Vaush is refuting the flawed premise that right-wing demagogues use to advocate for patriarchy, white supremacy, transphobia etc.

In leftist spaces, support for arming Ukraine should be seen as an integral part in the global fight against fascism
Russia supports far-right parties/movements in the U.S., UK, France, Italy & Germany, while arming the genocidal Janjaweed in Sudan
Really annoys me that even in more or less sane US leftist spaces, any mention of Ukraine is strenuously avoided, as if it's a fucking taboo

No. It’s more so the following trends among portions of the left 🧵
1. An assumption that the U.S. is always wrong/immoral. In reality, every nation is amoral. Sometimes it leads to good (arming Ukraine), sometimes it leads to bad (unconditional military aid to Israel)
Is it just me, or does it feel like intersectionality has broken progressivism?

3. There’s a brief mention that Portugal’s drug rehab program experienced an almost 80% decrease in funding since 2012. However, this is after almost 10 minutes of her shrieking about “CRIME, CRIME! NEEDLES BEING SHOT UP IN FRONT OF THE CHILDREN! AHH!”

4. Importantly, she doesn’t draw up the conclusion that the program is failing because of conservative “starve the beast” austerity tactics.
Rather, she comes to a nebulous conclusion of, “well, we thought this would work, but it hasn’t. Idk, guess it’s just bad 🤷♂️"

In this conflict, US interests happen to align with Ukrainian interests against Russian imperialism.
So, yes, in conflicts where the US can help an occupied people overcome imperialism, it should involve itself.

2. An obsession with indigeneity that fetishizes “rightful” claims to land
Ex. Both Jews & Palestinians are indigenous to Israel/Palestine. Israel’s apartheid govt & bombing of civilians is bad. Hamas killing/raping civilians is bad. Don’t fixate on who is a “settler” or not

3. Imposing U.S. racial dynamics onto other countries where said dynamic is nonexistent

The best of politics is incremental, procedural & tactical.
Left politics is harder than right politics. Most of the left wants to build new & more just systems. The right wants to burn shit down. The right also has more $. It’s a lot harder to be an architect than an arsonist.

The current YIMBY movement is juxtaposed to these tendencies:

So let me get this straight, the 750,000 Palestinians who in 1948 were expelled from their homes by Israeli forces were the ones who were doing the genocide all along?
At least try to make your propaganda convincing
For peace to happen, you need to accept the truth. Palestinians lost a war they started in 1948. It wasn’t land theft, they tried to genocide their Jewish neighbors and lost. War leads to tragedy, so it’s unwise to start them.
The other truth is, Palestinians will never defeat…
