Every day I feel getting closer and closer to adventure-time Liberals don’t want real liberation for palestine. They have a fetish for defeat. I literally cannot have half a conversation with anyone above the age of 30 without racist chauvinism or hearing them justify imperialism.

    “There is a lid on the western mainstream media in a way it has NEVER been before… ‘Today there is no “crack in the wall”…’ 10% is empirically true, 20% is fake - narratives, 70%, and it is the most important part, is omitted news.” Jan Oberg (17 August 2021)

    That 70% includes the difference between indiscriminate attacks on shipping and the targeted blockade of Israel. He probably doesn’t even know Ansar Allah is in de facto control of Yemen. He probably won’t give a shit anyways.

      I love that quote, never seen it before.

      My father and I were actually arguing for over two and a half hours straight. As you can expect, with him lazily going through narratives from the NED, Amnesty International, “human nature,” and “authoritarianism.” All the while blaming Russians for Amerika’s racism, praising the democratic establishment, and defending the first gulf war. We hung up after he conceded on the gulf war.

      I don’t think their is a single family member of mine (other than like, my cousin) that doesn’t deserve the wall.

        Family can be frustrating as hell. My own dad seems to expect there will be some point where everyone just realizes they need to “stop being greedy” – with nothing precipitating that. He hates the idea that systemic changes will have to precede mass behavioral changes. He’ll concede that China is getting results, but believes that it’s going about it the wrong way and is thus no better than the US.

        However, people don’t deserve “walls” simply for regurgitating what’s in their media environment. My dad and your dad may say some silly things – that’s unfortunate, but not surprising given the circumstances. What matters is how they act, how they treat people day to day.

      Australian supports unlimited violence against brown people

      shocked-pikachu

      Israel has been interfering and blocking Palestinian free trade for decades. If the Houthis attacking 5 cargo ships in month warrants days of cruise missile, what does Israel deserve?

          there’s a difference between shipping containers and people though yeah? Stop bombing palestinians, and they’ll stop targeting ships.

          The US has been fucking around long enough it’s about ready to find out too tbh.
          hell, australia has fucked around since inception

            Nothing, you guys are all living in some messed up world.

            Eye for an eye sends the whole world blind.

            Israel responded too attacks that were perpetuated because of previous attacks and a history that is ongoing.

            I don’t support either side in this, but the world needs to step in when people are threatening the entire economy

            Imagine being a fan of fucking Rhodesia lmao.

            Like even a sizeable chunk of white South Africans dislike these racists that left Zimbabwe for South Africa when their stupid colony collapsed. In the same way that white Australians dislike racist white South Africans that left South Africa for Australia when apartheid ended.
