I genuinely believe one of the easiest ways to disrupt capitalist propaganda currently is to alert people to how little they own, which is allegedly Capitalism’s sole promise. Your car, fridge, phone, game system & fucking toothbrush require lifetime subscriptions & you think this is freedom? 🤨

Some of the bottles of rice and formula and flour Egyptians threw into the sea have actually made it to Gaza - now people in Cyprus and Lebanon are joining the effort, with scientists from all over the world virtually assisting them in figuring the time and location to do so based on the currents. 💚

People may not care that covid can cause permanent damage to your brain, lungs, etc but just maybe we can get them to care if we tell them it might make their dicks floppy
Gotta say, when the studies dropped showing Covid causes erectile dysfunction… I thought people would pay attention.
When they said you should avoid Covid for months before trying to conceive? Same.
Now we see the virus persists in semen… will anyone care?

So that would be EDITED footage of the 10/7 attack that doesn't show IOF drones randomly shooting everything, Apache helicopters where pilots shot anything that moved, flame throwers that burnt everything, IOF shooting their own. There were no rapes or beheaded babies so nothing to edit out there.
