I will never forget/forgive what capital has done here
For the generation I suspect is most represented here this must be analagous to an earlier cohort watching the iraq war trample overwhelming global public opinion in 2003
to those who are feeling overwhelmed as I have often felt in the past year, please remember to take a step back when you need to, resilience is the name of the game in my view, self destruction in the face of disaster helps no one (when I say this I am also wrestling with myself, I don't mean to say this is an easy thing)
edit: please watch "No Other Land" when it becomes available to you and you feel up to it, it is about an Israeli and a Palestinian in a West Bank village called Massafer Yatta before Oct. 7 23, education is agitation & praxis
I just want to drop in a quick reminder that the majority of amerikkkans supported the iraq war when it started and only retroactively switch to opposing it. Dont let libs rewrite history they love doing that shit.
Ukraine feels more like the Iraq war vibe parallel to me: total media uniformity coming out of nowhere overnight and the average American frothing on queue before eventually beginning to get embarrassed years later when it became clear that “winning” didn’t look how they thought.
I don't really know of a modern parallel (besides maybe the obvious one) to Palestine where the entire US government committed to openly exterminating a captive population without even the pretense of popular national or international support. Just straight up “we’re going to do this no matter who you vote for, and if you don’t like it, your options are to ignore it, go to jail, or be killed.”
