Only the people who have gone beyond the world can change the world. It never happened otherwise. The few whose impact was long lasting were all knowers of reality. Reach their level and then only talk of helping the world.
The most interesting but unsurprising fact about all the people posting hatred, almost none of them have a profile picture, in fact, I haven't seen one face. This is because they fear loosing their jobs and because in the end they are absolute cowards.

Look at all that white privilege 👀
At long last, the UN Human Rights Council has formally acknowledged that Hamas in Gaza carried out executions, torture, improperly used medical facilities for terror purposes, and engaged in violent abuses against women and children after October 7. The report captures only a fraction of what actually occurred, in part because documenting these crimes is extraordinarily difficult and because Gazans fear retaliation if they report anything to the UN or other investigators. The findings on Hamas were buried beneath a long section on Israeli settler abuses in the West Bank, but even so, this marks a significant shift for an international body that has long struggled to speak plainly about Hamas’s brutality in Gaza.
Most importantly, the report acknowledges but barely scratches the surface of how extensively Hamas has weaponized Gaza’s medical infrastructure, embedding fighters in hospitals, using patients as shields, and turning civilian facilities into operational hubs. The UN even notes that Doctors Without Borders evacuated non-essential staff from Nasser Hospital because Hamas was interfering with the hospital’s operations.
When I shared this information, including testimonies from Gazans who documented Hamas’s fascistic behavior inside hospitals, and photos of fighters emerging from Nasser Hospital after the ceasefire, the online “pro-Palestine” chorus had nothing to offer except accusations of Zionist collaboration, accusations of betrayal, and personal insults. This UN report is an indictment not only of Hamas, a violent extremist terror organization responsible for immense suffering, but also of every activist, journalist, and academic who chose to look away. It shows that Hamas’s crimes were so egregious, so undeniable, that even a slow, hesitant, and often ineffectual body like the UNHRC could no longer pretend not to see them.
Shame on anyone who still defends Hamas or ever believed its violence constituted “resistance” on behalf of the Palestinian people.

The sad thing is that if you ARE a liberal and you want to criticize Israel, you have to be so careful because it's hard not to become instantly associated with anti-Semitic, anti-Western, anti-intellectual trash like @AnaKasparian.
Star Trek was, at its core, competence porn: skilled people doing their jobs well & improving each other and themselves in the process.
Now it's "identity" porn: every character is most interested in showcasing how special they are, but for hardly any actual, earned reasons.
@salltweets As I was listening I was waiting/hoping he’d be supportive of JKR. You would think he would have looked into the issue, but rather he sounds so uninformed. His lack of integrity is disappointing. I still love him. From Garp to Dumbeldor. Hope he gets his head right on this.
