A proper intersectionalist wheel of oppression has class and race as fundamental identity markers.

well, exactly. but to some these things aren't important compared to self-created identities.

Regarding articles on Syria seemingly free of any actual politics...

http://internationalsocialistnetwork.org/index.php/ideas-and-arguments/war-and-imperialism





What? Does anyone actually understand this? This is so convoluted and odd... is their position actually that Britain, France and the US should be chastised for NOT backing (real or IMO to some extent imagined) democratic forces in Syria? This stuff is just so naive, how do people get to the point where they argue things like this?

If you trust the US, Britain and France to arm factions within the opposition they favour (real or imagined in this article) why wouldn't you trust them to just do a bit of bombing themselves?

They're all over the place. Are they fundraising for democratic forces in Syria? If so fair play to them, but imaging that the government here or in Washington has any interest in democratic forces or are an appropriate arbiter of who is best for Syria is laughable. The very last people you want picking winners are U.S, U.K or French governments - just look at their records!

On a side note, Peter Hitchens wrote a very good article on Syria at the weekend I thought.

I think that they've just been uncritically carrying the bags of Sunni Islamists for so long that they don't know when to stop.

I wouldn't wipe my cis cock on that list. What a load of intersectionalist holier-than-thou self-pleasuring the compiler gives themselves.

Fuck, but I hate try-hard right on types.

 

[ViolentPanda]

why do they hate noam chomsky

The Chomster has a beef bayonet. Nuff said.

The fact that he's turned more people on to politics and the contemplation of the worthlessness of party politics is neither here nor there compared to the fact that he was born with a wanger.

Lots of people like noam chomsky, there a few problems but he gets it bang on a lot of the time, a lot of the time he's been a big influence on people in getting them all into this stuff.

For the intersectionalistas that'll never be enough, because his having a dick wipes out all the good he's done in the world.
Remember the axis, combabe!

I don't understand the picture. Which ones are supposed be 'No' and which ones are 'Yes'? Their filing system is all fucked up.

Corrected for you, cis bastard

The 'No's are all the men at the top, the 'Yes'es are all the women, TGs/ISes etc below.

Ahh, I see it now, cheers. Although even when it makes sense it doesn't make sense.
