Nothing to worry about! If you wanted to, you could format it as a text post and embed multiple images in it. I don’t think it’s a big deal to do it this way tho!

Yours is cropped better!

I’m looking forward to the “it’s wrong to make fun of the dead” crowd

What should be the goals of Ukraine and Russia in the war?

They already told you. Were you not paying attention?

Should Russia be able to seize land and invade a sovereign country whenever they want?

No. Good thing they’re not doing that.

Should Ukraine not be allowed to defend sovereign territory?

The Donbas and Crimea aren’t part of Ukraine.

Should Ukraine simply give up what land has been lost?

Yes.

The other option is to keep fighting for it and still give it up when they lose.

That makes sense, thank you!

I absolutely agree! I was trying to coyly bring it around to supporting Hamas (like, if I support the “good rebels” and they directly support Hamas, then I do too, at least for now).

I was thinking that could cut off the usual talking points, but I could probably work on it.

Our tax dollars are paying for bombs being sent to Israel to be dropped on children. That ain’t right. Turn that tap off.

I’m in agreement. I guess that’s the important part!

What do you think is happening here? You’re in the communist instance; your accepted worldview isn’t universal.

I don’t accept that it’s been proven that Hamas fighters wholly slaughtered civilians at the music festival.

I’m sure there were some civilian casualties, but the IDF has pretty conclusively proved that they don’t mind shooting through their own citizens to hit militants.

Your acceptance of the zionist-propagated view of the 10/7 operation shows that your initial condemnation of both sides is only surface level.

You’ve chosen a side, and it’s the side of occupation.

Were the Haitian slaves wrong to rebel?

I support the fighters in the PFLP, the secular communists.

They’re fighting alongside Hamas, though.

So you oppose the zionist slaughter of innocents, but accept their framing of the 10/7 operation?

I think that’s what you’re missing. The Zionist state is indiscriminately murdering Palestinians, and has been for decades.

Hamas actions to fight back should be widely supported.

They have a UN affirmed right to armed resistance.

And they’re resisting.

So, Hamas did not really kill ~a whole camp of young festival goers, who were dancing on occupied ground?

They 100% did not kill all 3,000+ festival goers, no.

I guess I just didn’t think of the things it referenced as an answer to my issues - I probably should’ve read more closely!

Thanks for the recommendations on further reading!

Yeah, idk how that would work. It needs workshopping!

They tried the targeted assassinations thing, and it didn’t work

Thank you! :)

Killing civilians is just wrong on many aspects: • Often civilians have no choice on the handling of political affairs.

Do you agree that the bombing of Hiroshima was a war crime?

It’s probably not a big deal, but I felt like it could’ve been more radical?

They spent some time lionizing the Green New Deal as a good thing, time talking about what’s wrong with the current system (good), how those problems can be addressed (good), but not how we get from now to being able to address the problems.

Like, maybe I need some self-crit as a violence fetishist or something, but I don’t think they really addressed the necessity for armed struggle.

I guess the book’s not really meant for that, and maybe it’s meant more as an introduction to decolonization for people who’d be turned off by the idea of armed struggle.

Idk, I read “Revolution in the Revolution” right before, so that probably colors my perception of it. Maybe I need a re-read!
