Mao, 1956:
Now U.S. imperialism is quite powerful, but in reality it isn’t. It is very weak politically because it is divorced from the masses of the people and is disliked by everybody and by the American people too. In appearance it is very powerful but in reality it is nothing to be afraid of, it is a paper tiger. Outwardly a tiger, it is made of paper, unable to withstand the wind and the rain. I believe the United States is nothing but a paper tiger.
When we say U.S. imperialism is a paper tiger, we are speaking in terms of strategy. Regarding it as a whole, we must despise it. But regarding each part, we must take it seriously. It has claws and fangs. We have to destroy it piecemeal. For instance, if it has ten fangs, knock off one the first time, and there will be nine left, knock off another, and there will be eight left. When all the fangs are gone, it will still have claws. If we deal with it step by step and in earnest, we will certainly succeed in the end.
Strategically, we must utterly despise U.S. imperialism. Tactically, we must take it seriously. In struggling against it, we must take each battle, each encounter, seriously. At present, the United States is powerful, but when looked at in a broader perspective, as a whole and from a long-term viewpoint, it has no popular support, its policies are disliked by the people, because it oppresses and exploits them. For this reason, the tiger is doomed. Therefore, it is nothing to be afraid of and can be despised. But today the United States still has strength, turning out more than 100 million tons of steel a year and hitting out everywhere. That is why we must continue to wage struggles against it, fight it with all our might and wrest one position after another from it. And that takes time.

Israel-Palestine Conflict
Sources on the fighting in Palestine against Israel. In general, CW for footage of battles, explosions, dead people, and so on:
UNRWA reports on Israel’s destruction and siege of Gaza and the West Bank.
English-language Palestinian Marxist-Leninist twitter account. Alt here.
English-language twitter account that collates news.
Arab-language twitter account with videos and images of fighting.
English-language (with some Arab retweets) Twitter account based in Lebanon. - Telegram is @IbnRiad.
English-language Palestinian Twitter account which reports on news from the Resistance Axis. - Telegram is @EyesOnSouth.
English-language Twitter account in the same group as the previous two. - Telegram here.

Russia-Ukraine Conflict
Examples of Ukrainian Nazis and fascists
Examples of racism/euro-centrism during the Russia-Ukraine conflict
Sources:
Defense Politics Asia’s youtube channel and their map. Their youtube channel has substantially diminished in quality but the map is still useful.
Moon of Alabama, which tends to have interesting analysis. Avoid the comment section.
Understanding War and the Saker: reactionary sources that have occasional insights on the war.
Alexander Mercouris, who does daily videos on the conflict. While he is a reactionary and surrounds himself with likeminded people, his daily update videos are relatively brainworm-free and good if you don’t want to follow Russian telegram channels to get news. He also co-hosts The Duran, which is more explicitly conservative, racist, sexist, transphobic, anti-communist, etc when guests are invited on, but is just about tolerable when it’s just the two of them if you want a little more analysis.
Simplicius, who publishes on Substack. Like others, his political analysis should be soundly ignored, but his knowledge of weaponry and military strategy is generally quite good.
On the ground: Patrick Lancaster, an independent and very good journalist reporting in the warzone on the separatists’ side.
Unedited videos of Russian/Ukrainian press conferences and speeches.
Pro-Russian Telegram Channels:
Again, CW for anti-LGBT and racist, sexist, etc speech, as well as combat footage.
https://t.me/aleksandr_skif ~ DPR’s former Defense Minister and Colonel in the DPR’s forces. Russian language.
https://t.me/Slavyangrad ~ A few different pro-Russian people gather frequent content for this channel (~100 posts per day), some socialist, but all socially reactionary. If you can only tolerate using one Russian telegram channel, I would recommend this one.
https://t.me/s/levigodman ~ Does daily update posts.
https://t.me/patricklancasternewstoday ~ Patrick Lancaster’s telegram channel.
https://t.me/gonzowarr ~ A big Russian commentator.
https://t.me/rybar ~ One of, if not the, biggest Russian telegram channels focussing on the war out there. Actually quite balanced, maybe even pessimistic about Russia. Produces interesting and useful maps.
https://t.me/epoddubny ~ Russian language.
https://t.me/boris_rozhin ~ Russian language.
https://t.me/mod_russia_en ~ Russian Ministry of Defense. Does daily, if rather bland updates on the number of Ukrainians killed, etc. The figures appear to be approximately accurate; if you want, reduce all numbers by 25% as a ‘propaganda tax’, if you don’t believe them. Does not cover everything, for obvious reasons, and virtually never details Russian losses.
https://t.me/UkraineHumanRightsAbuses ~ Pro-Russian, documents abuses that Ukraine commits.
Pro-Ukraine Telegram Channels:
Almost every Western media outlet.

https://t.me/ice_inii ~ Alleged Ukrainian account with a rather cynical take on the entire thing.
Not gonna look at polls, kamala will lose. They’ll blame Black/Hispanic people, men, Muslims, Jews, Jill Stein, and more, but the root cause will be the genocide in Palestine. If I’m wrong I’ll run a marathon with no training or something similar idk
Both campaigns have no energy. Boring election cycle
Both campaigns have no energy
Trump just danced for 30 minutes straight during a conference and answered 0 questions during it
We Will Dance Again
Both candidates deserve to lose the elections even if you ignore Palestine. They deserve to be sent to Hague because you should not ignore Palestine

Algeria: Funeral prayer done for Yahia Sinwar
deleted by creator
So far, more than 6.6 million people have voted in the US elections. In Pennsylvania, 631,000 people have already voted, with the majority of counties voting Democratic.
Georgia, considered a pendulum state, has just reached 10% of the 2020 election vote in just 2 days of early voting. Fulton County (a Democratic stronghold) is the county with the most votes cast so far.
Apparently the IOF cut off Sinwar’s index finger, ostensibly “to check his identity”. There’s a video, but I’m not gonna link it.
First off, isn’t that considered desecration of a corpse and therefore a war crime?
Second, isn’t that also kind of a religious hate crime? Raising the index finger has significance in Islam, no? (I am not Muslim, please fact check me)
Speaking of Sinwar, even in Gaza there has been a wave of trash floating over people about him, a lot would curse him the past few months because they believed he was sitting comfortably while they had to endure the war, this breaks that. And I don’t think anyone was expecting this 62 year old man to have been fighting in the front lines, you don’t understand how dumb israel is for showing us how they killed him, they disproved the same lies they’ve spread for an entire year, a cowar rat living in the tunnels surrounded by human shields turns out to have been the entire time in the safest place can be when fighting western forces… the front lines
They need to do these sort of stuff to easy the pain of 24/7 rocket barrages that sends them to bunkers in and out.
”Oh yeah? Well in Gaza what if you were gay?”
I always respond with “so you think it should be legal to kill homophobes?” and I either get ghosted or some “achually thats a false equivavenvy” bs.
Sometimes I dig deeper, most often I don’t. It’s a fun gotcha tho, and it’s fun to encourage them to kill republicans since they’re so for murdering “religious extremists” or whatever they wanna call palestinians.
I am still shocked at how blatantly the IOF will parade their war crimes on social media. Like they are so lost in fascism that they don’t even understand how absolutely bloodthirsty they look or they do understand and they view being this monstrous as a good thing.
I’m tired of reading “have you no shame sir” but from us. Nobody in power fucking cares, it’s all manufacturable.
Harris says death of Yahya Sinwar is chance to finally end “Israel”-Gaza war | The Guardian
Kamala Harris has hailed the death of Yahya Sinwar as an opportunity to finally end the war in Gaza and prepare for “the day after” when Hamas no longer dominates the territory.
The US vice-president and Democratic nominee said “justice has been served” with the death of the Hamas leader, adding that the US, “Israel” and the wider world were “better off as a result”.
fucking hate her so much. rest in power Yahya Sinwar you will always be remembered
Trump just dancing probably did more to improve his campaign than him actually getting shot lol. Meanwhile Kamala goes to Joe Rogan and still comes out as the most generic dem politician ever to exist.
Aid airdrops today from UAE planes in the southern Gaza Strip resulted in the martyrdom of 81-year-old Arif Khalil Hassan and the wounding of several others. His son stated: "We were sitting in our tents safely… Six boxes fell on him. We don’t want aid. We want the war to end… Even the aid is killing us! The whole world is just watching
It’s completely insane to me that the Israelis actually released the video of Sinwar’s death, along with a bunch of details that confirmed that he died fighting until his last breath on the front lines. Do they not understand how that looks?
