Shia Islam is humanity's biggest inspiration at this moment in time. Allow yourself to be inspired; these people are standing proud and resisting successfully perhaps the most brutal, vicious and totalitarian oppressive machine in history. This is grand, and epic
Westerners have been so well-trained to hate North Korea that we can literally be shown completely normal footage of everyday life, slap some eerie music over it, and everyone will go crazy.
The best approach to win US people over to the Palestinian cause is “to dismantle the idea of America in their minds… It is impossible to win over an American to our side without them opposing the idea of America.”

There are people who discovered Karbala not in books, not in lectures, but in prison cells.
One man from Gaza spoke about learning the story of Imam Hussain while imprisoned by the Zionist entity and seeing in it something deeper than history — a philosophy that breaks chains long before walls fall.
Karbala is not a call to seek suffering. It is a refusal to surrender truth for comfort, dignity for survival, or principles for permission.
The greatest prison is not concrete — it is accepting that oppression is normal, that resistance is futile, that power defines truth.
To understand Karbala is to understand that victory is not always measured by who remains standing, but by who refused to kneel.
That is why oppressed people across generations keep returning to it.
A philosophy that liberates the mind before the land.
They did the same sick deeds in Lebanon four decades ago and recently in Gaza. A more evil society does not exist today. Israel alone is the greatest intentional killer of children.
A Palestinian who lost family members in Israeli attacks in Gaza has a message for World Cup viewers:
"Enjoy the tournament. Celebrate the goals. Cheer for your teams.
But while the world watches football, Israel continues killing civilians in Gaza..."
The human species has essentially been transformed into a giant profit-generating machine for corporations.
Under capitalism, humanity exists to serve the interests of the corporation. We are all livestock; beasts of burden used to carry margin expansion forward from quarterly statement to quarterly statement. Enjoyment of life has no value other than the extent to which it can be used to increase the net worth of the shareholders.
That’s why everyone’s so unhappy. We’re not living with purpose. We’re not working together to build a better world and a better future, we’re just pulling levers to turn gears to make the arrow line go up on the graph in the conference room. It’s a hollow, pointless way for people to live.
It makes our whole culture vapid and soulless.
Music is made to be as profitable as possible, which means giving it the broadest possible appeal using formulaic song structure calculated to cause a chemical response in the largest number of human brains.
Movies are designed to draw the largest possible box office revenue at the lowest possible risk to studios and investors, often by just rehashing a movie that’s already proven successful in the past or by slapping together a story about an IP with pre-existing mass appeal.
Food is made to be fast and addictive rather than nourishing.
Healthy human connection has been commodified as social media intertwines with friendships and dating apps insert themselves into the development of romantic relationships.
Human sexuality is being warped and twisted as internet porn normalizes violence and degradation for the maximum number of clicks.
Attention and engagement have been monetized, creating an information ecosystem dominated by conflict and gossip designed to appeal to our baser instincts.
Advertisement is injected into every possible corner of our waking sensory experience, with any available space where the eye might rest or the ear might listen being flooded with psychological manipulation compelling us to consume. They’ll start running commercials in our dreams the instant they have the technology to do so.
You spend eight hours at the office working to generate corporate profits, then you come home and consume products to profit other corporations. You need your beer and snacks to unwind, your streaming services and social media to distract your mind from the stress of it all, your online clothing purchase to try to feel good about yourself, and your prescription drugs to get to sleep at night. People live their entire lives like this.
And that’s those of us who are lucky enough to be living in the global north. In the global south you get wage slavery and exploitation with far more toil, far less relaxation time, and no cheap products made by impoverished workers on other continents with which to comfort yourself.
All of humanity has been roped into this mess. And for what? To make the numbers in some bank accounts increase. To get some green arrows pointing upward on the stock exchange. To enable a few billionaires to buy islands and elections.
All while destroying the biosphere we all depend on for survival.
This, we are told, is the best possible system we could possibly be living under.
I personally do not believe this is true. I personally believe we can have better. Those who benefit from this current arrangement are going to assure us it’s impossible and do everything they can to stop us from changing it, but we do have the means to reclaim the wealth, dignity and happiness that they have stolen from us.
They built this whole machine on our backs. All we need to do is stand up.
The planet's most fanatical Israel loyalists now own and control (or are about to) Paramount, CBS, TikTok, Warner Brothers, CNN: all acquired in the last two years by Netanyahu's close friend, Larry Ellison, right as public support for Israel in the US and the west collapses:
Blonde-haired, blue-eyed white people from Ukraine were celebrated for making home-made Molotov cocktails to defend their land, but the brown Arab Muslim, the Iranian, the Afghan, is far too “uncivilised” to have the right to resist. Their resistance is “barbaric” because it comes from an inherently “violent” culture.
The selective application of international law and one’s right to defend themselves from illegal occupation and colonial violence has been revealed to be a complete contradiction in the west, and is no doubt infuriating.
But we need to also understand how these “resistance” narratives are processed in communities.
These narratives do not stay on our screens. They shape how entire communities see themselves.
When Indigenous, Black, and other racialised peoples repeatedly see their histories, struggles, cultures, and resistance framed as dangerous, irrational, or inherently violent, many begin to internalise those messages.
Some distance themselves from their own identities in search of safety, acceptance, or legitimacy.
Others carry a deep, unspoken rage born from exclusion, dispossession, and the constant demand to prove their humanity.
When people are disconnected from their roots, denied dignity, and taught to be ashamed of where they come from, they will still search for belonging. It’s a basic human need to feel a sense of community.
The question is whether we create spaces that nurture healing, identity, and justice, or leave them vulnerable to finding belonging in places that exploit their pain.
People like me take great pains to avoid coming across as antisemitic in our criticisms of Israel, and then Jewish Zionists go to these events all “Yes we Jews need to be actively manipulating western institutions in order to deceive everyone and control society.”
Former CIA Agent John Stockwell: "We pumped dozens of stories about Cuban atrocities, Cuban rapists... We didn't know of a single atrocity committed by the Cubans.
It was pure, raw, false propaganda"
A Lebanese man bids farewell to his brother who got killed by zionists by reciting a very emotional traditional eulogy poetry "zajal"..
"You went and left me alone":
The killing of Muslims at a mosque upends the narratives of manufactured antisemitism: that it is the most virulent bigotry being fomented in this country, that Jews are the most endangered and that Muslims/Arabs are to blame (this one isn’t always explicit).
This is why you keep seeing references to Jewish places of worship and American Jews in coverage about a terror attack on Muslims in a mosque.
If you think about it for a moment, it really is mind boggling how stories like the “Hamas mass rape” and the “40 beheaded babies” spread unchecked like wildfire… your mind would have to be primed by so much racism to believe such crazy things without a lick of scrutiny
I truly believe America produced the worst human beings that have ever lived on this planet ever. America is like a giant psychological experiment to see how fucking bad you can make people through pure privilege, narcissism, ignorance,normalized fascism & rasicm and malice. Just an utterly depraved place filled with grotesque mockeries of humanity.
