We’re all going to be held hostage by these dumb wars until the US election is over.
They’re turning Palestine and Ukraine into forever wars now because they are convenient distractions for all of us from ever having to deal with the fact that we are zombie walking into our collective global environmental disaster.
Authoritarianism doesn’t just happen from the strong arm actions of a minority group in power.
Authoritarianism often takes hold because the majority of everyone just doesn’t say or do anything to stop it.
Of course they’ll say that … from the dawn of time, part of military strategy is never to show your opponent your worries or concerns, even if you have any.
I’m stocking up on potato chips and soda … I really don’t care what anyone does any more, I’m just gonna watch the end of the world from my front deck until someone murders me in the food riots.
It’s like we live in two different realities.
One for the US and Israel
And another for the rest of the world
I don’t think anyone believes what the US says
BSOD
Blue Soda Of Death
At this point, they should just add a Star of David to the 50 stars of the American flag
Ukraine United States is going to lose if Congress doesn’t send more aid
The fact that everyone understands that the war in Ukraine is based on American backing means that it’s a proxy war between the US and Russia.
You think?
It was a small enough projectile that hit right directly on one small truck with enough destructive power to kill the occupants but not so much that it would completely blow up the entire vehicle.
Can’t get any more precise than that … unless it was a sniper that would just shoot one person.
Killing over 30,000 people makes the world shrug their collective shoulders.
Do you think Israel causing environmental destruction would sway people to think differently?
I can’t see shit!
I’m not exactly an atheist … I believe in something in my own way without following any religion or in wanting to force any of my beliefs on anyone.
But if there is evidence for the absence of God and the folly of Christian/Jewish/Muslim (Judeo-Christian) religions … what’s happening in Palestine affirms that all these religions are just runaway historic cults that are absolutely destroying our world.
A confusing thing for me about this report is … where did this footage come from? Was this actual footage from an Israeli drone? Was it footage from someone else who filmed the strike?
I fully support the Palestinians and completely abhor what the IDF is doing but I’m completely at a loss as to where this footage came from.
Are the Israelis that callous as to freely release footage this graphic and blatantly horrific for the public to see? Or was it secretly acquired? Or is this footage from someone else in some other way?
It’s absolutely horrible that this is even happening … it’s somehow even more horrible to have footage of the actual acts happening and it’s aftermath and the world generally just not reacting to any of it.
This isn’t an Israeli problem … we’re all complicit in making this possible … and we’re all complicit in allowing it to continue.
We haven’t evolved … we’re no better than our ancestors a thousand years ago … we’re just more efficient about how terrible we can be to one another.
Hunger
That is usually the line when society will start moving towards revolution and change.
Get a little hungry? … people start getting angry
Get more hungry? … people start protesting
Face starvation? … people no longer have anything to lose and violent revolution becomes the only option. Why sit around waiting to die when you could just try fighting with a remote possibility of winning when your option is certain death?
This is also the reason why the whole western world does their very best to keep us poor but not so poor that we become hungry. As long as we’re fed, can afford some food or have access to food, we’ll let the powers that be do whatever they like.
GOP is just jealous because they have a hard time trying to pull off the same stunt in the US
Policy makers: … come on! … we need your children to replace you and your slave wages to keep our investors wealthy.
I always found this hilarious. I’m in Canada but this opinion applies to my country too.
Everyone keeps talking about evil undemocratic China, authoritarian, manipulative, immoral, untrustworthy and completely unlike our culture or ideals .
But we choose to conduct billions of dollars worth of business and transactions with them on a regular and ongoing basis.
We shouldn’t trust them … but we can buy everything we use from them.
And even if there were catastrophes and nuclear fallout somewhere, it would negatively affect life for a century or two in some areas but eventually everything would normalize again … and in a thousand years there would be a few signs that we had been here. And in a few thousand more, there would be no visible signs except for a few strange hills and humps. After that, archeologists would have to dig and study the soil to know that someone was here before.
