The apparent aftermath (no gore, just ash and dust):
There's a blurb from Wendy Brown that strikes a similar vein, getting at the cultural hi-jacking of "democracy" during the invasion of Iraq :
"... Again, however, translated into neo-liberal terms, “democracy,” here or there, does not signify a set of independent political institutions and civic practices comprising equality, freedom, autonomy and the principle of popular sovereignty but rather, indicates only a state and subjects organized by market rationality. Indeed, democracy could even be understood as a code word for availability to this rationality; removal of the Taliban and Baath party pave the way to that availability and democracy is simply the name of the regime, conforming to neo-liberal requirements, that must replace them. When Paul Bremer, U.S.-appointed interim governor of Iraq, declared on May 26 (just weeks after the sacking of Baghdad and four days after the UN lifted economic sanctions), that Iraq was “open for business,” he made clear exactly how democracy would take shape in post-Saddam Iraq. A flood of duty-free imported goods poured into the country, finishing off many already war-damaged local Iraqi businesses. Mulitinationals tumbled over themselves to get a piece of the action in Iraq, and foreign direct investment to replace and privatize state industry was described by the corporate executives advising the Bush administration as the “answer to all of Iraq’s problems.”"
Although now, like CyborgMarx said, Global North imperial powers use "democracy" as a code word for whiteness, and according to their imperialist white supremacist logics, worthiness and humanity.

In Canada, there’s been a huge push for MAID to be expanded for people with only mental illnesses, and there are real life horror stories of people getting recommended MAID for things like treatment-resistant depression or addiction
From EyesOnSouth:
"Hezbollah unveils Kader 1 ballistic missile. The Resistance said that “at 6:30 am” it struck the Mossad command center in the neighborhoods of Tel Aviv. This cmd center is responsible for the pagers-radios terrorist attack & the assassination of Resistance leaders, Hezbollah said"
western and zionist sources say it was intercepted though. Power to the Resistance

it's hard to pick, but i really like Possessor (2020), it's a cool dystopian science fiction horror-ish movie that scratches a lot of my itches
i also rate some of the Andy Kaufman movies really high, like Synechdoche, New York (2008) and Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind (2004)
most of my favourite movies are just mindfucks about identity or memory, because that's the flavour of my mental illnesses, lol
it is so enraging that the dominant narrative surrounding israel poisoning supply chains with explosive-stuffed tech, then remotely and blindly detonating these explosives and injuring thousands of civilians would immediately be paraded around by Westerners as "israel's targeted attacks against Hezbollah"
But it's not even surprising, because these are the same rotten souls who claim israel is "fighting Hamas", even though israel has killed tens of innocent thousands of Palestinians, in addition to maiming and debilitating tens of thousands more, and leaving 2 million Palestinians with no safe place to go, little food or water to consume, and little to no access to necessary healthcare.
I fucking hate it all.
