From Quds News, we can see the car is clearly marked as World Central Kitchen (WCK) even from above. Check this post for the WCK statement on the attack but also have a look at how the spins & lies have already begun:

You don't need to be an expert to know a roadside bomb would have hit that car differently. Like do they think our eyes and brains don't work?

WCK had 3 cars in their convoy and have reported 7 workers total killed. Now they have suspended operations for aid delivery. Aid from every direction is being blocked and affected in the strip, israel is starving the people of Gaza and killing anyone who tries to get food or give them food. It's insane and that word doesn't feel like enough but I don't know what else to say at this point.

The world is watching, Vimes thought. If something went wrong and this stupid Leshp business started a war, it's men like these who'd be working out exactly how to deal with the winner, whoever it was. Never mind who started it, never mind how it was fought, they'd want to know how to deal with things now. They represented what people called the "international community." And like all uses of the word "community," you were never quite sure what or who it was.

Terry Pratchett, Jingo

Ambassador Zomlot on Palestine, Israel's occupation, global politics and the history of the creation of this situation, misrepresentation of the media, the hypocrisy and lack of accountability of the West at large, the poor international management of this situation

Please educate yourselves about the historical context of all of this

It is imperative we all know how it began, to understand what is happening, the lack of accountability of those in the global community who actually created this conflict, and their unwillingness to hold perpetrators accountable with the international law that was created for these exact purposes.

We must understand and acknowledge how this began, to properly understand how to stop and resolve this situation for good. To properly understand how to practically implement solutions for long term resolution.

Innocent civilians cannot pay the price for the hypocrisy and hesitancy of the global community any longer. They should never have had to.

Ambassador Zomlot spoke eloquently and incredibly effectively despite the condescending gotcha journalism approach of his interviewer.

He is concerned about actually stopping and resolving this issue.

British people never like being held accountable for their own role in international conflicts, invasions etc but it is crucial to acknowledge how this began, how this situation was created so it can be effectively resolved.

The big hesitancy block here, of course, is the international community taking responsibility for their actions and holding themselves accountable for what they created, acknowledging what it is that they created, and working to help resolve the situation properly, practically, immediately.

The very people who invented the rules of war in modernity; the very academics, intellectuals and politicians who authored the Geneva Conventions and the Universal Declaration of Human Rights; that said that we do not live in an age of ‘victor’ and ‘vanquished;’ that said “No more” and “Not again” to the wars of colonialism; the very people who said “No more” to the logic of total, unrestrained, and unfettered war, have abandoned their ideals. And what is truly shocking is that they affirmed something that Muslims suspected all along, and that is that their ideals do not include Muslims. When it comes to dealing with Muslims, they are willing to forego and forget their ideals, and put their ideals to the side.

Grim Tidings for International Communism: F1nnster Fuckery

I have long since come to the conclusion that my ass will not live to see the fruits of class struggle, this generation of proletariats is cooked. If the supposed "leftists" of this generation fall into the sheer liberalism and cracker barrel ass takes because someone who they thought was a man (and later turned out to be a part of the very group they accused them of exploiting because these stupid fucking social democrats have the situational awareness of deaf dog) did gender wrong and presented too femme without being part of the right type of class (gender is enforced as a class and exists therefore as a construct perpetuated by the capitalist class to retain the power of capital over the proletariat, if you deny this you are either a Maoist, or even worse a Dengist) to do so is fucking crazy. This is the shit that crooked ass Social Democrats like Mussolini and Chairman Gonzalo would be doing if they were bitchless crypto redditors in the year of our lord 20 24. Lenin himself would not be able to redeem your anarcracker asses.

Fanfiction and the International Audience

If I were to choose between Archive of our Own or Fanfiction.net, on the surface it’s an easy choice. AO3 is a much more user friendly experience, with less middle management required between a word document and putting it on the website. But if there is one thing FF.net has over AO3 it is metrix.

Obviously, AO3 does record how many hits a story gets. But FF.net goes into far more detail. It will show you how many individuals looked at it, how many times individuals took a look, what day and what country they are from. And if you split it into chapters, those same metrices are applied to each one. So, you can be pleasantry surprised on some days, seeing that someone has read through each chapter, and therefore the whole story. AO3 only tells me how many people have clicked on it at some point, not what chapters they read or how many times they looked at it.

Since very few people want to comment or review anymore, this is the closest thing to a measure of success in the fanfiction community that I can really grasp. My stories are not pornographic or even romantic (a bit of a disadvantage in said community) nor are they really subversive or primarily comedic. Burial of Nightmares, my Soul Calibur fanfiction, is a book adaption of Soul Calibur III and it does not really do anything particularly weird.

But seeing the international audience I have built up over the last couple of years is still encouraging. According to the metrices, most of my readers are from the US, but not exclusively. I had readers from Italy, Australia, England and even countries I never heard of, namely Bhutan. Someone in Bhutan, a neighbor to China, decided to sit down and read Burial of Nightmares the whole way through and that is really cool. I’m literally read from either side of the globe.

Of course, there are quite a number of readers who stop at the first chapter. This happens in both video games and books. If you don’t click with the story at first, you’re likely not going to finish it. But what strikes me are occassions when someone just decides to read one of the later chapters, namely the ending two. I’ve found that when someone decides to just go back to a chapter and not the whole thing, they tend to look at the ending.

So, I’m going to into spoilers a bit here, so if you are interested, read Burial of Nightmares by FrancoStrider before going further. It is on both AO3 and FF.net. While you’re at it, please comment!

But anyway! What I try to do with the ending is give hope. I wrote this during NaNoWriMo 2020, and I felt, through one of my favorite games, I needed to be uplifting. I wanted to give the kind of hope Soul Calibur III gave me when I was a teenager.

The Soul Edge is destroyed for good, Siegfried (and most of the heroes) survive, and Nightmare is turned to ash. Siegfried confronts a wounded Zasalamel and kills him. Salia forgives Siegfried and welcomes him back to their old mercenary company. Mitsurugi and Taki bury the hatchet, Sophitia brings Aeon Calcos’ ashes back to his Spartan homeland, and Kilik and company head back home.

And then we go to the modern day, with Zasalamel’s latest reincarnation. He is about to meet a world leader and mulls over the last few hundred years of human history. Despite two world wars and plagues and every evil mankind concocts, he tries to see the hopeful side of humanity to bring hope in return. Instead of the self destructive nature of his actions, he has opted to be a guide, a library of wisdom for the leadership of the world. He is no fool; wars could start from nothing. But despite this, he wants to build a foundation for future peace.

Fast forward two years after writing this, the pandemic has died down (though it has not completely gone away), but Putin decided to start another unnecessary war with Ukraine. And maybe the ending is a bit naive, and maybe we’re screwed either way. “Jumping the gun a bit,” someone might think.

But this morning, I discovered on the metrix that someone from Russia decided to read the ending one more time. Not the rest of the story, just the last chapter, after all the fighting had been done. I do not know who this reader is, but I can’t help but imagine what they are going through. This is a land where, currently, dissent is met with being thrown out a window. A land whose ruler is making every excuse to kill not only Ukraine civilians but sacrificing a whole generation of his own. And that’s not even going over the ripples this has left all over the world.

Before anyone asks: Yes, someone from Ukraine has read this story as well. At least one Russian and one Ukrainian have read the ending of this same story. Maybe they, too, play the games as teenagers. Or perhaps they are teenagers now, discovering the series through Soul Calibur VI. I’ll probably never know.

I wonder if I succeeded in giving hope. That was the whole point of this story from the first day of its rough draft. I wonder if they sought comfort during this time. Or maybe they read through the rest and never got to the last chapter until now. Either way, if I have given someone hope on the other side of the planet under oppression comfort during this time, I will say that I succeeded as a writer.

Some people may scoff at an international community. But an international community is how we view each other as human. It is how we see what we have in common and how alike we are. It is how we share stories like these and find that someone else across the world can find the same beauty.

Right now, the world is torn between the xenophobic old guard sending kids to die and the internet community sharing stories and fiction. For myself, I’d rather see a library of silly, off the wall, pornographic fanfiction entries read by the entire world than another oscar-bait war drama about bloodshed no one needed. I hope it’s that easy a choice for most of us.

I did not write this story because everything was fine. The pandemic was still going, and this was before the vaccines were released. My parents and I nearly came to blows. We had just gotten through a hopeful but painful election. I wrote because I needed a voice of hope. Not some nihilistic downer with delusions of depth or some pop singer whining about celebrity drama. I needed characters who have seen Hell and escaped. I needed to show people, especially a younger audience, that someone is mad enough to imagine a world after these woes.

And I imagine kids from Russia, Ukraine or Iran (or anywhere else for that matter) want to see past horrors as well.

I really feel like you guys should stop waiting for a "revolution" and actually try and improve the country.

"I hate the united states and I wish it didn't exist!"

I do too! But, I also understand that the "revolution" isn't going to happen any time soon and waiting for it is just being a bit too hopeful.

Even if there was a "revolution" or a "civil war" I doubt you'd actually want that to happen. Let's for one moment, imagine what a theoretical collapse of the united states would look like.

First problem: it would be a multi-sided mess.

If the united states truly had a civil war or a collapse, you wouldn't have 2 sided to this "civil war" or "revolution" it WOULD however be a collection of states that are declaring independence within short periods of time between each other.

I could imagine the most wealthy or militarized states to declare independence first, while the states with the least resources or power staying until the bitter end.

Maybe we could see the less powerful states join together after the united states is completely collapsed.

Second problem: there would be a TON of foreign influence.

imagine if you will, a powerful foreign power such as China, Influencing the smaller states.

I personally don't feel like that the more "leftist" states would be more open to Chinese and foreign influence in general. I DO believe however that a state that has little power and/or resources would be open to foreign influence.

Not only that but, the western powers internationally would most likely support the states that are the closest to the original American ideals or simply just the ones that are willing to cooperate with the west.

Third problem: there would be a significant change in power internationally.

An American collapse would leave every country that has ever been America's enemy free to do whatever they want. A lot of wars in the world would start, especially in places where the American military prevented those old enemies from doing whatever they wanted.

The former allies of the united states would be sent into a panic after the united states collapses, unstable countries that needed American support to function would be thrown into civil war.

Major foreign powers such as China would do everything they can to gain and secure their newfound power. They would also make sure that every resource and ally that was left by the united states would be taken.

In conclusion, though I dislike American ideals and much of it's geopolitical policy. I do believe that a "Revolution" would be a worse scenario.

With wars, conflicts, and other crises spreading, the stakes may be higher than ever.

Determine if the international community is still capable of marshaling coordinated, united responses to shared global problems through collective decision-making bodies such as the United Nations.
