Approaching A Year Of Genocide by Ms Caitlin Johnstone!
Listen to a reading of this article (reading by Tim Foley):
Everything Israel has done since October 7 are things it was doing before October 7. Raping. Torturing. Stealing. Siege warfare. Killing kids with snipers. Murdering journalists and healthcare workers. Israels actions before and since October 7 show you why October 7 happened.
Person watching October 7: Why would Hamas do such a thing??
Person watching Israels actions for the past year: Oh that is why.
I saw a quote by Chris Hedges from 2002, "Children have been shot in other conflicts I have covered, but never before have I watched as soldiers enticed children like mice into a trap and murdered them for sport."
I think huge amount of Israeli depravity hides behind westerners giving Israel the benefit of the doubt, thinking "No, no nation that my government supports could possibly be THAT evil, and if they were I would have heard about it in the news."
But Israel is that evil. Always has been.
It has been a year. You do not get to say that Biden or Harris are working tirelessly to end the destruction of Gaza. Clearly they are not.
You can say you hate the genocide but you are supporting Harris even though she will continue it.
You can say you are fine with genocide and you support Harris because you do not care if Palestinian people are being butchered at mass scale.
But what you can not say is that Harris or Biden are doing anything to stop it or slow it down. There is a year of evidence proving this false.
If you want to support the genocide lady, then do so. But you do not get to demand that I pretend you are doing something other than what you are doing just for your emotional comfort, or to coddle your self-image. That is not a thing.
You are entitled to support whatever politician you want to support, but you are not entitled to have other people let you feel nice feelings about it.
Westerners are so morally bankrupt that I often find myself saying things like "Imagine if Kamala Harris live-streamed herself murdering a puppy" because talking about her support for an active genocide of human beings in the middle east does not morally resonate with them.
Do not shoot the messenger, Harris fans. Those of us who criticize her did not force her to spend a year vocally supporting a genocide. We did not force her to rule out an arms embargo and campaign on supporting "Israels right to defend itself". We are just saying what is happening.
Trump and Harris both deserve hate, but they do not deserve any special amount of hate more than all the other managers of the United States-centralized empire. If it was not them running it would be two equally evil monsters of the same politics. Do not personalize the evils of the empire.
The most remarkable thing about Trump and Harris is how unremarkable they are. The thing that matters most about them is how little they matter. They are just mindless empire goons who can be swapped out and replaced with an ideological clone at the drop of a hat; we just watched this happen in real time with Joe Biden.
If you find yourself harboring any kind of special, seething personal hatred toward Trump or Harris as individuals, you are falling into the delusion that the evils you are seeing the empire inflict upon the world are caused by wicked individuals. This leads to the delusion that it is the individuals who are the problem rather than the empire itself and the systems which prop it up, which then leads to the delusion that all you need to do to fix the problems is change out the individuals.
It does not work that way. The candidates are not the problem. The presidents are not the problem. The empire itself is the problem. The giant globe-spanning power structure centralized around Washington,D.C. comprised of allies, assets and agreements which fights every day for complete planetary domination, and the oligarchs and government agencies who run it. That is the problem.
Do not suffer the indignity of letting them trick you into spending your political energy barking and snarling at the two puppets in the puppet show while the real people in charge construct a cage around the entire world.
The only reason to talk about this election is to highlight the fact that it does not matter and that its candidates are fake. Start talking about them like they matter and you reify the illusion.
If you can not handle me at my criticizing the political party you prefer then you do not deserve me at my criticizing the political party you despise.
