@drtimpearce@WAFCRob calling the greens communists is such a self-own. if you think mild social democracy is marxist revolution, you don’t know what communism is.
This actually is the end of western liberalism by the way. You can't support an openly announced final solution and continue trading on the same old lines about human rights, equality, justice. Gaza has driven a stake through the dank, rotten heart of liberal ideology
It is night again.
That means the drones are back. The sound is not a sound anymore. It is a presence, like madness humming above your head.
I am writing by the glow of my phone. My hands stink of antiseptic, salt, and something I do not name.
There are no hospitals left in the north. No wards. No beds. Not even walls. Only this place we call a clinic: a half-body, half-ghost of medicine, clinging to life like those who enter it.
And they come. They walk, some for more than thirty minutes through rubble, silence, and smoke, just for a strip of gauze, a word, a chance.
They do not come seeking healing.
They come because there is nowhere else left to bleed.
Today, a woman came. Thirty-seven years old, though she moved like she had already died twice.
Her hands, God forgive me, looked like they had been through a furnace. Cracked. Bleeding.
Eczema? Yes, eczema, I said like a fool.
But what is eczema when the sea has become your kitchen sink?
She told me she washes her clothes and dishes with seawater. And toothpaste.
No, not metaphor. Not poetry. Toothpaste. Because soap costs more than life here.
Because she lives in a tent pitched between death and the next missile.
I told her I would give her cream. I said it softly, like a lie you whisper to a child.
I wanted to scream. I wanted to grab her shoulders and cry out,
"You deserve a home. You deserve a sink. You deserve clean hands."
But my own hands are not clean.
I did not scream.
I handed her the cream and looked away.
I am no longer a doctor. I am a witness.
To the slow murder of dignity.
To a land where medicine is a cruel joke and survival is a sin.
How do you treat a body when the soul is the one bleeding?
The sea should cleanse. But here, it corrodes.
Even the sea is tired of mercy.
And God?
He must be weeping, like the rest of us.
Tonight, I will lie and imagine a world where I do not have to apologize to every patient for being human.
I will imagine a world where handing someone cream is not an act of humiliation.
But I will not sleep.
No one here really sleeps.
We only close our eyes and wait for the next scream.
#GazaGenocide
The mass execution of paramedics in Gaza is a Nazi-like atrocity that should shock the conscience of the US and force Democrats who have continued to support Israel to face up to the fact that they have been complicit in a horrific evil. End all US aid to Israel.
75 IQ country with all the nukes mobilizes its fat fuck Big Bang Theory shirt wearing SS to send random people to black sites while Real Estate Hitler & Meme Goebbels do car ads at the capitol. how is everyone not screaming 24 hours a day
People making this argument aren’t interested in class. They’re peddling apologia for the exact policies that capital pushed—laundering reactionary politics through cheap populist rhetoric. Their real goal? Divide workers, shift blame & obscure how capitalist class exploits all.
People who keep pushing this “laptop class” myth are engaged in a *profoundly anti-worker* ideological project. They want you to blame other workers instead of ruling class that forced people back into unsafe conditions. It’s a demand to look away from the real Covid class war.
Lockdowns didn’t create inequality. Capital did. Capital gutted public supports, forced workers into unsafe conditions, and treated mass death as an acceptable cost of doing business. The same forces pushing this “laptop class” narrative were fighting to end unemployment relief.
This classic shallow argument runs cover for real ways that the response to the Covid pandemic has been all out class warfare, and is the perfect example of lazy, superficial “class analysis” that ignores the basic material conditions which actually define class under capitalism.
Einstein argued that science education without a complementary humanities course of study would lead to students “who would more closely resemble a well-trained dog than a harmoniously developed person.”
