Agreed. But not so sure on the:

Anyone playing into the “spike in antisemitism” smear is covering for Zionist genocide, intentionally or unintentionally

...part that you added. There has been an increase in antisemitism. Partly because Israel and Jews have simply been being talked about more, and antisemites do predictably be reactin' as a result, and partly because zionism has been being pushed HARD in tandem with the genocide, and the zionism caries with it a pretty big component of antisemitism. There is a spike in the authentic stuff. It just looks nothing like the zionist narrative is trying to make it look like. So I think it's good to be a little cautious about making this kind of generalized statement (I guess the "smear" part might help to differentiate, but...IDK, maybe it'd help to be a little more explicit?). A lot of very cool anti-zionist Jews are in this fight, and deserve the solidarity inherent in recognizing the reaction against them. Like when 30% of those arrested for pro-Palestine activism in Germany are/were Jewish....

Are they counting stuff from the establishment and mainstream news (rhetorical; of course they're not)? Because a huge portion of pro-zionist shit is absolutely antisemitic (all the times they conflate Judaism and zionism/Israel, imply Israel represents all Jews, etc.).

Meh, seems relevant enough here.

So, you can no longer pay for anything fun or interesting.

Buckle up. The revolution is nigh.

Seems the link is bad. This one appears correct.

Dunno. It's kinda all undone by the exclamation point after his title. LMAO.

Hopefully he'll just shit himself and call it a nuke.

declared a state of emergency, suspending constitutional protections....

God I love the RuLe oF LaW! At the times when protections really matter, you can just get rid of them. thumb-cop

Also, if they intensify the violence like crazy right before the "ceasefire", then they get to claim that they really are ceasefiring if they just go back to the status quo of their normal slaughter. I mean, that's how ceasefires work, right? Simply decreasing the intensity definitely equates to ceasing.

Or there's the anarchist model: ruthlessly eliminate those very positions of power. Because it's only a matter of time until you get this kind of infestation of them. Authority leads to abuse of authority. And even doing "nothing" with your authority is an abuse, because, by merely holding it, you inherently reserve for yourself the ability to do stuff.

I missed the boat, but I can't help but still respond to this comment by @s0ykaf@hexbear.net from the previous news mega:

he's an english literature graduate who decided to create a "new kind of history", based on asimov's psychohistory, after teaching a shallow as fuck course of "the entirety of human history" (lmao.) to some school age teenagers

People who understand neither history, nor psychology, nor mathematics, nor Asimov. SMDH.

(This actually semi includes Azimov himself, recursively, but that's okay because he was writing sci-fi and knew he was writing sci-fi.)

 

Pretty good documentation of U.S. meddling in Guatamala including death squads, coups, USAID, and United Fruit bullshit. Some documentation and interviewing of the resistance.

 

Dude criticizes The View (for being anti-gun), and conservatives (especially for climate denialism), and how we're all divided through propaganda in order to keep us from blaming "the politicians and the elite" in power, and talks about how bosses often try to keep us from sharing e.g. wage info with our fellow workers....

He literally has "praxis" in the name of the channel, and this particular video is called "Why You're Weak" (no, he's not talking about working out).

His solution is building community, forming relationships, and building "consensus" (even uses that term).
