"Getting played like a fucking fiddle."
Publications ramped up this exact crap a decade ago & it's par for the course now, completely normalized.
And yet still, somehow, it's always considered an oopsie.
Perhaps it's not them getting habitually fiddled.

"We've learned nothing" & "what they don't understand is..." as go-to buzzphrases is absurd.
There's countless people who process and use knowledge in bad faith to do evil shit, enabled by an evergreen "learned performative ignorance" crowd...
They understand. It's intentional.
Failed to grasp?
There really is no limit to what anyone with power does, no matter how blatant, which will somehow get people to stop processing the constant evil decisions by these ghouls as anything other than evergreen good faith oopsies.

I urge people to watch and share this because in just 6 minutes this young Jewish girl nails down what politicians have failed to grasp for generations.
Quite brilliant.
"They cannot control you if you defy categorization. They cannot manipulate you if you are inscrutable. They cannot buy you if you are not for sale.
And they cannot break you when your love won’t bend."
"We should keep our expectations high even if we do not think they will be met, because if we do not, we will lose more than America."

So when I say “we can choose to do nothing”
that’s not to imply we should choose complacency b/c complacency will absolutely be the end of us.
Hope that’s clear.
Three years ago, I got some footage that I couldn’t get out of my mind.
It showed the first police killing captured on body-worn cameras in NY.
The NYPD didn’t want anyone to see it.
It eventually launched me on the biggest story I’ve ever done, w/ @NYTmag

What do you even say? 😐
Plenty. Vital to start by calling it intentional and avoiding any semblance of the term "politics." Won't happen, though, it'll be the usual nonsense...
National Retail Federation report last spring: “‘organized retail crime’ was responsible for half the $94.5B in store merchandise” stolen. I fell for it. In fact: about 5%. And “in most major cities, shoplifting incidents have fallen 7% since 2019.”
Hugely important retraction.
We are devastated by the UN Security Council’s failure to adopt a resolution demanding a ceasefire in Gaza—blocked by a solitary veto from the United States.
“By vetoing this resolution, the US stands alone in casting its vote against humanity.”

They have tried every which way to demonize Palestinian people, to make it seem like they deserve the violence the colonizing state is visiting upon them, but all their propaganda has exposed is the moral and ethical bankruptcy at the heart of western world order. Free Palestine.
