again let me reiterate, a man that was on stage accepting an oscar this month was just LYNCHED AND KIDNAPPED BY ISRAELIS and everyone isnt currently freaking out. that should scare you. if an oscar winner isnt safe, what makes you think they treat regular Palestinians any better.
"max can win tomorrow, trust the verstappen factor" THIS is the verstappen factor. max is literally giving his all to finish within the top 5, he can't do more with this car so stop acting like he's not already overperorming just because he isn't p1
Dunno how I’m supposed to give a shit about democracy when I’ve seen pictures of kids with their heads blown off by Israeli bombs every day for over a year without any Western democratic leader expressing even mild concern
Decades spent as a garrison state, generations wasted to finance security obsessions, entire country being micromanaged by the military, yet still less secure than war-torn & impoverished states in Sub-saharan Africa & the Mid East. Maybe more decades of martial law will help?
The liberal outrage and hatred for trump is largely because his lack of all pretence & decorum destroys the fairy tale of a benevolent US & reveals the thuggish empire it is. They always care more about appearance, rhetoric, and performance than actual policies and their impact.
Sorry, but Ukraine is nothing like Palestine. Palestine is a people fighting against settler colonialism. If anything, Ukraine is more like israel—a Western-backed project propped up for geopolitical interests & sustained by empire.
Popularizing this point of view helps ppl in power. Same way Fisher said ppl can sooner imagine the end of the world than the end of capitalism,, convincing ppl everyone would sell out empowers the status quo
