Oh I got a cowbee response I'm honored. Always like reading your posts/comments I always come away thinking how well thought out and well read they are. (As a longtime lemmygrad/hexbear/.ml lurker only recent poster)

I largely agree that the western left appears to be shifting as material conditions for the labor aristocracy worsen and the fangs of imperialism turn inwards.

At the same time I'm sure you can understand that at this moment in history calls from the western left for solidarity from the global south are slightly ridiculous and clearly from a place of privilege.

You flatter me too much, comrade. I'm a humble student of the generations of revolutionaries that precede us, trying to deepen my understanding through dialogue, and figure out better ways of persuading people to our shared cause.

I do agree, calls for solidarity from the global south as the Empire itself is finally truly feeling its own fangs (at least, the white population is finally beginning to feel it, people of color, queer folk, disabled folk, etc have felt it since the outset of this genocidal settler-colony-turned-empire began) is a bit absurd. Insulting, even. My hope was more to turn it into a point about revolutionary optimism, in that hopefully soon there won't be a US Empire to speak of outside of history books.

The water droplets may not bore through the stone today, tomorrow, or even in the next decade, but we will win, and that victory is closer than I think many of us realize if this pace of radical change continues.

Thanks for your thoughts!

Same! Cowbee is like the ML Mr. Miyagi out here. Always so implacably calm and collected with a seemingly supernatural level of patience and generosity when it comes to dealing with all the libs on lemmy.

His comments were very helpful for me translating my political thoughts to English.
