the Israeli government and their supporters are trying to conflate their war crimes, ethnic cleansing, and genocide with Judaism. this is dangerous (for Jewish people), because if they succeed at this to any degree (which they materially have) it will naturally fuel antisemitism toward all Jewish people. This is a horrible horrible thing.
We all have personal responsibility to counter this, but we can't pretend it's not being pushed on an international scale.
They are intentionally drawing a hard line by saying "if you do not support us, you are antisemitic." this is not true but they are trying to make it true. this pushes people who are not antisemitic but do not support them across the line to be lumped in with actual nazis. this is a very bad thing.
Associating symbols of Judaism with genocide is a bad thing. Integrating genocidal ideology into religion is a bad thing. It does not mean the religion/ethnicity/identity is genocidal, but they are trying to make it so they are one and the same. This is a very dangerous thing.
Also just, the fact that companies are STILL trying to convince us that the workers are the ones who are hurt most by a strike... come on. Even if we didn't have a long history to tell us exactly what strikes are and what they accomplish, it wouldn't even make sense.
The workers are the ones striking. It's their choice. If it hurt them more than it benefited them, if it affected them more than it affects the companies, it wouldn't work and it wouldn't make sense as a strategy.
They can stop at any point. But they don't, because withholding labour is a strategy that has been PROVEN over and over to be effective. Because it hurts the company more than the workers, and there's nothing the company can do about it. That's literally the whole principle behind strikes.
You guys rlly don't realise how much knowledge is still not committed to the internet. I find books all the time with stuff that is impossible to find through a search engine- most people do not put their magnum opus research online for free and the more niche a skill is the less likely you are to have people who will leak those books online. (Nevermind all the books written prior to the internet that have knowledge that is not considered "relevant" enough to digitise).
Whenever people say that we r growing up with all the world's knowledge at our fingertips...it's not necessarily true. Is the amount of knowledge online potentially infinite? Yes. Is it all knowledge? No. You will be surprised at the niche things you can discover at a local archive or library.
I think that if you asked Shaggy what his gender was he'd say "you're, like, livin' in a prison of your own creation, man" and then eat a huge sandwich in one bite
Four things that are 100% true and you should think about if you haven't already:
You don't have to be a boy if you don't want to
You don't have to be a girl if you don't want to
You can be a boy if you want to
You can be a girl if you want to
This isn't a joke. This is reality. Have you considered these facts? If not, maybe take a moment to think about it. How's your gender doing? If you don't like it, it can be changed. Hell, even if you do like it, maybe you'd like something else more?
Love the contrast between the Americans’ “Apollo” and the Soviets’ “Sputnik.” You got the Americans naming their rocket after a Greek god trying to communicate the grandness and importance of this rocket. And you got the Soviets naming their rocket “fellow traveler.” Like a friend you go on an adventure with together. This rocket is our little friend lol
a concerning amount of witchblr will be like "um actually new years was stolen by europeans from the ancient god scroobus mcdoobus" and then you actually try to research scroobus mcdoobus and it turns out he was invented in the 1940s by a conspiracy theorist who powdered every meal with ketamine and thinks that queer people are reincarnated fish
As a heads up, the Western propaganda machine is going to be much worse. Now that there's confirmation that South Africa are preparing to take Britain and the United States to the International Court of Justice (ICJ) for complicity in the State of Israel’s war crimes and genocide on Gaza- we think that it's important to note that it's almost like clockwork that the propaganda machine will skyrocket with new anti-Palestinian resistance defamation and unfounded allegations levied to further hostility within our already divided communities.

It’s a no-brainer that we’ll see a sharp rise in pro-Israel propaganda, and it’s highly likely that there’ll be a crackdown on pro-Palestinian and anti-Zionist rallying. You see, the Capitalist hegemony is almost ridiculously predictable once you figure out how it functions and operates; the historical cycle of committing atrocities and subsequently excusing themselves with absurd lies of brainwashing propaganda. The United States and United Kingdom will certainly not take kindly to South Africa's intention to charge them in this international lawsuit- thus they will need a retaliation that gains more favour for them from the general public.
Expect more confounded accusations of antisemitism and Jew-hatred imposed on celebrities, organisations, journalists, even nations. Expect more fascist laws passed to silence Palestinian resistance support, and more Islamophobic fear-mongering.
Propaganda is not always easy to spot and deconstruct, so be sure to stay vigilant and think critically in context of current events. However the Imperial core are growing weaker, with such incredible numbers, millions of people, showing support to Palestine internationally- we are no longer easily fooled by their usual tactics. In the putrid face of propaganda, the Palestinian resistance persists.
