if it helps: that is the version of thinking about it that eugenicists and segregationists would strongly prefer and they are working overtime to make sure it's the easiest way of thinking about social hierarchy

“Israeli” ceasefires only ever apply to the other party. They’ll continue to kill whomever they want, whenever they want until they are stopped. They see themselves as occupying an altogether different moral plane than their enemies, like any colonizer.

Tweet from Quds News Network @QudsNen
BREAKING: Three Palestinians were killed after Israeli quadcopter drones opened fire on residents inspecting their homes in the Shujaiyya neighborhood, east of Gaza City.

Thinking about how much of their violence has been normalized already, how scenes that caused shockwaves 6 weeks ago are now part of the rhythm of daily life. Watched a TikTok from a daughter who has to do her parents' laundry & get their groceries because they're in hiding. This is just it now

I don’t spend a lot of time thinking about it (either out of self-preservation or the distractions inherent in our cursed information environment) but man:

It’s humiliating to live in the hegemon that built the current global order as a bunch of illiterate pissbabies smash it to pieces.

This shameful Israeli propaganda will be repeated ad nauseam.

This is why those banking on the Israeli "opposition" convince very few...

Yair Lapid, head of Israel's opposition:

"Those who demonstrated against Israel in London, Rome, Paris... were deceived by propaganda... The truth is, there was no genocide, no intentional starvation."

NEW: “Racketology and the Development of Competition.”
In this reply to Mac Parker’s “Economic Limits of Racketology,” Jack Barrett argues Horkheimer offers an expanded concept of competition + a preemptive critique of Baran & Sweezy’s theory of monopoly!

few ideas have damaged the average psyche more than ‘the customer is always right.’ it should be a little bit humiliating, being a customer. you should walk into any service transaction knowing that the other person, and not you, is in control over whether you get your treats

biden gave 14,000 mk84’s (the 2000lb bombs). almost all to possibly all of those were given in 2023. this is more than we dropped between 1999-2009 and slightly less than three times what we dropped against saddam in the first 6 weeks of OIF

i do not have a lot of tolerance for people whining that Netanyahu fucked Biden over in order to get Trump in office so he could do whatever he wanted. yeah. he absolutely did that. that was obvious before 10/7.

there is no person on Earth more incompetent as a foreign policy thinker than Biden

The Dems who have been the best on Palestine have also been the most aggressive on confronting Trump, and like you said, that's not a coincidence.

The funniest take on here today is probably "sure Netanyahu is a bad actor, but it's unclear how the US could have possibly put pressure on him". Imagine admitting you're less curious and creative than the Trump administration and framing it as nuance

the more i think about it, bari weiss running CBS is direct proof there’s not really a meritocracy in any real way under capitalism. the opposite is true in this system, failing upwards is the default the more a country becomes an oligarchy

"Instead of Columbus, we should celebrate all Italian women for being so hot." this is a genuine thought I had this morning. I'm sharing it as an act of contrition. please do not get mad at me. please do not become passionately enraged with your fiery tempers and strike me with a heavily-ringed hand

a foundational belief of the modern right is that there is no such thing as organic disagreement with their policies, it’s all directed from the top down

they just can’t conceive that ordinary people find them horrifying

Happy Garibaldi day to all who celebrate

Giuseppe Garibaldi, founding father of modern Italy. Leftist revolutionary. Presented here with sword and flag in hand after landing on a beach. In the background there are ships and the silhouettes of soldiers.

Schuringa's rise completes the Holy Trinity of internet-based philosophers whose work is just used as a cudgel against other parts of the left, alongside Rockhill and Burgis.

At least Schuringa's secondary reading recommendations are peak: christophschuringa.com/marxreadings...

every ideology has a basic question it grapples with. for example, in anarchism, it is "how do you balance individual freedom with communal solidarity". in leninism it is "how do you keep state power from becoming an end in itself". in libertarianism it is "what is the age of consent in my state"
