Uyghur propaganda blitz is wild cuz you’ll see citizens of the most violent imperialist countries who spent the past 21 years entertaining Jack Bauer fantasies & cheerleading the evisceration of majority Muslim countries suddenly anointing themselves some kind of Muslim defenders
Check out this ghoul who spent the past decade cheerleading a deadly Western imperialist war on Libya that obliterated worlds largest irrigation system, destroyed the most prosperous nation in Africa and restored slave markets. Now he’s suddenly a champion for Chinese Muslims.
These “human rights” NGO types peddle repackaged versions of the White Man’s Burden such as the euphemistic and Orwellian “Responsibility to Protect” (#R2P) to recast Western power grabs and resource monopolization as humanitarian action for the benefit of bumbling natives.
Colonialism never ended, it evolved. A particularly noxious component of contemporary neocolonial imperialism is the coterie of smug racist liars paid to rationalize imperialist violence as some kind of humanitarian duty bequeathed upon the white Western world.

Gerald Horne's Counter-Revolution of 1776 shatters the myth of the American Revolution as a historically progressive force, demonstrating conclusively its reactionary character and offering critical lessons for aspiring revolutionaries in today's reformed slavers' republic. 🧵
The roots of the settler's revolt against Royal Tyranny are to be found in the development of a complex web of contradictions that afflicted London's North American colonial holdings, a wildly unstable project whose Destiny was anything but Manifest.
London and her leading North American agents had to contend with a dizzying array of potential foes: poor whites (many of questionable ethnic and religious backgrounds), enslaved Africans, enraged Indigenous nations, as well as competing Catholic colonial powers France and Spain.

Some quick thoughts on liberal framing and reading between the lines with bourgeois authors, in the context of David Talbot's excellent book, The Devil's Chessboard: Allen Dulles, the CIA, and the Rise of America's Secret Government 🧵
Learning from liberals is a critical skill for Marxists. As the hegemonic ideology of the bourgeoisie, Liberalism pervades nearly every source of information available to us. Like Marx and Lenin, we must rely on liberals' observations while criticizing their conclusions.
Liberals and Marxists study the same phenomena and attempt to discern deeper structures by applying various conceptual models to their observations. Each observer brings a different toolbox of theories and concepts to bear on the problem, producing different results.

Extremely funny learning that American colonist conscripts sucked shit in the British armed forces, with the British coming to favor armed Africans, which the supremely anti-African colonists big time resented lol. That contradiction would soon thereafter erupt in 1776.
Settler denunciation of the “tyranny” of King George and the refusal of free men to be “slaves” takes on a whole new meaning when you realize part of that was being butt hurt over sucking ass as soldiers and being paid the same as black Jamaican soldiers lol.
“The American troops…were in general many degrees worse [than English conscripts]… worse never bore the name or could be picked out of all of Europe” lmao

Now’s a good time to read Operation Gladio by Paul Williams. From 1969-1980 the CIA actively stoked social conflict and carried out countless false flag terrorist attacks to create an atmosphere of fear and justify crackdowns on the left, the “Strategy of Tension.”
At one point the CIA even carried out a false flag kidnapping and assassination of Italian Prime Minister Aldo Moro, who was working towards a rapprochement with the communist left. Terrorist attacks and assassinations were regularly carried and blamed on the communists.
All this would sound like a wild conspiracy theory if not for the fact that the massive CIA conspiracy involving the mafia, the P2 Masonic lodge, fascists, the Vatican, and figures at every level of Italian security, media, and military institutions was exposed back in the 1980s.

InfraHaz is a fraud. Not only on the theoretical level but on a deep, personal level. Lots of ppl are familiar with Two Hole Haz's dubious knowledge of female anatomy, but this incident reveals so much about Haz as a person and grifter that it's worth reexamining. 🧵
In August 2021, Haz called into @kyootbot's speed dating stream and launched into misogynistic posturing as an "alpha male". Kyootbot immediately saw through his tough-guy facade, clocked him for the insecure fraud he is, and spent the next hour gently mocking our oblivious hero.
Let's go to the tape. Haz calls in and within minutes has been goaded into standing up and literally flexing, to feigned admiration. Haz follows up on his literal weird flex with an openly misogynistic "make me a sandwich" bit straight out of a 2008 high school locker room.

🧵 Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact, Part 2 🧵
Western popular history rests on numerous Big Lies repeated ad nauseam. One of these lies is that Hitler and Stalin were allies who collaborated to partition Poland in World War 2. This is provably false. Here's what actually happened.
Following the October Revolution, the nascent Bolshevik Russian Republic was invaded by 14 capitalist countries in support of the czarist White Army. Millions died and the Bolsheviks learned that their first task was defending the revolution against internal and external enemies.
Already woefully under-industrialized, relying on peasant agriculture and devastated by nearly a decade of war, the Bolsheviks set about rebuilding the country. The key tasks were to educate the population, build infrastructure, mechanize agriculture and industrialize the country
