israel bombs aid sites they allowed to exist, theyve assassinated aid workers, if you think a video out the window of a plane of a region seen by satilite is gonna be the decision maker, then please, continue acting like Israels hand is being forced.

and what happens when Israel doesnt care whether proceadure was followed or not and bans them anyway.

Right I should read the words of a guy who denied the Cambodian genocide for years because a guy who never actually practiced socialism called himself a socialist while comitting the genocide.

Ah yes the literal monarchy that is closer to feudalism than anything remotely socialist.

And others were people who wanted actual democracy and actual socialism.

A term coined in the British communist party to refer to party members who supported the crushing of the Hungarian revolution and Prague spring with tanks. It's grown over time to be a catchall for leftists who will defend dictatorships that brutalize their people under a red banner.

I'm Canadian and a socialist, I'm against supporting dictators who brutalized their people because they did it less often than those before them. Cuba got fucked over a lot, none of it justifies dictatorship and oppression.

Also Soviet and Cuban propaganda ain't any more worth believing.

the various ethnic, religious, and social groups he was scapegoating, primarily Jews but also trade unionists, gay men, Roma, disabled people. Stalin didn't learn from Hitler and Hitler didn't learn from those before, secret police just make sense for a genocidal dictator.

The NKVD was Stalin's answer to kidnapping his political opponents, the ethnic groups he scapegoated, and to sate his paranoia, all three happened during the great purge. The Gestapo was to rid Hitler of his political opposition both inside and outside the Nazi party. He also used them against (2/3)

To the "but they actually are" no they are not looking at what Hitler did and going "let's do that" they are ejust doing the same shit because it is the logical move for a fascist, an authoritarian, a dictator. Take ICE for example, it behaves like the Gestapo and NKVD, why did those two start (1/3)

No dictator in history ever achieved anything by themselves. Hitler was just an extremist speaker, he needed militants to crack skulls for him, to murder his internal party opposition for him. Mussolini needed his Blackshirts to intimidate the king into power. Franco needed the military on his side.

It's amazing how your response to a vigil for Palestinian CHILDREN is you immediately going "these people are fucking scum because they aren't mentioning the victims of October 7th"

THE VIGIL IS FOR CHILDREN, CHILDREN ARE NOT HAMAS!

"this is me horribly repackaging decades of work by leftists feminists, and, queer people so I can act like I'm the first to come to these realizations, I'm also gonna undermine the point I've stolen by purposefully framing sex with women as something deserved by men".

put down their guns and kick out one of two governing authorities and make them hold elections despite being an active fucking warzone?

What's the warning then? Where in the world is the warning in only placing conditions on the victim state of a war and genocide, conditions that will make Israels continuation of their decades long genocide all that much easier? Where is it? Oh no Israel, we will recognize Palestine if they

To be fair the genocide has been raging since the 40s, it's just since Oct 7 there's been a massive uptick in violence to achieve it.

What about this is trying to end the conflict? Carney's saying Palestine can only be recognized if they essentially surrender to the imperialistic country that's been genociding then for 80 years

We recognize North Korea and Russia, a total monarchy and a regular ol presidential dictatorship, but God forbid we recognize this little tiny state in the middle east that has been suffering war and genocide against it for 80 fucking years by the genocidal democracy we sell arms to and recognize.

Also for someone who harps on about the two state solution you'd think we'd need to recognize there's two fucking states to pursue that.

It's truly amazing how British said Palestine is only a state of Israel can't stop shooting at them for a few minutes and we decide to one up the Brits and say Palestine is only a state to us if they disarm so Israel can yet again invade them this time without armed resistance good or bad.

France is the only one who made a slight warning. Britain said in no uncertain terms that if Israel stops shooting for a bit Paletsine isn't worthy of being recognized as a state and our govt has said that recognition is conditional on them making democratic reforms under the 77+ year of a genocide

Finally, if the liberals so need their millimeter long steps to be uncriticized to do them, then why are they so okay cutting the CBC budget? Is it that they don't need public applause to be shit, but they need it to be good even though being shit gets them elected? We gotta stop accepting garbage.

especially when we won't even call the genocide a genocide. Fuck Hamas but they are no less legitimate a govt than the North Korean Monarchy or the Russian dictatorship which we recognize both of, one of which we recognize, one of which gained recognition while a dictatorship.

That's not a good step when one side is a recognized government and its military that we arm comitting genocide, and the other is one of two governing bodies in Palestine which only exists because Palestinians suffered a genocide since the 40s. Palestinian statehood shouldn't be conditional,

A quote from Carney in the CBC. "Preserving a two-state solution means standing with all people who choose peace over violence or terrorism, and honouring their innate desire for the peaceful co-existence of Israeli and Palestinian states as the only roadmap for a secure and prosperous future,"

A commitment to recognize Paletsine if certain conditions we don't hold recognized states to get met by a govt that has no problem breaking commitments is not a step. Especially when it's clear this is the govt trying to catch up to France and Britains stances which in the latter's case sucks.

You went trying to make a criticism of the Canadian government, you were posting this under comments saying to not visit the US, if you criticized the Canadian govt you'd have actually said something to the effect of "the Canadian government is lying about the risks" with each post.

Then by all means, show some patronage to our country's tourism industry. You won't be kidnapped by the gestapo and you won't have highly invasive searches of your devices at the border.

And? Our govt is led by a bunch of trump appeasing fools who won on promising to not give in. We've lost billions in the concessions we've given just to continue trade talks, of course that govt won't claim theres a risk. Doenst change the fact we've seen enough people illegally detained by ICE.

when ruling against trumps admin do not have the power to control ICE since they don't have loyal law enforcement, trump does. The Minnesotan tourism economy and the tourist activities are not worth your freedom, safety, or even your life. Don't go, don't risk it, visit the actually free world. (3/3
