>Because it's a US/zionist imperial tool and nothing more
this is a complete misunderstanding of how the kurds think
not to say that their thinking is right but this isnt whats going through their heads
they are looking out for themselves first and foremost and will work with anyone towards that end, including russia and china
>The US quite literally operated illegal concentration camps on Syrian land using Kurds as a proxy
>it still uses Kurdish-held territory for US military bases and oil theft
proof?
>Kurdish nationalists, like Ukrainian nationalists have been duped by the promises of a lying, genocidal empire which has stabbed them in the back consistently
you seem to think that nationalists arent aware of the rotten nature of the deals they make
they are, and they just dont care
the idiocy of nationalism is with the nation state itself not with which devil they shake hands with

>>161493
>how the kurds think
Completely irrelevant, you can say exactly the same thing about Ukrainian nationalists.
>proof?
Vidrel.
The US operated an illegal """suspected ISIS family member""" concentration camp (housing people from "16 different countries") on Syrian land using the Kurds as hired prison guards. They operated it right up until, eventually, after ISIS/HTS/Al-Nusra took over the Syrian government with US support, the new US-backed ISIS government kicked the Kurds out and took over control of the """suspected ISIS family member""" concentration camp.
>not with which devil they shake hands with
Except this isn't true at all.
Cuba supported national liberation movements in Africa which were successful and fostered mutual respect. Iran did too with the ANC struggle against apartheid, actually. Cuba's support of Venezuela was mutually beneficial, as was the USSR's support for revolutionary Vietnam.

The US, by stark contrast, has become the world's single biggest superpower through well-established patterns of coercion, betrayal, murder, and exploitation. While it's not, at all, the only country which can be criticized for this (the USSR, despite having mutually beneficial relations with Vietnam, can be criticized for its relations with other countries in some other cases), it is far and away the most consistent and ruthless backstabber, and is by far the most ambitious and greedy empire of the day. There's no guarantee that ascending powers like China won't become like this some day, but today, by comparison, they are much less evil.

On top of all this, the US is nowhere near the region and doesn't suffer at all, or at least not on any comparable scale, for any mass death and destruction that its meddling in the region causes.
This isn't to say that, if someone else were to back the Kurds, that separatism would suddenly be a good idea (it would not), but the US has already stabbed them in the back multiple times. At this point it really seems like part of the reason the Kurds can't do much about who their "benefactor" is is because the US bases are already there and the Kurds couldn't kick them out even if they wanted to do it tomorrow.

the point of the fight against imperialism was never to create new nation states but to serve the international unity of all peoples
lenin rejected the league of nations for this very reason

Maybe we should make a nation-state where billionaire pedophiles can rule themselves, since they seem to have a shared set of cultural values. Where should we locate it though?

Anybody know why Kurdistan hasn't taken a page out of Israel's playbook and forced there to be a Kurdistan ethnostate?

I’m talking about their contempt/fear against younger people.
The constant whining about younger generations having differing aesthetics than them, accusing them of “fascism”.

>>161603
If we can be fair, 4chan shares the same politically correct spooks as Reddit tbh.
They use the same buzzwords, same aesthetic biases.
Difference is, their political orientations.

But I’m gonna go out on a limb and say that Reddit has more civil discourse than Leftypol.
I don’t see any obnoxious gynophilic-automisandrist platitudes on Reddit.

Even in households where the moms aren’t domineering, a lot of dads are somewhat dismissive of their sons.
Fathers are fickle life teachers. A lot of boys have to learn more about manhood from coworkers, coaches, neighbors or even strangers than their own dads.

What about the ant-Jewish propaganda and general psychosphere? What about Jews getting arrested and transferred to somewhere?

>>161596
I wonder if Germany was the only country to do Jewry concentration camps. I bet they had satellite camps out-of-state.

Who said anything about Jews?
The first people Nazis whisked off to the camps were communists. In fact, many of the first Jews to be arrested were socialists, deemed political opponents. The Nazis propagandized against, and mass-arrested, and mass-executed lots of people - socialists, trade unionists, social democrats, Jews, Roma, migrants, disabled people, pacifists, homosexuals, Jehovah's Witnesses, etc. The average German might have been aware of the arrests without being aware of the mass killings and mass deaths, the Nazis at higher levels took some effort to cover up what they were doing. By stark contrast, the "israeli" government is often pretty open about what it's doing when the higher-ups make statements and give orders in Hebrew rather than English, and the "israeli" public line up to materially aid in it - blocking and attacking aid vehicles, attacking ambulances, etc.

>Gary, Indians

Isn’t that the birthplace of the Jackson Five?

The us will probably bulkanize again.

>>161613
It is. Gary, Indiana is actually very poor and crime ridden, so people saying Michael Jackson is actually hood are correct. Also he had a danger room in his house with locks and all. He's famous and wealthy. It isn't unusual for someone like that to take precautions. Look at how some of these rappers died. Pop Smoke died being robbed in his own home. Xxxtentacion died in his home city he's from.

Anyway Michael Jackson owned the Beatles catalogue and they didn't like that and now he's dead and the Jackson estate doesn't own the Beatles catalogue anymore.

Ep. 30: China's Palestine Abstention and the Baizuo Backlash w/ Ezra
by Strait Talk with Xiangyu

In this episode, Ezra and I dive into the debates surrounding UN Resolution 2803 and the intense online reaction that followed China's abstention. We explore why so many Western leftists (baizuo) default to a universalist worldview that ends up upholding the existing world order in practice, especially when they assume their values should apply uniformly across all civilizations. The conversation moves beyond surface-level ideology as we unpack how many commentators mistakenly interpret China solely through the lens of communism, ignoring the deeper philosophical foundations that have shaped Chinese statecraft and thinking for thousands of years.

Ezra and I get into the Chinese philosophical traditions that inform China's decision-making, offering a perspective that helps make sense of China's policy of non-intervention and why China acts the way it does on the global stage. If you're looking for a grounded discussion that cuts through Western noise and digs into the civilizational logic behind China's choices, this episode has you covered.

Ep. 37: The Compatible Left in the Era of CHINAMAXXING w/ Grayson & Sungross (@RTSG_Main)
by Strait Talk with Xiangyu

Over the last decade, more and more people in the west have started calling themselves socialist, communist, and even Marxist-Leninist. In more recent years, we've also seen the rise of "CHINAMAXXING," with growing numbers of young Westerners becoming curious about China after direct exposure through platforms like Xiaohongshu (Red Note), where they're interacting with ordinary Chinese people online.

But what exactly are people becoming "pro-China" toward?

In this episode of STXY, I'm joined by Grayson from Infrared and Sungross from @RTSG_Main to discuss the rise of what we call the compatible left, a form of Western leftism that adopts radical aesthetics and sometimes anti-imperialist language while remaining fully compatible with mainstream US political and foreign policy structures.

We talk about how socialism and communism in the West have increasingly been redefined through the lens of radical liberalism, and how many self-described "pro-China" leftists often project an imaginary version of China that conforms more to Western progressive sensibilities than to China as it actually exists.

We also discuss how China has become a proxy object in American political discourse, with both the right and the left turning China into whatever they need it to be for their own domestic narratives. For some, China is an authoritarian threat. For others, it becomes a fantasy woke utopia. In both cases, China itself often becomes secondary to American political identity and culture war dynamics.

As case studies, we examine Hasan Piker and Kat Abughazaleh. Hasan recently visited China during the height of the CHINAMAXXING trend and publicly praised many aspects of the country while livestreaming here, helping normalize direct exposure to China among younger Western audiences. But despite presenting himself as anti-establishment, socialist, and now a "friend" of China, he returns to the United States and throws his support behind figures like Kat Abughazaleh, whose foreign policy positions on China are fully aligned with mainstream US strategic interests and, in some cases, even more hawkish than establishment Republicans and Democrats.
