it’s a sign of awful times that mis/disinformation like this spreads exponentially faster than any correction or redaction ever could.

for countless people, the cat is out of the bag regarding the shooter’s “trans ideology”, left-wing views, etc., and many of them will deny any and all information that disproves it.

and for the same reasons that this malpractice is particularly harmful, these journalists, talking heads, and outlets face little to no repercussion.

the man’s behavior was threatening and he did not obey the officers’ orders

“comply or die” is such a stupid, barbaric mentality for pigs to apply to a person in crisis

Idk, it feels like they’re achieving all of their material and political goals without - or in spite of - losing public opinion (which remains split to this day)

As much as media has lost its influence on public opinion, so has public opinion detached from government and media - they can do what they want and the masses will take it

i mean… are we really gonna pretend like someone wouldn’t wear a certain costume or get up if they wanted to kill someone and get away with it?

after October 7th and the Gaza Holocaust that followed I think the media can make anything work

I’m trying not to conspire, but wow was this a great way to wipe the headlines clean of all talk about Israel bombing Qatar - it seemed like Israel was getting more flak from the bourgeois media for that than attacking Iran

israel is back to bombing Yemen, killing at least 35

death to israel, forever

It’s the same “progressive” libs that insist over and over that Nordic countries are the best and most desirable example of “socialism” while outright denying the existence and/or success of AES…

And they never clue in that Nordic countries can only exist as they are by depriving the Global South (I.e., global majority) of the fruits of their labour

a lot of these mass shooters are self-hating social darwinists. their ideology would never drive them to kill a CEO or sitting politician

Bifo wrote about this in his book “Heroes”. IIRC, he suggested that these people and their actions are the products of a society where ‘survival of the fittest’ truisms are the norm; where violence and force are normalized and celebrated; and where people are totally lienated and deprived connection, identity, fulfillment, etc.

These conditions inform a rotten worldview of someone who hates and is hated by society, and these acts can be seen as a reactionary kind of lashing out (i.e., retaliation, taking power back) or a revolutionary ‘culling of the weak’ (i.e., killing more undesirables, gaining status in their fascist cults)

Little known bible fact: when God said “[a people] shall be lifted up like a lion” he was specifically referring to the United States’ department of defense giving the state of israel infinite weapons to be used on children and civillians

When I think about how people qualify China’s treatment of Uyghurs as genocide but not the israeli Holocaust of Palestinians, my brain feels like it is going to break.

Every smug fucking liberal tripped over themselves to condemn China of genocide for years, without any thought or consideration, or awareness of the facts of the situation. They heard a Western leader say it, so it must be true, and if you disagree, you’re a bot and a liar and a paid shill!

But when it’s a supposed “ally” doing the extermination, ethnic cleansing, slaughter, maiming, starving, systematic SA, and worse (things infinitely worse than what China was ever reliably accused of doing), they become the world’s daftest genocide experts. The thresehold for what constitutes genocide is raised high up into the stratosphere, and no amount of evidence of israel’s crimes, their full-throated intention, and ceaseless determination to cleanse Gaza and the West Bank of Palestinians is enough to even merit discussion.

Even more jokerfying, I still see people claim that the ICJ’s report from January 2024 means there is no genocide.

I continue to be puzzled by the inherent anti-semitism within zionism… This truism, according to zionists, that Jewish people cannot safely co-exist with other people in any society around the world. It’s the self-hating, self-defeating view of oneself that one hides behind narcissism.

I’ve seen countless comments (a majoriy of which are from non-Jewish people) that normalize this position… Like, lib-left or conservative zionists who claim to stand up for Jews and against antisemitism by insisting that “Jews cannot be safe here, so they need to go back to where they came from”. Of course, nevermind that these people do nothing to make Jewish people safer in their communities, and nevermind that they continue to insist that Jewish faith/identity is inseparable from the zionist nazi regime and its daily livestreams of crimes against humanity. Their ideal way of stopping anti-semitism is to move Jewish people out of site out of mind…

Reports of israel bombing Yemen from the Cradle:

Over 30 Israeli airstrikes on Yemen in around 10 minutes.

Update | Sanaa Government Health Ministry reports two killed and 35 injured in Israeli airstrikes on the capital.

death to israel

I’m reminded of Aime Cesaire:

People are surprised, they become indignant. They say: “How strange! But never mind-it’s Nazism, it will pass!” And they wait, and they hope; and they hide the truth from themselves, that it is barbarism, the supreme barbarism, the crowning barbarism that sums up all the daily barbarisms; that it is Nazism, yes, but that before they were its victims, they were its accomplices; that they tolerated that Nazism before it was inflicted on them, that they absolved it, shut their eyes to it, legitimized it, because, until then, it had been applied only to non-European peoples; that they have cultivated that Nazism, that they are responsible for it, and that before engulfing the whole edifice of Western, Christian civilization in its reddened waters, it oozes, seeps, and trickles from every crack.

Yes, it would beworthwhile to srudy clinically, in detail, the steps taken by Hitler and Hitlerism and to reveal to the very distinguished, very humanistic, very Christian bourgeois of the twentieth century that without his being aware of it, he has a Hitler inside him, that Hitler inhabits him, that Hitler is his demon, that if he rails against him, he is being inconsistent and that, at bottom, what he cannot forgive Hitler for is not the crime in itself, the crime against man, it is not the humiliation of man as such, it is the crime against the white man, the humiliation of the white man, and the fact that he applied to Europe colonialist procedures which until then had been reserved exclusively for the Arabs of Algeria, the [Indians] of India, and the “[Blacks]” of America.

… I have talked a good deal about Hitler. Because he deserves it: he makes it possible to see things on a large scale and to grasp the fact that capitalist society, at its present stage, is incapable of establishing a concept of the rights of all men, just as it has proved incapable of establishing a system of individual ethics.

On one hand, I’m relieved (for lack of a better word) that libs are recognizing just how depraved and barbaric Netanyahu is.

On the other, I’m already sick of seeing libs and others *great man-*ing Netanyahu, as if he is solely responsible for the US/israeli genocide, and as if the only lesson to be learned from the horrors of all horrors carried out by israel and the entire ‘civilized’ world with their ‘democracies’ and ‘world based orders’ is that Netanyahu was a really bad guy

Since the fuckery with Iran in June, i can’t put any stock into anything that Trump says about foreign policy

What’s happening to them is worse than getting killed.

You are a diseased person in mind and soul.

Even the most damning, counterfactual, and unsupported claims about China’s treatment of Uyghurs in Xinjiang are nothing more than a fraction of the verifiable, livestreamed barbarism that US/israel have been unleashing on Palestinians in Gaza for decades.
