the dreams of the delighting void

Harry Potter is missing heroes alltogether. The heroes would have been the plucky group of marxist muggles who go round up all the witches and wizards and tie them up in chains and sink them to the bottom of a river. What is the wizarding world if not a resource hoarding gated community, one that needs to be btfo by a squad of salt of the earth humans? Also the wizards end up generating some kind of ultimate evil wizard Hitler every generation or so, so that needs to be nipped in the bud like a motherfucker.

Also, nationalize JK Roflmaoing's bank account.

When we're talking about literature we should always remember that the difference between heroes and herpes is razor thin so watch your asses out there kids.

are people still mad that the new-to-politics and former-bartender has not developed a solution to the I/P conflict that has eluded everyone else since 1948

i think people are mad because she camaigned from the left on an issue, and then shifted rightward once she won? sounds like a reasonable thing to be suspicious of, imho

Barry Convex posted:

well, it's "complicated" in the sense that the Palestinians are oppressed in numerous ways and there's no solution that will be simply or easily implemented

what's not complicated is that the two-state solution is dead and that it's an asymmetrical conflict in which Israel has vastly more power, and that any attempt to "both sides" it or pretend that 2SS is still viable amounts to a defense of the status quo

it's "complicated" in the sense that Israel's near-fascist government is actively creating the problem and refuses to stop, and the West is entirely unwilling to exert meaningful pressure on them

basically, yeah. it's never a shadowy illuminati conspiracy, it's always people too comfortable and far removed from the struggle of the lives of the people they're elected to represent that they never have to actually think about doing so

The only possible response I could think of is to say the same thing but louder
