Ask why there’s been so much violence in the middle east these last three years and you’ll be told it’s because of October 7.
Ask why October 7 happened and you’ll be called an antisemite.
Ask what specifically transpired on that day and you’ll be called a conspiracy theorist.
"The bible is one of the most dangerous books. Because, within the book you find God himself saying: Go there, kill the chickens! Kll the goats! Kill the men! Kill the women! Even the pregnant women, cut their stomachs and throw their children into the ground. God himself is instructing."
@CodeEdison Imperialism, the Highest Stage of Capitalism.
When people begin linking abstract economic arguments to real human experiences, the statistics can suddenly feel personal. History stops looking like a map and starts looking like millions of individual lives.
@elonmusk If Fauci worked for the U.S. government, why is collective responsibility acceptable when discussing China, but not when discussing the U.S.? The virus was called the "China virus" because it came from Wuhan, yet now the discussion is framed around a single scapegoat.
@dunyasalbilim Fastest sperm wins is a myth : The sperm that fertilizes the egg is often the one that is most compatible and functionally capable at that moment, not necessarily the fastest swimmer or the physically strongest.
They taught their children to fear the word "socialism" while their government was overthrowing socialist governments across four continents.
They taught their children that democracy was their "greatest export" while their intelligence services were assassinating democratically elected leaders.
They taught their children that America had never lost a war while losing wars.
They taught their children that the market was "free" while using military force to open other countries' markets.
They taught their children that they were "the good guys" and then sent those children to places that had never been given the option of seeing them as anything else.
And the children came home broken, or did not come home, and the country called them "heroes" and moved on, and the next generation of children was taught the same things, and the cycle continued, and the people who profited from the cycle donated to the libraries and universities that produced the textbooks that kept the cycle running.
This is not a conspiracy.
This is an ecosystem.
And everyone inside an ecosystem experiences it as nature.
