Militarised citizenry

Isn't that just the police now. I think they're classified as civil servants too, not professional soldiers.

A large flaw in Hexbear's dialogue is that it does not regard outsiders ignorance. Hexbear is mostly an insider group where established axioms and knowledge are shared as common knowledge, and therefore not entirely elaborated. It isn't a substitute for dialogue, but becomes an echo chamber - fine in its own right - and stifles understanding of right and wrong to "vibes".

We should know, intellectually and not only emotionally, why your assumption and the human rights attorney's assumption are flawed.

Your assumption should lead to a question rather than a definitive conclusion. The question should be : How do persecuted groups in the US going to suffer under Biden & Harris?

Of course, the entire premise is that voting is the most important and sometimes sole act of political agency that can actually change the politics of the state. Ask yourself, is that true? Has not foreign and domestic policy remained consistent among administrations and Congresses in its degradation of quality of American life for the past 50 years?

Tony Soprano energy.

This really seems like Israel's self-destructing. If they do carry out this attack, I assume that Iran would just close the straight of Hormuz and bomb oil production facilities in response too.

I wonder at what point would the US consider Israel more liability than asset too.

Its propaganda is so bad though. The content it puts out might as well be made my Charlie Kirk-esque 22 year olds.

That is a fair point, but Israel is trying to get the US military officially involved, far beyond the current capacity that it is now, to overwhelm and intimidate their enemies in West Asia into compliance and submission. Israel's gambit of making the outcome of their existential crisis synonymous with US hegemonic influence is a viable strategy to ensure Israel survives the outcome of this crisis, even if it has to be on US life support.

(I guess my parent post is a plea to be "counter-Finkelstein-pilled" regarding his analysis on Gaza. )

I think the point was that the vampire, as a parasitic and predatory entity, lives only for itself and its own instinct. Confronted with the cross, or the sickle & hammer, is anathema to the vampire because those symbols symbolize love, self-sacrifice, and common humanity. Both represent the courage to find power to do what is right even among the powerlessness, even when one is powerless.

How is the West Bank attacking Israel? Aren't there more pogroms and state-sanctioned vigilante violence against the inhabitants there?

A lot of videos, articles, and academics were exclaiming this is the end of Israel. But the US is determined to see this through because any breaks are an admittance that most of the government, legislative, administrative, executive, elected, appointed, and mid level officers were complicit and enabled genocide.

This is a fight over logistics, and Israel has US resources at its disposal.

They plan to get Hamas to surrender, occupy Gaza, cleanse the rest and hide the evidence and investigators, journalists, activists will be barred from inspections. Census, forged.

Probably Will, as he seems affable and engaging even in his movie mindset. Felix being a manchild in his mid 30s really shows, but with Matt gone I've noticed he tends to put more effort and focus rathee than jusr phone it in.

I wouldn't be surprised if this is the last year of chapo though

On some level we should be aware at the depravity so that we can spread awareness of it in real world and digital interaction and proselytizing liberals to take action.

For each disillusioned liberal there are hundreds of sunk cost fallacy liberal ideologues that need to find political expression outside of voting.

There were some points in Netanyahus speech where he was visibly shaken by the protesters, by the worms in his hotel, by the effigies. His mask slipped. He came off as a right wing hysteric, which he usually disguises better.

He is making our governments openly and brazenly rule through force and violence. Liberal court mannerisms and civility are eroding and diminishing in protection of a genocidal operation.

It must be stressed that only activism and labor can save us. Not the DNC nor the courts nor the media.

Oppression and exploitation are what most people who go into federal government and politics expect, even as they rationalize it away, but genocide is a step too far for most people that it should not surprising that people would resign over it.

Despite that assessment on my part, I was surprised any resigned at all, to be honest.
