They live in the US. They’re more CNN brained than anything but they follow shit a lot that way and get really emotional about it

They will retell and retraumatize themselves the consequences of this genocide for generations without respect to what they perpetrated and the survivors of the genocide will have moved on and healed by then.

My inlaws are not happy people this last year. I hate to play armchair psychologist or whatever but it’s like their relationship with the place is really brittle and disordered. Amber Frost had a quote somewhat recently about “joy” vs “glee”. Times like these do not evoke joy, they evoke glee. Then they’ll see an article that offers token criticism of civilian losses and despair like the cattle cars are coming.

I really don’t like a lot of the rhetoric about cultural or racial intergenerational trauma… I think it stretches concepts like family systems and epigenetics to the limit of believability. It also poisoned by the dominant narrative. Zionists are often forgiven for being overly reactive because of intergenerational trauma, but somehow this is not applicable to Russians, for example. And really, all of us living are descended almost entirely from slaves and peasants. Even the oligarchy.

The “intergenerational trauma” in this case stretches back further than WWII into what basically constitutes ancient mythology. It is an evolved system to reconstitute and consolidate power within that system. The cultural narrative there is intentionally traumatizing, as such that there is a particular disordered response to these matters. It parallels a lot of the defense mechanisms you see in personality disordered people. Black/white thinking, shame vs guilt, extreme measures to avoid shame.

I really hate the word gaslighting, everywhere I go on the Internet that’s geared towards women my age it’s gaslighting this or gaslighting that.

But this really is gaslighting at this point. I can’t even untangle it all. I have no way of explaining it all to somebody who hasn’t been following this shit. I feel like I’d sound like a “crazy ex girlfriend”.

Sometimes it really does feel like I’m going crazy. And maybe it’s supposed to make me feel like that so I feel powerless or something. But when a 37 year old suburban woman spends a good percentage of her time fantasizing about building an RPG in her garage, there’s got to be some testosterone fueled people who have less to lose who actually might.

Anime titties used to be a decent baby leftist/ succdem space and now any geopolitical thread that gets over a certain amount of updoots gets fucking nuked in about 3 hours.

It’s the laziness that’s astounding. Like you can mass create accounts and use AI to puppet them, shit really shouldn’t be this obvious

I don’t think you get involved with a resistance movement if you are afraid to die. They would be bombing civilians either way.

Can somebody point me to any good resources about the relationship between Russia and Syria? It looks like another proxy front is going to open up there, and if NATO is starting to pressure Zelensky to reach a settlement I assume Russia can just flood it with weapons. Basically a reverse Operation Cyclone. The wartime economy has also been pretty good to Russia

I’d like to believe that, but they also like do massacres right after defeats. It isn’t rational.

On 4/13 I was checking r/Israel and they were deleting posts like this every few minutes.

Yeah when I read something like this I assume the opposite is true and they are starting to get the misinformation engine going.

I’m voting for her because she was taken off the ballot in my state in 2020 so I can assume she’s a bit of a bee in their bonnet. It’s at least a quantifiable way of expressing discontent. I’m not like, donating or volunteering or anything

Those brain chips are just another grift. In better hands it might be able to help people with neurodegenerative diseases but I wouldn’t bank on anything better than cybertruck quality to come out of the monkey murder factory.

What has been hard for me today was just seeing the reaction among American peers. I don’t think it fundamentally changes the course of events. But the rhetoric around this is just so blatant and disgusting. People that at this point are skeptical that Israel is using targeting strikes in Gaza yet it would seem they want to believe this attack was sophisticated and brilliant like a movie or something.

We really are going to go out in the worst way imaginable and I learn a little more everyday what that looks like. I don’t really know what I expected it all to look like, but as accurately as I “predict” everything that has transpired this year somehow my body still responds like it’s surprised.

I go days at work without doing anything. I’ve also been laid off multiple times in my professional life. But, on the other hand, if I keep asking for work that calls attention to the fact that I have nothing to do.

By my estimation, half of white collar jobs are like this and everyone just engages in theater about how busy they are

I was just talking to my husband about this. Like, I don’t believe there is some essential quality to any group of people or anything but it feels like Everytime a Jewish state in that place loses the religion just gets more ethnocentric and messianic and insane. Like the Talmud was spawned after Babylon, and the whole “one day we’ll have 3000 slaves” fan fiction started with the Romans.

Should I short Motorola? Looks like they just entered the Indonesia market and in the US they are most popular among 18-30 year olds

It makes their population feel in control.

I’m inclined to agree. At the very least, these particular devices must have been tampered with, because I’m sure they know of plenty of resistance fighters cell phones any haven’t exploded those yet.

The psychological implication they want to convey is that they can explode and personal device but that’s clearly not true.
