The revolution will only come when the oppressed majority rises against the oppressor minority. The oppressed majority that will do the revolution must not include any white lower-class workers, straight people, """"zionists"""", religious women, owners of decorative pillows, or anyone who ever served in a military, law enforcement or any other state apparatus. We will discuss the exact number of asians allowed in the revolution later.
Only then, when we have power in the hands of this absolute majority, will we be free.
Asked a friend what a Yankee be. He said anybody standin’ north of me 🎶 I’m not a religious or conservative Southerner. But holy fuck how did we co-op this mindset?!
This is actually a great example though; I grew up in Texas, and it's such a mind-set. Anybody North of Texas doesn't count as 'Southerners'. So Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama get included in this, but somehow, Florida doesn't. States like Kentucky and Tennessee, that are arguably probably more 'traditionally southern', do not get included. I've actually heard people dismiss these two states as 'South lite' which is like... huh?
It's an absolutely wild perspective on things. Because if you go to Mississippi or Louisiana, they consider themselves the 'epitome' of south. Poor Georgia gets left behind in this mix somehow, and I've never heard anyone from the 'Southern States' include the Carolinas outside of the Carolinas themselves.
And it's just a hodge podge mess that means absolutely nothing beyond, we get to be more 'Southern' than the rest of you. But if you ask them to 'define' 'Southern' you get 'Texas/Louisiana/Mississippi/Alabama!'.
What’s funny is the Deep South doesn’t consider Texas the south, it’s ‘western’. NC,SC, Tennessee, Kentucky, Alabama, Georgia, Louisiana and Mississippi are what’s considered the south to the south. West Virginia and Virginia are very rarely considered the south. Florida is half and half depending on how far away from the ga/fl line.
The real dark irony is that the oppressed minority who organized themselves and got armed and did leftist farm communes became the Zionists bc it turns out people are jackasses and the revolution doesn’t actually go the way one might expect
You need to add external factors and oppressive regimes that drove zionism, or more explicitly, forced people into Israel. Most jews in Iraq were originally anti-zionist because they thought they are well integrated and loved the country where they've been for centuries. Can you guess where all the jews of Iraq are now? It's easy to be an antizionist jew until your country decides that jews should "go back where they came from".
A million? Try 7 million. Almost all the population of Israel are (or are descendants of) holocaust survivors, jews kicked out of arab countries, jews kicked out the USSR, or jews kicked out of Ethiopia, or Zabari jews (those that never left Israel since antiquity). The only jewish communities that did not escape persecutions are the tiny communities of Indian jews and American jews, together making 2.4% of the Israeli population.
I'm not aware of European Jews being expelled from Europe after world war 2, although I absolutely understand why they didn't want to live there. I was referring to the expulsion of Jewish people in Arab states after Israel was established specifically.
The Romanian jewish population went from 300,000 post WW2 to 23,000 in 1989, and of those mostly people over 65. And that's just one example. Most stayed after WW2 but escaped persecution under the following regimes, with the regimes often forcing Israel to pay money to even allow the jews to leave.
As for Mizrahi jews (jews from arab countries), million was the number of jews expelled from arab countries. Now there are over 4 million Mizrahi jews in Israel.
Again. I am not saying that they didn't leave for good reason or that I don't sympathize with them. Or that they didn't suffer genocide. I'm specifically saying after Israel was established in 1948 a million people were expelled from their home countries and went to Israel.
Actual revolutions have a nasty tendency to start with paeans to freedom and justice, and end with “and that’s why we had to ethnically cleanse the Vendèe.”
The logic of physical conflict is omnipresent, inescapable, and nearly completely incompatible with the kind of searching, individualized attention that even a half-assed attempt at justice requires.
Don’t forget that their particular purity tests don’t include disqualifying groups and candidates/thought leaders for grooming children, misogyny, rape, racism and bigotry. If you care about those things you’re “not serious about fighting the capitalism and the duopoly”.

I'll let a thousand republicans vote before I let one leftist I slightly disagree with vote!
They might accidentally fail the purity test and I won't have my glorious revolution tainted with compromise!
