@riley @cwebber@octodon.social "Do the far-right thing"
@rml (I'm leaving out Christine out of this, perhaps we should even go private not to draw the ire of instance admins and users abroad). (Also, none of this is to justify anything. I want to "compare notes", so to speak, with a live person instead of propaganda outlet. If you're up to it of course.)
The problem with the Bund (and other autonomist movements (with which I somewhat agree, from the cursory glance)) is that the Bund *was*. And... yeah... around the 40s something has happened that made their position unfashionable.
I don't get the colonialism angle either. It looks like "Trail of tears" in reverse in the counterfactual event of US dissolution.
@rml Still not getting that. BLM didn't have a history of firing artillery from the school backyards into civilian areas. If anything, the IRA would be closer, although I know even less about them.
Besides, what's even the point of such an analogy? I don't know any good it would make. But it certainly will make people angry about misrepresentation, association and more people will be misled into some flawed but familiar facsimile of an understanding.
@rml @cwebber@octodon.social I don't think metaphors and analogies are appropriate here. No, the situation doesn't boil down to "imagine BLM beating up MAGAs" or anything like that.

@tonyg @cwebber@octodon.social No, certainly not. This is attempt to process the situation without getting a headsplosion and descending into "everything is so clear cut here". I can't just run along with the mainstream coverage and cheer for the designated side. People die and everything is terrible.
@andrew773 @cwebber@octodon.social There's just no easy way out of that hell. Perhaps never was. The incentives in the region are complete clusterfuck of perversity.
@be The airstrikes are called "counter battery fire". Whenever a rocket launches, the launch site gets hit in return. If by "indiscriminate" you mean that they don't discriminate between the launch sites, then yes.
Toots as he pleases.
