Truga posted:https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachme...d63e94066f7db3& I cut the text out in blocks, and fed it to goog to translate from the image - _______ Tonight, in one of Ljubljana's central theaters, you can watch a play about the Pohor Battalion, which was unfortunately ambushed by an occupying army 23 times stronger in January 1943. But the Second World War unfolded differently, and in the end it was the partisans who marched victoriously out of the woods in May 1945. The liberation movements, which were born in response to the Italian and German occupation, are firmly embedded in the national identity everywhere in Europe, including the Slovenian one. No one was bothered, neither then nor now, that the partisans shed blood on ravines and ridges for four years. Every partisan march talks about how happily the weapons sang through the woods. Slovenian nation-building myths differ from others in that they like to beautify historical events: more modern, ethnically exclusivist versions of the mythologizing of Slovenian partisanship emphasize its cultural role. Smart books are written about how the partisans fought "with a book and a gun", with culture as ammunition. Covering the facts with sticky sugar cream is possible only from a safe historical distance. The truth is that the partisans did not come from the forests with books, songs and flowers. They came with rifles still loaded that had fired bullets the day before that cut through the flesh, bone and tissue of the Germans and before that the Italians. The occupiers were not crushed by nice words, diplomatic relations or decades of waiting for that. Others offer Slovenians peace, freedom and autonomy. The question of why countries that are countries only because they have armed resistance to their occupiers do not support the national liberation movement of the Palestinians today is almost rhetorical. Violent resistance against an occupier is another privilege that Western societies reserve for themselves, while violent resistance against occupiers, colonizers and other aggressors, when used by societies of the Global South, is viewed with performative outrage. Today, this attitude crystallizes almost as a cynical joke in the question: Do you condemn Hamas? "Terrorist organization," scream the right. Slaughterhouse of >>innocent civilians", the left complains to them without post-colonial consciousness. Terrorism? Hamas has not carried out a single regime change or sadistic neo-colonial invasion in another country, nor is it Hamas that dropped atomic bombs on densely populated Japanese cities. Moralizing about "innocent civilians" is only possible in places where, due to a favorable combination of historical circumstances, we never learned whether the partisans would still be shooting at "innocent German civilians" in 1955 if Hitler had succeeded in his ethnocide policy in Eastern Europe, if he had succeeded in the planned mass expulsion of Slovenes and would eventually settle Germans in villages from Koper to Murska Sobota. Decolonization thought teaches that there is no such thing as an "innocent civilian" in colonizing settlement projects. The idea of the "innocent civilian" is a key ideological concept of colonialism, which is invaluable precisely because it gradually distances the settler, and even more so his descendant, from the act of settling in the territory of the expelled communities, when enough time has passed and the appearance of a legitimate presence, normalization, even peace is created. Historical parallels for the violent resistance of the Palestinians, which does not dry up even after 70 years, can only be sought by imagining scenarios that did not unfold. By imagining a Europe, for example, that would not have come to the aid of the Red Army and the USA in the Second World War. If Hitler had succeeded in his project of colonizing Central and Eastern Europe in providing "lebensraum", a living space for the Germans, the question arises whether the grandchildren and great-grandchildren of the first partisans would still be setting up ambushes and digging dugouts 80 years later, would they be able and even willing to penetrate the wire, tear down the wall, and show the one who violently pushed them into real and metaphorical prisons, his way home. If the Pohor battalion numbered 67 young men - a sample of the fighting-capable generation at that time - where were all the others? In Maribor alone, more than 5,000 people worked in the German armaments industry, and even more became partisans if a German just waved his fist at them, innocent civilians" during the war were busy with how to get flour and meat. The key factor in German territorial penetration was, on the one hand, the massive military collaboration of Europeans with the Germans, and on the other, the desire of "innocent civilians" to simply live in peace, even if under the German boot. National liberation movements of all times and places join hands in spirit, even if there are differences between them. Thanks to the Allies, the Partisans did not have to fight for so long that the new order, when it normalized over time, would tear them away from the reason for their existence and their legitimate political goals, and the international community would declare them terrorists. The Palestinian resistance against the Israeli occupation is different in spirit from the European resistance against fascism and Nazism also in that Palestinian collaboration with Israel is not a statistically relevant phenomenon. Unlike Europeans, Palestinians understand the concepts of freedom and autonomy. Behind the performative indignation at the violence of Hamas against >>innocent civilians<< is hidden shame, because the Palestinian resistance, in contrast to European historical resistances against the occupiers, is massive, popular, principled and unbreakable. The European political class lives in full awareness of its own susceptibility to collaborative opportunism, such as it has shown over the centuries towards the hegemons on the continent. He didn't go anywhere. Today, the spirit of vassalage is embodied by the decades of servility of the whole of Europe to the agenda of the imperial center on the other side of the Atlantic.    Think I got the whole thing in the right order. Aside from formatting this is unedited from that machine translation.

The answer is racism, the same for the relative lack of collaboration in the Soviet Union. There were probably 20-30 times Ukrainians who fought with the Red Army than with the fascists, and that goes for most of the rest of the Soviet Union outside of the Baltic states. Slovenians were targetted for Germanization and many of them were relatively accepting of occupation, compared to the Serbs who were targeted for decimation.

Ardennes posted:How does a actual war against Iran even play out? The USN has one battle group in the area that is needed to just contest the Houthis, and it is actively having to pull troops back from Syria not to mention it is under pressure in Iraq and Jordan. If anything the US is slowly losing its grip even without Iran openly involved. Iran shoots missiles at every oil producing facility in the Persian Gulf and shuts down the straight of Hormuz. 32% of global oil production ceases overnight and the global economy implodes.

https://www.timesofisrael.com/liveblog_entry/netanyahu-vows-israel-wont-free-thousands-of-terrorists-amid-hostage-deal-push/ In his speech Tuesday, Netanyahu says of the ongoing war against Hamas: “This is not another round, not another exchange of strikes, not another operation.” Rather, he says, Israel is insistent on “a complete victory.” “Nothing less than that” will be acceptable, Netanyahu tells the Bnei David military academy in Eli. “I am committed to it, our fighters are committed to it, and the absolute majority of the people are committed to it. We will not settle for less than total victory.” Turning to the reports of a potential hostage deal in the context of the war, Netanyahu says that Israel “will not end this war with less than the achievement of all its goals. This means the elimination of Hamas, the return of all our hostages, and the promise that Gaza will no longer pose a threat to Israel.” “We will not remove the IDF from the Gaza Strip and we will not release thousands of terrorists,” he pledges. “None of this will happen. What will happen? Absolute victory!”

a huge oil supply shock would be a bonanza for oil companies and then all other industries could price gouge as well. which would cause a global crash pretty similar to the opec one in the 70s, likely depress most of the worlds' economies. that depression would be used by the rich to seize more power and destroy western governments even further. neoliberalism 2. afaict, usa is a net importer of oil by maybe up to 7 million barrels per day. the usa is a net exporter of natural gas, though (biggest in the world).

Holy poo poo. My union (a union of public defenders affiliated with the UAW) received a "request for information" from the House Committee on Education and the Workforce that reads straight out of HUAC. quote:On December 19, 2023, Local XXXX passed the “Resolution Calling for a Ceasefire in Gaza, an End to the Israeli Occupation of Palestine, and Support for Workers’ Political Speech” (hereinafter “Resolution”) supporting what is effectively an economic boycott of Israel. In this vote 570 voters opposed the Resolution. In addition to the positions adopted in it, the Resolution is concerning for its characterization of the October 7 terrorist attack on Israel, venturing only to refer to it as a “violent tragedy.” It is deplorable that this Resolution fails to condemn or even acknowledge Hamas’ role in the attack in any way, shape, or form.
