propaganda is important in that it might result in your side getting material support from an external source. with this material and personnel you can you know, win the actual war. dead gay comedy forum slapfights have a infinitesimal effect on moving the needle of public opinion, and public opinion doesn't have a whole lot to do with the bipartisan foreign policy consensus that said, I am extremely important and my posts must be respected

The Iraq protests did not stop the war and the syria obama red line demonstrations delayed a performative cruise missile strike by about a year

Saw some ML account tweet this: https://twitter.com/WaelAlRussi/status/988537052676403200 Kinda catchy but speaking of red-brown stuff, this is a case of it because I remember seeing this video first on neo-Nazi forums, and the account that made it has a lot of other retrowave music videos about various far-right figures like Richard Spencer and so on. There's one which is a retrowave version of the Cops theme but with footage of ICE agents rounding people up.

the only realistic solution outside of a socialist revolution is electing an actual dove that will use their power is CiC to stop the ongoing wars, Bernie is the left most politician with any chance of being elected in the US and is only moderately left of the neolib/neocon foreign policy consensus

Bernie isn't going to stop the drone wars, but at least he won't start any new ones. Surely.

The people ethnic cleansing are isis and the 'moderate' rebels. Assad couldn't cleanse the sunnis even if he wanted to - his brutality is a function of attempting to assert control. Its not the same thing.
