PSA to my Burmese people
Please take a good look at how these Western leftists and self-proclaimed communists actually view our reality.
Look at this screenshot I caught in the wild. It’s under an article about the horrific civil war, forced conscription, and the absolute terror happening in Myanmar right now. And this so-called "communist" just comments: "Ain't reading this dogshit."
And before anyone tries to hit me with the "it’s just one person" excuse—let me stop you right there. It is NOT just one person. This is exactly how so many of them think.
I’ve watched these exact same internet "revolutionaries" bend over backwards to defend Russia and China—the literal regimes arming the Myanmar junta that is actively slaughtering our people. They either deny the arms deals exist or straight up excuse it because it fits their "anti-West" aesthetic. Our dead families are just acceptable collateral damage for their online geopolitical games.
Let me be 100% clear: the far-right are absolutely NOT our allies either. They are openly racist and despise us. But having faced direct hate and racism from both neo-Nazis and communists, I can tell you they end up doing the exact same thing. Both are just violent, authoritarian ideologies that demand you submit to their "grand theories" while stepping all over actual human lives.
The alt-right attacks us to our faces. Western communists do it indirectly. They put hammer and sickle emojis in their bios, preach about "global solidarity," and act like they’re the ultimate saviors of the oppressed. But the second a third-world tragedy doesn’t center the West or perfectly fit their rigid, outdated textbooks, the mask slips. They show their true colonizer mindset: they think they know what's best for us, and if we don't fit their narrative, our suffering doesn't matter.
They do not care about liberation. They just care about looking ideologically pure online. To them, our homes, our families, and our fight for survival is just "dogshit" to scroll past.
Stop trusting Western leftists who use our countries as theoretical talking points while ignoring our actual humanity. Neither the far-right nor these authoritarian leftists are our allies. We only have each other.
