Used to be in awe, terror, and confusion at how genocides in history were allowed to happen.
Now I just look at it with awe and terror. Americans' responses have cured my confusion. This is how it happened. Eat up state department lines. If not that, just ignore it outright. It's not happening to us and we can't do anything about it, right? The world just works the way it works and we totally couldn't have been organizing against this for the last 100 years. Anyways, here's a cool fucking shoe model I found. Look at this recipe! "Oh the world is so messy. Time to get back to work!"
How a group of people can be so stupid, how they can apply such racist double standards, how they can be so fucking silent and cowardly. You live in the most violent and powerful empire to ever exist. Is there no drive to make things better? Are we that jaded? I swear to God the average American can't see anything but what's 10 feet and 10 minutes in front of them. If THEIR child isn't being blown up or genocided it's not on the front of their mind.
"Civilized" society my fucking ass. Bunch of barbarians. I hope the pictures and memories of the Palestinian people haunt their memories forever when the rest come around to realize what's really going on. I hope they know exactly where they would've been during past historical events: silently on the side of the oppressor.
I have never felt this disgusted with the world and my "fellow USians" (as if I even want to identify as one anymore). This is fucking pathetic.
Don't want to be "poor me I'm so disgusted" because there's obviously real things happening to real people. Just voicing this to an audience who actually gets it.
Turns out the process of fascism isn't some mystifying thing like we are taught in schools about Nazi Germany, its literally the lives we've lead in the west. The call was coming from inside the house!
Also speaks to the power of class conflict as the supreme driver of social constructs. Trying to explain it away as "people bad" only goes so far. I know people don't really want to hurt others like this. Its entirely the system created by the bourgeoisie. At least we know we have the tools in Marxism!
Precisely. Always was taught it was like having a soldier behind my back at all times and mustache man personally taking my things. Turns out it's what you said...
You're right. But this shit is speeding up so fast, and I don't know if we have enough support in the US. Again not to be woe is me but I feel so fucking bad for who I am where I'm living what I associate with and how my country and the world is treating these people
Always have felt that way but it's just real clear now
Hey no one choses the location, family or culture we're born into. Give yourself a break. The system is rotten to the bone now and we're heading straight to a full societal collapse. Especially in the western world. Just live your life and preserve that humanity inside of you while the rest are becoming beasts.
Yeah feel pretty much the same way
