It’s nice to read this reality check after just a barriage of news on the damn Zionists commiting atrocities without any reprisal. Obviously, things are still horrid in Palestine and Southern Lebanon but it’s nice to see some aspects of their failures while everywhere on the internet moves to slience their critics and failures.


I am the same. It took me quite a bit to become more communist. I was liberal -> to anarchist for most of my youthish life.


Yeah, you are right. I should do well to remember that.
I have also heard (albeit superficially) that the opposition parties basically offer very little or seems to get caught in positions or scandals that basically dwindles any meaningful support combined with unfortunate idealist messages that seems cringe to most people. It’s just stuck in a deadlock so I assume most people just go with whatever until something materially change.


Too bad. We are all in the same boat here. Ignoring all the bots responding in the comments being like “le right wing Japan based”, it’s probably not going to be too damaging unless it somehow boils over into some incident. Even then, Japan’s international reputation still gets the benefit of the doubt compared to every other nation who are also affected by this.
It’s not like with Zionists who have such an awful reputation everywhere for basically acting like self-entitled monsters that it is unavoidable even when every government alligns bend over backwards to shield them.


I pray this genocidal settler state fall within our lifetime.


They have spent quite a bit building up to it so it really is a matter of when they are ready to go. I can only hope that if it does happen in full, that Iran would completely humiliate them for their hubris but even so the empire will always destroy on their way in and out.


Yeah, I am in the same boat. Even most of my online friends tend to just be lib with anarchist vibes, it’s becoming a little isolating to just keep my mouth shut.
Most of the explicit communists or socialists group in my country have already been killed and chased away. Either suppressed to a degree that finding one is an impossible roulette.
I share your sentiments. My thoughts has been harming me with alot of doomerism over whether we will see the fall of the genocidal state and the liberation of Palestine within our lifetime. Reading any Israel news that has just been nothing but “they continue to commit atrocities with little repercussions”. In the positives, Hezbollah continues to be a successful thorn and should be commemorated but they too will likely have limits and it’s hard to tell if it will swing back to Israel’s favor simply because they are funded by the most shameless, disgusting, but still wealthy and powerful U.S. empire.
However, I do think it’s helpful to take a step back and ruminate about how we can take those feelings into something that can produce productive results. By all means, do take a break, go sleep, or even distract yourself for just a few minutes to get your thoughts in order.
It’s fine to be sad and angry, you should be. We are helpless depending on where we are but the fall of Israel and Zionism will not come in a day. Engaging in wantless doomerism and adventurism will only entrench the genocidal state.
