  • i don’t believe isreal is going to last forever, but i do believe that it’ll be around long enough to make its actions normalized to the point of acceptance like it’s some sort of “necessary evil” at worst or something regrettable but so entirely intellectual that i can be easily dismissed because “it was in the past” at best. examples of the latter are best demonstrated by the dismissals of reparations by the united states and south africa or the socially enforced silence of the lasting impacts of franco’s spain.

    i foresee a diet-isreal like entity replacing isreal that’s aligned w the same forces that created isreal and it still gives the palestinains the wrong end of the stick, but w a wafer thin veneer of equality; like the americans, canadians, australians & new zealanders do to their native populations today.













  • i wish there was something that can be said when democrats are in control of the congress and the presidency (again) because of trump, but still aren’t able to do anything because of a few holdouts (also again).

    we’ve seen this story play out so many times in the last half century that you’d think people would learn from it; but we don’t so the only conclusion you can draw is that not enough americans pay attention.

    i pity future generations that will have to pay the price for this mass negligence and glad that i will be gone before the brunt of it hits.



  • our oligarchy now has control over a majority of this planet compared to control roman control over the mediterranean and the decline will likewise be proportionately slow and destructive as rome’s was.

    i suspect that the next reset is going to involve whole new climate changed induced civilizations from the fallout and that’s presuming that humanity can survive another population bottleneck.

    and all simply because we keep repeating the oligarchy’s talking points to each other like they’re unassailable logic.



  • Kokov noted that the EU leadership and the authorities of European countries are ready to spend billions from their budgets at the expense of their own people. “The clearest manifestation of their cynicism and hypocrisy is the financing of hostilities [in Ukraine] from the so-called European Peace Facility. At the same time, most of these funds end up in the accounts of affiliated companies and are simply plundered by the Ukrainian leadership, their cronies, and lobbyists from the European Union,” he added.

    one of the big takeaways is how well this conflict dispels any notion that europeans are somewhat better global citizens than americans or russian and it makes me wonder if the europeans are as distraught by this unmasking as americans are about our own unmasking with trump.

    they pat themselves on the back for accepting that the system is riggable and rigging it without realizing that the oligarchy built the system to be riggable to the detriment of humanity.

    then you point this out to them and you become the oddball somehow.
