Im not atrocitie baiting, this post isnt meant to be taken completly seriously. Yes i am being negative on the current situation in the west and all but when im begging for the chinese president to bomb us im just trying to be humoric. Im sorry if it isnt funny which it probably isnt as much as i hoped for but i can promise you that i am not here to "bait" and to post it on other platforms.

Yeah it's awful. Every time I hear coworker speak about "protecting democracy" I just laugh internally.

hopefully a revolution of the decolonial variety

but not every western country is a settler colonial regime. They engaged in colonialism and some are engaging in neo-colonialism but the people themselves have not stolen the land they inhabit. You cannot decolonize Portugal from Portuguese people because Portuguese are indigenous to Portugal. But you can decolonize Angola from the Portuguese because the Portuguese colonizers aren't from Angola. What you mean here is the US, Canada and Israel which are all Settler Colonial countries whose dominating demographic are not from this land but originally from Europe.

i personally think that western leftists have the responsibility to help the communist cause in the countries they live in even if a revolution is highly unlikely...somebody needs to do the dirty work and if every leftist from the west would immigrate to another country than the chances of socialism will go from 0,01% to a straight zero. It is hell here i agree but i wont use my western privilege to immigrate to Vietnam and abandon the socialists in the west just because i personally cant stand the current politics and want to immediately live under socialism. That although is my opinion and if you really want to live elsewhere i wish you all the best and that you will soon have the possibility to do so.

Its obviously a shitpost, rant, whatever. Begging Xi to liberate the west is just following up the mainstream media narrative that China wants to wage war, yare yare. Some find it funny, i myself dont.

Also it is pretty dumb to ask if if this is how we ALL think, as if this is some kind of monolithic group of people. While all of the members are left-leaning, not everyone is actually marxist-leninist, each and every member is at their own stage of learning and struggling with their own contradictions.

You'll see most of the lines in this shared in jokes or memes, but no one in the 'grad seriously thinks that China is interested in attacking the U$, or directly wants the death of innocent colonized people that would entail.

The general sentiment, that the political entity of the U$ needs to be fully destroyed, and that Westerners are incredibly blinded by propaganda, is largely shared here.

If you're not interested in seeing stuff from the grad, you should be able to block the few communities we post in pretty easily.

Maybe not so doom and gloom, but in general I think I can safely say that we agree with the broad point of this post. The west is so fully up its own ass and desperately needs a revolution, yes. I don't think that revolution can come from externally though. It'll be a long slow process, with the exploited periphery gradually liberating itself and the borders of the empire gradually contracting.

I have literally zero faith in the settler majority. I'd sooner believe y'all will go straight-up fascist before (with a major 'if' appended) you'll ever, ever take a truly progressive or egalitarian turn. I believe y'all would sooner kill your subjects-of-empire before y'all would ever liberate them. If I had the mass amounts of liquid resources necessary, I'd seek political asylum elsewhere. Y'all are lost causes to me, and I see nothing to be gained from putting my life on the line for those who'd never do the same for me.

depends but from what i can say....most of it i guess

this thread was made by the doomer western leftist gang

Yes and no. I think most people on lemmygrad have at least gone though a doom and gloom phase at one point, at least for us converts (Came from left liberalism, found communism, made a lot of sense to me when I broke through the propaganda bullshit, but felt like I hit a wall because anti-communism is so effective in the west).

If you stick around you will find a lot of good discussion with nuance, thought provoking ideas, and possibilities for positive change. But yeah, it's harder to do that than to just look at the world with disgust.

I'm going to go out on a limb and say nobody wants to die in nuclear fire.
