I also feel like an odd one out about the Burnout games, but that's because I played Burnout Revenge instead of Burnout 3, and apparently those are different games?

the kinds of crimes they commit (and celebrate) not only require erasing the humanity of their victims - it requires the erasure of their own humanity.

As a result, there is not a shred of humanity left among zionists, so they cannot recognize the humanity in Sinwar who gave everything and more to fight on the frontlines against his oppressor through to his very last moments, even when he was sick from malnutrition and severely injured. They confuse humanity, determination, and courage for weakness.

I'm not familiar with this author/speaker, but there's a blurb from Sarah Kendzior that i've seen circling on instagram that I thought was interesting. It's about liberals accepting atrocities under Biden that they would not under Trump:

The full text is here. I think what I find interesting is that I've never really connected the psychological/social effects of COVID-19 to the on-going genocides in Gaza and Lebanon. Sarah raises an interesting parallel (one that echos Aime Cesaire's takedown of colonialism, imo) between the disregard for our shared humanity required to accept the '911 a day' COVID-related death rate to a similar disregard for humanity that allows them to accept today's genocides. It's an undoing of "civilized" values.

We're at a point now where Lebanon is being subjected to israel's Gaza Doctrine, and it seems like most people don't know or don't care.

If not a complete disregard for humanity, is it boredom? It must be more than race-hatred. Does the death and suffering become too much for our brains to make sense of it, so we stop caring?

Had millions of people not been killed by COVID, would the world be less tolerant to genocide?

From NYT:

"Vice President Kamala Harris’s advisers say the empathy she has expressed for Palestinians in Gaza should not be confused with any willingness to break from U.S. foreign policy toward Israel as a presidential candidate."

Himmler Harris echoing Genocide Joe's "Nothing will fundamentally change"

The Cradle: Netanyahu gave the orders to wipe out an entire neighborhood in southern Beirut from the UN headquarters in New York.

fucking die satanyahu

it is so enraging that the dominant narrative surrounding israel poisoning supply chains with explosive-stuffed tech, then remotely and blindly detonating these explosives and injuring thousands of civilians would immediately be paraded around by Westerners as "israel's targeted attacks against Hezbollah"

But it's not even surprising, because these are the same rotten souls who claim israel is "fighting Hamas", even though israel has killed tens of innocent thousands of Palestinians, in addition to maiming and debilitating tens of thousands more, and leaving 2 million Palestinians with no safe place to go, little food or water to consume, and little to no access to necessary healthcare.

I fucking hate it all.

i've seen headline saying he "died a hero"

he was a retired hog that got clapped at a trump rally, lmfao.

the whole ruling class crying about "political violence" after months of manufacturing consent for the ongoing genocide of Palestine is entirely about the state reclaiming their monopoly on violence, right?

Not sure if it's been shared in this thread, but some far-right coward drove up to the protest at Portland State University like they were about to do another Charlottesvillle, but opted to run away as they pepper-sprayed nearby protestors when they got scared.

Their car (featuring a custom "we the people" plate) got fucked and they've been ID'd though mashallah

Dems already condemning Iran and reasserting “israel”’s right to “self-defense”

I can only hope that one day they too get they deserve

Peak mental health culture is mayo libs being well enough to spend the first half of the week posting a ton of Zionist propaganda and vapid calls for peace and love in Israel and Palestine on Instagram, then “taking a break from social media to do self care” when Israel turns the dial up on their war crimes

Middle class between what

Lmao, this is such a good one
