In that manner, are you actually a Leftist? Morally you support the ideas of Leftism, but oppose the only actual methods of bringing them about. It’s similar to supporting the idea of everyone becoming a millionaire overnight, if such a solution does not exist it ceases to be something to support and becomes a nice dream.
The country I was born in was born itself from genocide. The first people to arrive had worked to erase a whole people, culture and knowledge because there was land and resources to be stolen.
Women were raped, children were stolen, men were killed. Even to this day, you can’t go a year without multiple stories of disgusting abuse from the federal police against indigenous people.
The same country who stuck as many of the surviving genocided people into reservations. The same country that federally determined that those same people do not deserve clean drinking water in the reservations they were forced into. My tax dollars are funding a genocide today.
And what does Canada do? Point to China, accuse them of genocide against the Uyghur people. Hypocrisy. Absolute hypocrisy.
I refuse to fight for this country. I don’t feel free. I don’t see people feeling free. I think I must fight for the people whose land has been stolen over some imaginary borders that denies me the freedom to connect with people.
I will add though that some band chiefs do not make matters better when money given to them doesn’t make it to those who need it. They are as much to blame in modern times as much as the federal government.
I refuse to victim blame. These people were put in shitty conditions. What good examples did these people have after having so much of their people, culture and knowledge eradicated? It seems their examples came from their savage invaders.
Blame the true savages who came with murderous intent. They set the expectations. They spread their greedy culture. They made themselves the adult in the room and beat anyone who disagreed with them, including their own who saw the injustices.
I’m not victim blaming, it’s been proven even from people living on reserves that they don’t see this money come to them (sometimes this is not a absolute truth). What we need is A) build proper housing that’s safe B) provide clean drinking water (i cannot believe this is still an issue in 2024) and provide medical care and mental health support to those who need it. And we need to work with these people on the ground, not a representative. This problem needs to end once and for all, and these people need to be recognized as equals, not less.
i don’t see a necessity in the present. I am happy with the gun laws in my country although not ideal, at least people don’t have guns laying around their house or people walking around with pistols holstered on their waist other than the police who require weapons for their jobs.

i guess so. i don’t really have a political affiliation anyways
A “pacifist” who goes to war for their country is affiliated with a political ideology called nationalism
would you not defend your country if you were invaded? i’d assume most normal people would

Does the invading country have universal health care?

What you’re espousing is a textbook definition of nationalism, so there you go, now you know your ideology
Please invade the USA
i don’t condone war. i prefer diplomatic solutions.
You might want to get on that!

You can be a Leftist that opposes gun ownership in a post-revolutionary status, while recognizing its necessity in current conditions.
i don’t see a necessity in the present. I am happy with the gun laws in my country although not ideal, at least people don’t have guns laying around their house or people walking around with pistols holstered on their waist other than the police who require weapons for their jobs.
So then you tacitly support Capitalism and Imperialism, then.

police do not require weapons
The invasion is coming from inside the house.
I don’t agree with that. While it may be true in other countries, i have never felt not safe in my country.
I wasn’t talking about your personal feelings.
well sorry it’s shit for you friend.
