1, 4 and 6 are on point. Only missing a gratuitous and vulgar ideological analysis of some form of sexual ingratification.

The bit about the Iraqi resistance
Did a little digging. Doesn't look like Kaine's a Bolton-type, but he does seem to be convinced for years that Iran has a nuclear weapons program and somehow it's the US's responsibility to stop it.
Isn't Kaine a Russia/Iran hawk?
Love and support to the people of Iran, Palestine, Yemen and all the people resisting the Zionist entity and Amerikkkan imperialism in mind, heart or body.
I cry for your people and your martyrs. The crimes the western imperialists have inflicted on these lands and these peoples for centuries is too much to bear. Inshallah justice and peace will come soon.
We should probably keep track of zio ratlines as the occupied territories eat more hypersonics
IIRC, Mieli's been keeping the door open to becoming a second Israel. Claiming South or Central America is hamas at this point might just be zionists planning future horrors.
Exactly.
Whenever the mask of "liberal democracy" slips off, we get so much clarity as to the true nature of what wears it. I actually prefer that honesty and I make sure to look closely and learn as much as I can from those moments. The tendency of liberal ideology to produce a cult of systemically oppressed who have a strong subconscious urge to only see the mask quickly restored, frustrates me endlessly.
Vibes-based politics is the opium war of class consciousness.
Clearly Hezbollah invaded Lebanon by being born there.
I had to look that up. I didn't know there was such a precise word for this.
Yep. You see it with Russian state diplomatic channels too. I've watched Lavrov inject random things that US chuds believe, into truthful statements about the Ukraine war. I'm certain Lavrov and Russian intelligence has better information than that. Russia knows that team blue isn't listening anyway, but the they can at least play into the existing reactionary mental bias of team maga to plant a few seeds.
It's not perfect, but then it's not really Russia's responsibility to fix Amerikkkan brainworms.
the indiscriminate Iranian attack on Israeli territory.
Iran’s nuclear program violates the Non-Proliferation Treaty and poses a threat to the entire region
Israel has the right to defend its existence
Germany remains committed to diplomacy
It's hard to be more wrong than that
You can't say they don't know their audience
The starting point for the Marxian analysis centers on the existing dominant forces of monopolistic industrial capitalism. Therefore socialist revolution still must move through capitalism by process of subordinating the ruling class to a proletarian state. As Cowbee pointed out, fascism is not a state absent capitalism, but rather mode of capitalism itself. Because of the inherent contradictions, we assume that any capitalist system already produces various quantities of fascism as a mechanism for maintaining superiority of the owner class.
I've lived inside the western propagandasphere most of my life, and I'm always surprised at how obscenely xenophobic and dishonest it is. To the point of being an inversion of reality.
I'm embarrassed to admit it, but I held on to many of these "china bad" media narratives and was reluctant to let go of them when confronted with reality. I can say now how wrong I was and irresponsible it was for me to perpetuate that bullshit. I won't excuse my old attitudes, but I do recognize that I didn't invent them either; I just sort of absorbed them.
The closer I look at China, the more my opinion improves. Especially with regard to geopolitics, the Belt and Road Initiative, BRICS, renewable energy and infrastructure building. It's a success story of the process of socialism; they are effectively constraining and directing capital to improve material conditions for the working class. Planning society to meet the needs of its populations works. Building peaceful and productive partnerships around the world works. Of course nothing is perfect and any rapidly industrialized society comes with growing pains, esp given China's own historical context, but I've come to regard China as close to as a model society for our point in time in many ways. And yep... I've also been guilty of having stupid ultra-left "iT'S NoT ReaL ComMuNiSm" takes too. I honestly wish I had been raised with a Marxist education in my early life so I could have found a sane way to understand the world much sooner.
As the empire collapses, I think it's becoming clear to more people that the western media narrative is a bandage over the rotting wound of capitalism; ignoring its own decay and falsely demanding that we believe everywhere else must be somehow worse.
