. America does not refrain from supporting nationalist, religious tribal and sectarian militias and groups, ex-hirelings of the fascist Baath régime and its ex-generals such as Al khazrajy, Al Samerrae and Al Jobory and nominates them as the bases of future government in Iraq disregarding the masses’ opinions and against their will.

The USA has no problem in handing the responsibility of ruling Basra and Amara to sheikhs whom society had swept since decades. The government, the pentagon is after, is not the representative of masses in Iraq as much as the case with the Baath régime. It enjoys no legitimacy and must unconditionally and immediately withdraw.

Slop is meant to be for posts from random internet users or other lemmy instances, not posts from people with actual influence over a significant number of people.

Use /c/popculture for Hasan or contra or whatever. If the mods there say no contra then that's the way it is i guess.

I haven't consulted anyone about this so if a more senior mod wants to contradict me i get it.

Agree or disagree in the comments I'm pretty easy to influence so argue if you want

California's blustery San Francisco Bay is home to the Golden Gate Bridge, commercial ports, public marinas and ferry boats. But more recently, a new sight is attracting locals' attention: Eastern North Pacific gray whales.

The whales have brought wonder, as residents and researchers now get to closely observe how they feed, breed and socially engage. They've also brought growing unease: why are so many of them undernourished and dying?

In 2025, a record number of 21 dead gray whales were found in the broader San Francisco Bay. So far this year, seven have died due to a combination of dwindling prey availability, climate change and human causes, researchers say.

The 4,140-sq-km bay is the largest estuary on the west coast of the US. Before 2018, this species of whales wasn't known to stop seasonally or consistently in the bay, bypassing it on their migration route down to Baja California and back up the Arctic, said Josephine Slaathaug, who led a recent study on gray whale mortality in the bay.

While a lack of food may be driving whales into the bay, it's not necessarily starvation that's killing them. In recent years, nearly one-fifth of the gray whales that have swum into the San Francisco Bay have died there, usually after being struck by ships, according to Slaathaug's study published in the journal Frontiers in Marine Science this week.
