prediction: they're going to blame minorities

Seems likely they struck first, and Cambodia has been calling for a ceasefire since this morning while Thailand presses on with the fighting. Also Thailand is much more of a western ally in the region compared to Cambodia. And it's a soft military dictatorship. It's not exactly a clear-cut situation tho but I'm willing to say that Thailand is the aggressor and should chill out.

Yes, that's true. I hope that movements in the west can move towards a seizure of power soon because that's the only thing that will really end this.

I'm more talking about the kind of people (admittedly, they were more common a few years ago) who act like the left in the western countries is uniquely terrible and ineffective when the same things are true I so many countries. All of our movements have failed no matter where they're found.

Why would they need to break Egypt up when it's already a US client state complicit in genocide? Egypt is likely backing the Abu Shabab gang to some degree.

Campus uprisings in the US aside, and also you're significantly downplaying some of what Pal Action did (they caused millions in damage to some facilities and had several tangible victories)... Yeah absolutely, I'm just also saying that it's about as much as anyone else has done aside from the actual state entities and militias that existed prior to the start of the war.

Likely to lead anywhere you think? Seems like the Egyptian state has a solid grip on its populace but I'd like to be proven wrong.

makes a mockery of all those who constantly complain about the "western left" and its deficiencies
