  • it really bothers me how common imperial speak is that when we actually name things as they should we are the ones being pointed at. calling occupied korea “south korea” should be comparable to calling people slurs. it is literally accepting and endorsing that fascism could and should rule the “lesser people”. hawaii is a colony, puerto rico is a colony, japan is colony, korea is a colony, and so on, and so on, and so on.

    this kind of shit ppl say about latam countries is dumb af tbh. yes, all of latam was formed as settler colonies but why on earth would you want to balkanize global south countries? if anything, and it’s what we latinos been wanting to do, we should unite and build la patria grande. in the majority of cases we do not care that there are a ton of different ethnic groups, we rather unite. this is not to say certain groups shouldn’t receive more autonomy or even their own governance over their land, but it would be the equivalent to balkanize china because they have different ethnic groups.




  • i know the us imperialist doctrine poisons how we view military operations, but not always a flashy, big, or “consequential” attack makes sense. first of all it comes down to long range missiles not being able to target the mainland, but also because keeping the war local helps to both eliminate the burger reich presence in the region by destroying military bases and to deplete their arsenal which is already at very low capacity after years of protracted proxy wars in ukraine and palestine. this also poses another factor in favour of iran, since the us needs to move assets from neighbouring countries/colonies to the affected areas. which is a really big issue in terms of resupply logistics.
