About democracy and Western values
France gathered 400 Muslim scholars and decapitated them with machetes; during the occupation of Chad in 1917.
When France entered the Algerian city of Laghouat in 1852, it killed two-thirds of its population and burned them alive in a single night.
Between 1960 and 1966, France conducted 17 nuclear tests in Algeria, resulting in an unspecified number of casualties, between 27,000 and 100,000. The effects persist to this day.
When France left Algeria in 1962, they had left more mines than the entire Algerian population of that time: 11 million mines.
France occupied Algeria for 132 years. The French exterminated one million Muslims in the first 7 years after their arrival and 1.5 million in the last 7 years before their departure.
French historian Jacques Gorky estimated that the total number of people killed by France in Algeria, from its arrival in 1830 to its departure in 1962, was 10 million Muslims. That is French historian not Arab.
France occupied Tunisia for 75 years, Algeria 132 years, Morocco 44 years and Mauritania 60 years.
When France entered Egypt during its famous campaign, French soldiers entered mosques on horseback and raped women in front of their families. They drank alcohol in the mosques and turned part into stables for their horses.
Finally, today claim Islam is a religion of terrorism. So it's western colonial imperialism who in 450 years killed befwen 500 millions and 1 billion of people.
Strange to see some people boasting about Western civilization and even defending it, forgetting all of its dark history.
This is France, remind them of their history.

You don't have a revolution in which you love your enemy.
And you don't have a revolution in which you are begging the system of exploitation to integrate you into it.
Revolutions overturn systems.
Revolutions destroy systems.

If we want to show the wealth going to shareholders from the military industrial complex, help us shape our radical financial transactions tax @GlobalJusticeUK @nickdearden75

BAE's share price jumps as Keir Starmer announces he'll increase military spending to 2.5% of GDP by 2027.
Military-industrial complex guides policy, not "national security". They fund "think tanks" to push militarism.
Meanwhile, the two-child benefit cap is still in place.

What the government can’t afford:
❌Lifting children out of poverty
❌Disability benefits
❌Compensation for WASPI women
❌Winter fuel allowance
What the government can afford: an extra £13.4 billion on the military.
Never any money for the poor. Always enough money for war.

The Guardian illustrate this typically braindead comment piece with a pic of Starmer at RAF Akrotiri on Cyprus, the international hub to support the Gaza genocide.
This is what "defence" budget is. It's a budget for imperial wars - and transfer of public funds to arms industry.
We disrupt finance, the system that drives imperialism and colonialism. @decolonialcommi

The incident in Nilgiri, Balasore district, Odisha, where tribal Christian women were tied to a tree and their faces disfigured, is highly condemnable and shameful. This area is considered a stronghold of BJP MP Pratap Sarangi. The inhumane act allegedly committed by members of certain Hindu organizations has raised serious concerns about the safety and rights of tribal minorities. This incident is a direct attack on the principles of our Constitution and human rights. We demand strict action against the perpetrators and urge that the safety of minorities be ensured.

US hegemony, including its perpetual war machine functions in US dollars. If using other currencies can weaken imperialism under late stage capitalism, that might be a good thing for humanity and peace. @nssylla

Terrified screams and panic from yet another massacre in Gaza is followed up by a second Israeli bomb that leads to burning corpses and a deadly silence. No one survived.
While the world looks away, the most documented genocide in history continues.

A little boy in Gaza crying ‘my mother’ over and over again while being comforted by another little boy. This world is so cruel and hateful. I despise everyone ‘debating’ genocide and the 76 years of occupation, apartheid and ethnic cleansing.

🔥 Watching the ICJ's historic climate case, the biggest in its 80-year history — almost 100 countries will testify to establish “the obligations of States." Incredible to remember that this began 5 years ago with the Pacific Islands students movement pledging to take ‘the world’s biggest problem to the world’s highest court’. 👇

Yes, Indians - specifically oppressed, exploited & marginalised Indians - have long been guinea pigs in #BillGates 'laboratory' as he says explicitly here. BMGF's shameless awards & plaudits to Modi & Yogi make sure they'll retain access to the laboratory! hindustantimes.com/trending/…

During their brutal assault on Vietnam, the U.S. military dumped 76 million litres of toxic chemicals across Vietnam, destroying the environment and lives alike
The US killed over two million civilians in Vietnam
No US Politician or General faced justice for these crimes
