"Israel is not just a State, it's a project. It's a settler colonial project. And I do think that we are witnessing the beginning of the end of this project. Because it rests on three pillars.

One is material, of course [...] when you use and index that looks at sustainability of state according to their material capability, Israel is doing well. [...] It does well mainly because of the United States. So this is a condition that can change.

The second pillar is the social coherence of the settler society. We know this coherence is nonexistent anymore. There is a bit of an optical illusion because of the Hamas operation of the 7th of October that created a sense of unity. But it's not going to cover up the fragmentation of the society that we have seen until the 7th of October. It seems that social coherence that is based on hatred of the Arabs and the Palestinians and doesn't have anything else in common, is not very sustainable.

And more importantly than anything else, of course, there is the legitimacy pillar. And Israel enjoys the legitimacy of western governments or governments in the global north. And therefore, there is a sense that it can still be sustainable because of the support of the elites. But it has lost the support of the civil societies.

And this is why probably it's the only state in the world that lobbies for its existence. Not for its policies, not for its better economic performance, but for its very moral justification. And it's losing that battle.

As an historian I can tell you that when projects like settler colonialism are reaching their last phase, unfortunately, this can be quite a long period. It doesn't happen in one day or two days. And the problem is, of course, that they become more brutal and ruthless in that last phase."

#watching barry with another tv and movies geek is like. you dont even understand. its so great #barry hbo #THEY DONT EVEN KNOW is the thing. they dont even know the way this will be a directorial style the show returns to

Donna Lee Parsons isn’t particularly well-known in hardcore/punk circles, but she should be. She played a pivotal role in rock history. Before she transitioned, she founded Rat Cage Records, a record label that released the Beastie Boys’ first two EPs; she signed them at their very first show. Twenty years later, after Parsons came out as trans and the band’s meteoric rise to fame, the artists quietly paid for Parson’s gender affirmation surgery. According to member Adam Horovitz, since the men knew she wouldn’t accept the money if she saw it as a charitable act, they claimed they owed her royalties from their EP Polly Wog Stew.

[...]

So if you’ve ever worn a ‘lightning bolt’ t-shirt or listened to Victim in Pain or found yourself fondly recalling a Beastie Boys show you went to, you have a transgender woman to thank for that. And we should know her story. If you call yourself a hardcore kid, Donna Lee Parsons touched your life.

what an artful form of apartheid apologia. people are lapping this shit up in the notes. Even if we set aside the titanic amount of weaponry and equipment created and built by engineers and chemists, all the mapping software that guides missiles and drones and planes created by computer scientists and geographers for a second (science that the state is very much interested in!), zionist apartheid policy, administrative policies, planning and logistics, urban planning documents, you name it - that all apparently just popped into existence one day. for someone claiming to be concerned about social science academics you sure are dismissing all of their hard work! but if you just frame every academic in Israel as a poor little individual victim being randomly attacked for no reason then it’s easy to hide what’s actually going on, which is academics as a group experiencing the harsh end of a boycott. they are being targeted specifically because they are an intellectual class of a colonial state whose genocide is being live-streamed to the world, but if you obfuscate the academy’s role in training, educating, and providing intellectual architecture for the bureaucratic classes and institutions that make up state governments, then you can frame a principled pro-Palestinian position (boycotting Israel) as misguided, stupid, overzealous, ineffectual, and most importantly, detrimental to the cause of freeing Palestine, all of which is of course so obvious to everyone but Palestinian activists. this is naked concern-trolling for the zionist project of annihilating Palestine and it is no less disgusting than any other zionist cheering on the mass murder of children

shoutout to this person who accidentally left prophetic tags on that post btw that's mostly why i was looking for it. (un)fortunately greg is fucking and it's the most interesting thing he's done in the past two seasons. bringing bridget to logan's birthday is a societally unacceptable mixing of his personal sexual life with familial-business life, and then he digs himself deeper by Having A Rummage at logan's place, while logan is of course all-seeing and all-knowing about anything that happens within his realm. however greg isn't actually punished for muddling the domains of sex and business and family because that's literally the show's whole deal, and it even elevates him in logan's eyes because he does so in a way that aligns with his ideology - delighting in being sexually 'disgusting' and framing his date as some kind of wild seductress that has to be tamed lmfao what kind of medieval gender ideology is this.

the differences in how he frames it when talking to tom and logan are interesting, as are their different reactions. greg clearly considers himself on a much more equal playing field with tom at this point to immediately brag to him about his sexual escapades. they're the disgusting brothers, regardless of how tom feels about the moniker it places them on the same level. logan wouldn't be nearly as amused if he heard the unflattering details of not getting 'rummaged to fruition', but because greg tells him about it in a way that frames him as sexually functional and trying to gain control over a wild woman, that's exactly what logan wants to hear.

tom's 'so you blamed it on her. you're so gallant' is sooo funny. oh so now the guy who pushed his wife down the stairs is going to preach to us? it's telling, though, that he still can't bring himself to fully buy into logan's sexual-dominance hierarchy. he's uncomfortable with the idea of being sexually disgusting. at the end of the day he still wants to make love to his wife. loser

anyway if this gets expanded particularly in how it affects greg's relationship with logan it could be a really fun development and add a lot of depth. it's also objectively really awful to watch. sorry!
