There were some shitheads at the DSA rally in times square yesterday holding up swastikas that made it very easy for politicians to disown that rally. I'm glad I didn't go.

Biden himself is an empty vessel that just takes orders and reads what is given to him. It's is his advisors that are complete lunatics.

That said, if the US does all in, it is going to potentially get real ugly for everyone.

A friend of mine is visiting Italy in a couple weeks & was expressing fear about terrorist attacks bc of Israel's actions. I told her there's probably a greater chance if she were staying in the u.s. :ohdear:

yes it's very very close to the same feeling.

the night of 9/11 me and my college roommates threw a party, because we didn't know what else to do, and we played Twisted Sister ironically all night, singing "Afghanistan's Not Gonna Take It, Anymore"

because we knew deep down that they would. that this would be yet another type of war that never ends.

I'll shift the conversation into how we both thought the Barbie movie was bad and ask if she needs help in the garden.

my extremely libby elderly parents, including my Jewish mother, are not on board at all for ethnic cleansing of Palestinians. this is something the natsec blob wants but Americans are absolutely not going for it.

I think you can see that - the tone of the fervent Israel backers in the western media is verging on panic. they know that they’re losing their audience. we don’t manufacture anything in America anymore, not even consent.

also the way some pols & celebs started pulling back their full-throated support of genocide bc they can read the public tea leaves.

The instructor then illustrated his point by asking some students to physically go to the back of class. “That’s what Israel does to Palestinians,” the teacher said, according to Greenberg.

“That was the main exchange that made students feel marginalized, attacked, and isolated,” said Greenberg.

The students who spoke to Greenberg did not push back against the instructor at the time. “The students told me clearly they were traumatized, frightened. They could not believe this was happening to them,” Greenberg said.

to me the clearest marker of the loss of control of the narrative is how panicked a lot of the consent manufacturers sound. post 9/11 there was a lot of “hell yeah let’s smash those ay-rabs.” the tone now is closer to “b-b-but you aren’t one of those ANTISEMITES who wants to DESTROY ALL JEWS, are you?!”

That's old, and trite, like a boss making sexual remarks about his secretary, and each generation that comes along is less inclined to buy it, especially if it means another war & another propaganda machine & another manufactured piece of bullshit.

The counter-reaction is what I saw my generation go thru with vietnam & various other civil-rights movements: At some point, things just lurch into the future out of sheer momentum (and survival of the species).

I thought you guys were going to be more conservative than you really are. I kind of lumped you in with 4chan and 8chan.
