#self-determination
Counterpoint: we know how that generation votes in aggregate, and they keep on voting to deprive themselves as well as the rest of us. Let them have self-determination!

You fucking rube. 10-7 was a pogrom. It was butchery. It was
in no way an act of self-defense. Your rhetoric is vile.

If you need to advocate
for Palestinian statehood and self-determination, as I do, and you do it by embracing Hamas, you are
championing more generations of useless bloodshed.

"Mr Milei [a Zionist] dismissed the wishes of islanders...arguing the principle of self-determination did not apply 'since the population was implanted by the occupying power on a territory...'”

Pathetic.

Since the outset, the free software/open source movement has extolled the virtues of technological self-determination, which is to say, deciding how the computers and programs you use will work. This is often described as "scratching your own itch."

Ultimately if you see them making statements about not needing new laws or regulations because existing product liability consumer laws exist that’s a fake out. Consumer laws are a poor fit for these and the labs will take their chances in court. They want self determination without consequence.

@yes.cymru it's great news that activists from the #CelticAlliance nations are working together to promote self determination!

Zionism is the belief in Jewish self-determination and that we should be able to govern ourselves in our ancestral homeland. Why is it that you don't want Jews having self-determination? Do you support a two-state solution? That makes you a Zionism. You are very confused about what Zionism is.

This guy admits that he'll block Jews on site in his bio. The vast majority of Jews believe in Jewish self-determination. That's what Zionism is. IF YOU SUPPORT A TWO-STATE SOLUTION, MAZEL TOV, YOU'RE A ZIONIST.

Allies have a role but Indigenous leadership must remain at the center. Building our own power ensures that decisions reflect our communities, values, and futures. Self-determination is not optional.

As or constitution says. Americans have the right to self determination. No law can be made to change this. It would be unconstitutional. And democrats need to press just as hard for women’s rights and minority rights. We will all be better off when everyone is equal.

The CPF position on French imperialism was therefore entirely consistent with Lenin’s view of Russian imperialism; all nations had the right to self-determination, as long as they were determined to remain subservient to Moscow.

Civilian rule, self determination & reckoning with our histories of ethnic supremacy, internalized anti-Blackness & the afterlife of colonialism are the only way we can honor the martyrs, the generations who suffered under military rule & the revolutionaries of the last 100 years.

Forcing Americans to vote in their narrow self-interest can sometimes become such an obvious choice that the politicians who made that bed for them start wetting their own.

This is how genuinely delusional Left Communist™ actually are, yes.

Apparently, they also believed themselves to be "Leninists" but apparently have skipped all the texts where Lenin talks about colonized countries and the right to self-determination.

Feelng nostalgic for decent leadership:

The refusal to separate opposition to atrocities from the right of a people to self-determination is precisely what traps us in endless grief. I write from Gaza, where that right is not an abstraction but a daily question of survival; my pinned post holds what remains of it.

The people of the Falklands have a right to self determination, but should we really allow businesses to use that fact to profit from 1.7 billion barrels of oil? That's 730 megatons of carbon, 0.5 to 1% of our remaining carbon budget...
