They get to pretend they care and are doing everything they can so libs get to pat themself on the back and say they're trying their best but are constrained by realpolitik or whatever. yeah if obama was really concerned about getting jfk’d as his reason for being a lovely neoliberal then the only responsible thing would have been to bring it on himself while being open about what was going to happen the whole time. instead he played it like a spineless self-serving worm

We all have so much comfort and treats and wealth to lose, and nobody believes that anything is to be gained from resisting. It's not hard to understand why they think that way after the squandered failures of Occupy and George Floyd, they watched a bunch of disorganized anarchist children utterly waste two significant movements and accomplish nothing other than a massive increase in police budgets nationwide. Yeah, that pretty perfectly summarizes my thoughts as well. Funny how it's Black History Month and we haven't learned poo poo from any of those leaders, sixty years on.

Like cops in the US. well it's propaganda so it isn't for convincing people of something - it's for reinforcing beliefs already held. so it doesn't need to even appear true to someone skeptical of or opposed to israel. plus israel is a moribund neoliberal state so everyone in charge of the government is just some dipshit who loves taking bribes so they're just not good at anything and they also don't care. the market has chosen hollow lies that convince no one

That's an aspect of modern ideological enforcement that I always lose discipline in remembering because I am a weird scientifically minded Communist nerd without a state apparatus to disseminate my own propaganda. I suppose I'm stuck writing from the position of speaking to obvious historical material facts and forgetting that my ostensible enemies are doing the opposite lol Very good post

https://twitter.com/BarakRavid/status/1756074190988275904 Head of CIA Bill Burns is visiting Cairo tomorrow This news is from Feb. 9th but it's very likely Burns is gonna try to strong-arm Egypt into forcibly evacuating (aka ethnic cleansing) the 1 million+ refugees in Rafah. Burns is usually the guy they send when they need some actual heavy-duty diplomacy done, since Blinken is an incompetent freak.

Burns seems smart enough to know that forcing Egypt to take refugees and enable ethnic cleansing will lead to domestic unrest in Egypt. I wonder what extra support the US is going to give Sisi to reinforce his rule.

what else does the us even have to offer its vassals at this point? ammunition and artillery shells theyve already depleted in support to israel and ukraine? rusting boats and weather-vulnerable planes? commercial guarantees over completely unsecurable freight lines? us dollars as cheap toilet paper? i feel like if the us was able to make meaningful guarantees and bribes to egypt they would have already committed those to isreal by now

I said come in! posted:Is there a good source to read that explains what is going on with Egypts economy and how they got there? i dont have a specific source to point to that describes it entirely but the basic gist is that following the 2011-2012 revolution existing economic issues got worse, they have massive debt they continue borrowing from the imf, they have subsidies on major goods but rising inflation has eclipsed those as well. its a combo of massive inflation (especially food) debt, massive population, decline in food production, and now the suez canal issues shipping issues etc and of course the general corruption, incompetence and mis-management that comes from a military dictatorship
