Gaza Asks Us A Question About What Kind Of Future We Want To Have by Ms Caitlin Johnstone!
Listen to a reading of this article (reading by Tim Foley):
A live-streamed genocide happening right out in the open forces a civilization to start asking questions about itself.
The main reason I have focused so hard on Gaza these last six months is not so much because of how evil and horrific Israels mass atrocity is in and of itself, but because it is so intimately intertwined with all our worlds other problems, and with the future of the human species.
In a very real way, the destruction of Gaza appears to be a moment in history where humanity is collectively mulling over whether it wants to keep behaving in a crazy, self-destructive way and continue along its trajectory into dystopia and toward self-inflicted extinction, or abandon this madness and push for something better.
Whether it wants to keep buying into the lies and propaganda and tacitly consenting to the psychopathic murderousness of the powerful, or let the light of truth shine in.
A live-streamed genocide happening right out in the open forces a civilization to start asking questions about itself. If something like this can happen in plain view of everyone, and the people in charge not only do nothing but actively facilitate it, then you have to start wondering if everything about your entire nation is deranged, and if everything you have been told about the world is a lie.
If something so nakedly evil - undisguised by anything besides a thin veneer of Zionist gaslighting telling us we are not seeing what we are seeing - can be allowed to stand by those we have entrusted to run things, then it means our entire society is diseased.
Our government. Our political systems. Our media. Our education systems. Our worldviews. Our culture. It is all rotted and corrupted, right down to the core.
The future we are being shown through the window of Gaza is dark.
Dark, dark, dark, dark.
They are currently using artificial intelligence to create kill lists and to determine when its targets will be at home with their families to ensure maximum civilian deaths.
We used to worry about a dark future where humans send machines to go kill people indiscriminately, but it turns out it is actually happening the other way around - we are programming machines to tell us who to kill. The horror in our present dystopia is not so much autonomous murderbots as ethical decisions about killing being outsourced to AI.
We are being asked to accept this and move forward in this direction into the future.
We are being asked to walk into the future holding the assumption that it is fine and normal for our governments to knowingly support an unforgivable act of mass slaughter upon the inhabitants of a giant concentration camp.
We are being asked to walk into the future holding the assumption that it is fine and normal for the mass media to lie and distort and misinform the public about a matter of such urgent importance day after day, month after month.
We are being asked to walk into the future holding the assumption that it is fine and normal for a blatant genocide to take place right in front of our faces, and then move on as though nothing happened.
And right now we are collectively ruminating on the question of whether we are going to decide to do those things, or if we are going to decide to do something else instead.
The Gaza genocide is such a massive thing in and of itself - the injustice, the murder, the loss, the unfathomable suffering.
But what is happening in Gaza is also about so much more than Gaza.
It is a moment in history where humanity is thinking seriously about real revolutionary change, and weighing the options between that and continuing along this tired old blood-soaked path we have been travelling on for millennia.
Gaza proves that our entire civilization is cancerous, and that everything we have been doing has failed.
When you come across information which blows apart your worldview in your personal life, you can either collapse under the weight of cognitive dissonance until you find some way to plug yourself back into the comforting lies, or you can set about the hard work of forming a new way of looking at things.
That is the sort of moment we are being collectively offered with Gaza.
We will either accept the invitation, or continue our slide into darkness!
