          Yes, a lot of infighting in our ranks. Some of us even change their minds every now and then.

          Being brought up to actually experience some of the benefits from the wealth that capitalism brings and later being economically raped all day by the people who fucked our planet and own all the land in our countries does that to you.

    don’t forget the US-backed Filipino dictator Ferdinand Marcos Sr… he oversaw a borderline ethnic cleansing campaign against moro muslims in mindanao, had thousands tortured and killed and sometimes had their mutilated bodies strewn on public areas(this is what we call salvaging), created an oligarchy that lives on today and, with his wife and children and billions of public funds, was flown out of the country by orders of Reagan when his regime was toppled by the 1986 revolution.

    and now his son, who continues to deny his father’s crimes and refuse to return the billions they stole from us, is president.

    Thank you! I saw the anti-communist one earlier today and was so sick of seeing the same old iPhone vuvuzela type arguments on here.

      The sad part is that people just keep believing these tropes that have been thoroughly debunked at this point, and they just keep regurgitating them completely uncritically. Thankfully, seems that younger people are increasingly starting to question things.
