When the first, what, ~10(?) small trucks/day crossed the pier and didn't even make it into Gaza, it was pretty obvious to everyone the military didn't spend over $300 million to help a fucking thing. My most cynical take was this would be used by the IOF as a military asset. Being right feels shit.
Yep, they can feel sorry for indigenous people when they are all dead, but they will not lose the beachhead of manifest destiny 2.0, mid east edition without a "fight". Andrew Jackson did the trail of tears and is on the 20. In a century if they succeed, big if, Biden will be on a note.
The cultural erasure of historical ethnic cleansing is a thing that troubles me a lot.
Isn'treal and and the nazis clearly modeled themselves after Amerikkka's hunger for blood and land, which hardly anyone in the world wants to admit to, because it was successful. "Yes, daughter, it was very sad what happened to those people, but that was a long time ago and there's nothing we can do about it. (Also it was kinda their fault, too.) Now drink your corn syrup and don't think about it ever again."
The modern imperial mantra being "blood now, tears later" means this train has always had brakes that are just seen as too unprofitable to use.
I feel the same way
Even the remnants of indigenous peoples are treated like shit, both here and in places in South America, I e. Bolivia, Venezuela, etc. so how sorry do they feel even now?
If nothing else, for all that they are also a threat to humanity, I'm grateful for nuclear weapons (and if need be, even the prospect of biowarfare on the table) as a result.
The rest of humanity is now increasingly building the foundations so that they can move past the barbarism the west inflicted on them, and if the west cannot choose even the most basic humanity- if our societies cannot abandon hegemony, genocide, and exploitation, and overthrow their monstrous systems themselves- if need be, they will be wiped off the map this time around, when they try to inflict the same on others.
