The left is famous for using Nazi-like logic and communist-inspired double-speak to advocate for its latest lie-filled campaign to destroy Jews and Western Civilization, and “de-colonization” is their latest fake buzz-word used to explain away their support for Hamas terrorism.
But author John Hayward just unleashed a master class in explaining exactly how these terror-loving leftists are lying with this new tactic to support the murders of Jewish men, women, and children.
The thread Hayward posted is a perfect explanation of what they are actually saying when the use this fake “de-colonization” rhetoric.
This is an important and all-encompassing thread:
Palestinian terror groups are adept at manipulating the Western Left's love of oppression narratives. That's why so many academic lefties are chirping "de-colonization!" right now, and why it's important for normies to understand that de-colonization means genocide.

Oppression narratives claim that anything victims do against their oppressors is justified. Even when the victims commit an unspeakable atrocity, it's the fault of the oppressors for pushing them to such extremes. Their list of grievances is a shield against condemnation.

Oppressed victims MUST fight using asymmetrical warfare, because the oppressors command vastly superior force and greater resources. "One man's terrorist is another man's freedom fighter!" generations of campus lefties have robotically chanted.

You'll notice that oppression theology has a built-in failsafe to prevent it from being turned against the Soviets or their heirs as communist superpower, the Chinese. Notice how those manifestly oppressive regimes are NEVER the villains in oppression gospels.

This element of oppression theology works like the secret directive that prevents Robocop from arresting executives of the corporation that built him. Fashionable campus radicals currently valorizing the Hamas savages could not care less about Uyghur Muslims oppressed by China.

You see, if the Palestinian terrorists ACT like tireless freedom fighters who will never let the evil capitalist Israelis bribe them into abandoning their noble struggle, then that's what they MUST be. It's like a password that activates a computer virus.

Also, the relentless savagery of the Palestinian terror groups is key to convincing their Western apologists that Israel must make endless concessions to avoid further violence – and if they don't, the violence is THEIR fault, not the terrorists.

Leftism is totalitarian to the core. Leftists like a "resistance" group demonstrating its unshakable will to power, its refusal to stop fighting until it gets "justice." They see a reflection of their own valorized self-image as "resistance fighters" in the blood shed by Hamas.

The Resistance has nothing left to lose, while the oppressors value their comforts and treasure. The oppressor culture is weak and consumed with doubt, while the will of the Resistance is pure. Resistance fighters are driven by belief, while oppressor troops simply obey orders.

If you're shocked by the amount of support the Hamas savages are getting from the campus Left, just remember: Hamas stepped into a dreamspace for anti-capitalist liberation fighters that Communists spent generations creating, a toxic stew that simmered for decades. /end

This is all exactly right.
