I swear I’ve seen this movie before, tho… 🤔
Dude, you do realize you’re too black to be Tony Blair, right?
Well, today is presumably the day that the Black Communist Rebellion will save the world from Zionism, capitalism, and militarism. Very exciting. Incidentally, it is also tax day. Or, maybe, it’s just another fucking Monday. Who can say? The quantum pussy is in quiver. Let’s watch 👀

People are operating in terms of factional, short-term gains, rather than of principle, justice, or long-term stability. That’s why these situations don’t make any rational sense unless you are settled deep within one of the (powerful) factions. Whenever this pattern of thought, policy, and action occurs on a global scale, we see world wars happen. Whatever your brand of bullshit, you would do well to note this reality. Once such matrices of ill cause and effect catalyze, there is no going back.
This is really no different than previous global conflagrations, and its fronts are not limited to the Middle East. There are fronts in Asia and Eastern Europe and Africa as well, equally capable of unraveling global peace and security. What it comes down to are the imperial cores of the US, Russia, China, and Europe leveraging proxies within a global struggle, not even for the benefit of their own people or for some ideology, but for the primary benefactors of their power, their oligarchs.
You don’t need to be a scholar to understand it. Listen to western media’s ‘man on the street’ interviews with Israelis (and never hear from Iranians…). The essence of it boils down to ‘we deserve a blissful existence regardless of our actions because we have attached ourselves to this larger entity, where’s our fucking money and weapons?’ Peoples, like Israelis or Iranians, cannot find equilibrium or peace with one another under such circumstances. They exist as fanatical imperial outposts.
The imperial cores have made a farce of their own international legal framework for dealing with friction and crises (as power always does to any legal framework it controls, the law works only for power, not principle or justice). Therefore, the conflicts are expressing themselves as combative to varying degrees. There is no avoiding or changing this until the fundamentals of the system are changed.
The machine is global, does not recognize borders with regard to its perceived enemies, and feeds upon capital and life to perpetuate itself. Resistance, and the foundations for the machine’s destruction, must begin locally but must be extended globally. This international political economy is not sustainable in a dying world. It can only hasten everyone’s destruction.
Power has one enemy, being those who would dethrone it. ALL people, anywhere and everywhere, who would live justly and peacefully and sustainably have one enemy, and that is hierarchical power.

Also, totally done with Ukraine. You should have condemned the Israeli genocide of Palestinians. You have had multiple opportunities to do so. You have refused all of these for your own self-interest. None of us is free unless all of us are free. Good luck 🌻
