Warning: if anyone ventures into resistance chats, you will find a very interesting and timely operation spreading doomerism

Don't fall for them. This is not new and it has happened several times before.

Don't let them demoralize you or your comrades.

Don't let them antagonize allies of the resistance.

Patience is key. Trust in the resistance and trust in the courageous people fighting the Usraeli beast.

Strange. Personally, I feel pretty hopeful. It appears to me like the battle lines are being drawn more clearly, solidarity is strengthening for the Axis of Resistance, and the world is seeing that the empire can bleed like anyone else.

Forgive me if I sound more poetic than materialist, but I feel compelled to say: The old world is dying. Something new is taking shape. Now is the time of beginnings, in every space carved out by the resistance, every tendril of empire in retreat. We must not let our weariness cling to the gaunt pallor of imperial inevitability and instead look to the cracks where light is filtering in to claw at them, broaden them, until they burst and the whole rapacious palace built on bones and soil soaked in blood comes crashing down.

It's ok. Sometimes, the material reality is already poetic.

Too many folks have a parasocial relationship with that fucking squirrel, and too vested in Great Man Theory and are effectively anti-historical-materialism.

It is very simple, if Iran did not have leverage then their 10-point-plan wouldn't look the way it did.

If one then starts reading Clausewitz' On War and Manoel on Western Christianity then it becomes painful obvious what doomerism here is - westernised projection of the ineffectuality in being both a westerner and an anti-imperialist; the oppressed can only ever be fetishised as losers.

Hồ Chí Min fought his entire life for a free Vietnam, It took until 1976 for the imperialists to be defeated and even then it was beset by khmer fascists. He never got to see it. Lenin as well, he also barely got to see the Soviet Union at peace.
