8·1 день назадlitters the document with MEMRI citations, New York Times citations, and Washington Post citations, all wuthoit criticism or engagement, just dumping them as fact in support of their claims.
Another author from the same clique of USian Maoists from the 70’s, J Sakai went off the deep end this way too.
I tried reading his most recent book and its the same way. Just uncritically NYT articles about “cartels” and “Russian invasion” and Uyghurs and stuff.
Above all, it is incredibly lazy, and given the seriousness of the topic, this demonstrates how little the author actually cares about any of this. It’s self-soothing for an ultra chauvinist that wants to think they are better than that.
It’s much easier to accuse everyone of being fascist than to acknowledge that there are actually revolutionary forces who we should be materially supporting. Burger do nothing politics.
30·4 дня назадExcerpt from article about the situation in Egypt:
Two years later, at least 120 remain in pretrial detention on charges of “spreading false news” and “joining an illegal gathering.” No major demonstrations have been held in Egypt since.
Lawyers with EIPR told Drop Site that dozens of others have been arrested for social media activity expressing solidarity with Gaza. “People have been detained for sharing a post or changing their profile photo to the Palestinian flag,” said a defense attorney who asked to remain anonymous for security reasons. “It’s enough to accuse someone of belonging to a terrorist organization.”
In one case, two minors from Cairo’s Dar al-Salam district were detained in March 2024 after painting graffiti reading “Free Gaza.” They remain behind bars today, held in a prison for adults in pretrial detention on charges of “spreading false information.”
…
“The regime uses the Palestinian issue to polish its image internationally,” said Kaldas. “But inside Egypt, it cannot tolerate any independent mobilization. Every chant, every banner, is treated as a potential revolution.” He added, “Most Egyptians fear that joining a protest for Gaza could mean vanishing into the system—held in pretrial detention that can drag on for years without trial or release.”
Thousands of political prisoners are being held in Egypt in pretrial detention without ever having been convicted of a crime, a practice widely condemned by human rights groups. In August, the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Volker Türk condemned Egypt’s widespread use of a practice known as “rotation”, whereby authorities bring fresh charges against individuals as they near the end of the maximum two-year period of pretrial detention—resetting the pretrial detention clock and holding people behind bars indefinitely.
By some counts, there are more than 60,000 political prisoners behind bars, including thousands held in pretrial detention. Between 2018 and 2021, monitoring groups recorded 941 rotations affecting 774 individuals—some rotated up to seven times. In December 2024 alone, the State Security Prosecution rotated 88 detainees into new cases, restarting the clock on their detention.
Regular day under US cultural/media/economic hegemony:
All Muslims are terrorists except for al Qaeda which is the legitimate government of Syria. In the UK now Al Qaeda Emir Joolani who was just this week removed from terrorist list but Pal Action is still proscribed.
Bashar al Assad was a comically corrupt supervising straight out of a marvel film and if you disagree then you are an “authoritarian” “axis of resistance ideologue” who is “denying atrocities.” Sednaya prison was the worst thing imaginable and deserved global multilingual media attention but Sisi’s dungeons with pro-Palestine demonstrators and al Saud’s significant increase in death penalty including minors (in some cases over social media posts!) are not even worth mentioning at all.
Popular Mobilization Units in Iraq are “Iranian power projection” but two decades of US occupation and its naked threats against the Iraqi government is “US influence”.
Democratically elected president of Venezuela Nicholas Maduro is a “dictator” who must be overthrown but don’t ask why the US refuses to participate in UN human rights reports.

A comprehensive information warfare campaign designed specifically to rehabilitate the image of US in the eyes of the subaltern and colonized. Compradors and native informant liberals play their role too.
Every time I see Zohran’s face or name pop up in Arabic media I curse the Yankee left for perpetuating a con artist scheme to convince the Arab world that the great satan is salvageable.
I don’t care about New York City. Whitewashing the US for free busses.

Yes thank you for clarifying.
It’s Absolutely incredible the mental gymnastics carried out by some individuals who now play the victim after all the people they hurt have been systematically bullied and banned off the platform.
