Napoleon going , lamenting not facing this decrepit version of Britain
welcome back!
Not very. Your expectation is the cause and effect in reverse. Israel is necessary for US dominance, so the US fabricates reasons to legitimize Israel.
The US state does not respond to democratic inputs unless the leverage is overwhelming; the right does not really have this leverage in evangelical votes to make the state support Israel; support of Israel is in fact, support of the US state. Israel is a surrogate to ensure and extend US regional dominance in the ME.
If the US does not find Israel useful and instead antagonistic to its interests, it’d excise Israeli lobbies and influences in a heartbeat.
get out of here fence sitter.
Children are largely seen as innocent and defenseless. A disproportionate amount of children have been murdered, partially due to Gaza being 50% children, and in other part because Israel deliberately targets residential areas and homes with intent to terrorize and destroy hope for Palestinians.
And that is what has become apparent since Oct 7th.
A species of aligned White supremacists that use graphs and economic vocabulary to legitimize their claim to power. e g: Techbros, lanyard professionals, econ, polisci, and business school majors.
I hope that 2024 brings good posts and cathartic discussions in good faith and proletarian revelry.
you have that, you can live with that.
It’s tragic that Zionists have put the star of David onto the flag but it’s still the symbol of Judaism and when people insist on having a burning star of David emoji it’s very distressing.
Let it go.
The chapo pod did an episode about it. Pretty creepy fun.
I loved Tales of Berseria, although that is probably because of the voice actress, Christina Vee.
RuneScape was like this. I think it was only popular because it was one of the earliest mmos in town in the aughts
Th-thank you for the read.
I’ve noticed that too. Just had to vent though.
I’ve commented on your sincereposts and appreciate your candor and humor; I’ve just kind of been surprised at having 1.5k comments so I looked back on them and noticed and recalled that the culture, trend, and site effortpost culture had a different sort of robust and insightful in comparison to 2023’s year.
I’m still grateful to this site, I only lament decline. I suppose if I were to make an analogue, it’d be the energy of a 17 year old to a 35 year old.
That is completely fair. I suppose “let’s see how it goes” has to be combined with a genuine effort about commenting- rather, analyzing and prognosticating the world around us.
Dragon Quest 11.
It was a very sweet, beautiful, and wonderful experience with sincere and simultaneously shallow and profound characters.
Veronica’s act in the conclusion of Act I of that game genuinely made me sad and tear up.
You’re not alone. The only people who buy the NYT’s bullshit are Western PMC who have a preexisting ideological kinship with Israel as a political project and extension of US dominance. As @[email protected] pointed out, reading Herzl and early Zionists works and political projects will easily debunk the article.
The article is a soothing balm, to reference that one redsails article, to these PMC’s in being okay with ethnic cleansing and apartheid.
Just some things to point out, that despite the overwhelming power and slaughter by Israel and the US, are:
There’s a downward trend of people who will believe Israel’s justification and response.
People on social media can see the way Israelis broadcast their own mockery of Palestinians with genocidal and dehumanizing fervor.
Most people support a ceasefire.
Israel supporters in the West already have institutional support but are now having to rely on overt, brazen, and active state repression against pro-Palestine protestors.
Social media broadcasts the carnage and aftermath.
There are massive demonstrations all over the world.
Tensions are escalating across MENA.
This massacre will either come to a dark conclusion in Gaza, with the expulsion of a majority of Palestinians in Gaza to the Sinai, Iraq, and Turkey, or Palestine will continue to bleed out and endure this violence at Israel’s own ruination. The longer this goes on, the longer Israel’s reputation - in tatters abroad - will be tarnished in the West that intervention and the first sprouts of liberation will manifest.

These people are worms who lead insignificant lives. Activists don’t even need to outnumber them. They just need to keep pressing.
