The Never-Ending Storm

Republican, Democrat, neoliberal, neoconservative, fascist, the political inclination of the US government does not matter. The hundred-year pattern is the same. If there’s an authoritarian regime, we’re propping it up with economics or weapons. If there’s a genocide, we’re ignoring it or selling the weapons or providing the political support that facilitates it, as with Israel / Palestine. If there’s a resolution for global reform or justice, we oppose it.

The only reason they helped Ukraine was to counter another rival power and because people hoped it might lead to some weapon sales. And because enough people of conscience made a whole lot of noise about it. America doesn’t win wars. It fights wars, first-hand or by proxy, perpetually, because that is what the entire society is designed to do. That’s how our economics runs. That’s how our politics runs. America is Sparta, not Athens.

And here in the land so many people around the world have seen in Hollywood’s film and TV, there are a million green zones and a million Gaza strips. When we finally managed to ban identity apartheid, they replaced it with economic apartheid. Those ideas that American politicians and security officials telegraph are not based in reality. Our only practiced value, here, is cannibalism, of each other, of the reformative state, and of anyone else in the world who isn’t strong enough to resist it.

America doesn’t bring law to the world to save it. The law is a weapon, here, of the oligarchy and of right-wing extremists, as it is in Israel, and the American international project is, and has always been, one of shaping the political and economic landscape to recreate that stasis of perpetual decay everywhere on Earth. Don’t believe the hype. We’re just Russia or China with a prettier coat of paint and sweeter rhetoric. America cannot be counted upon to solve this or any other crisis.

The core of the problem is the United States (as it has always been for anyone on Earth who was or is not white, wealthy, useful, and quietly complicit). Internationally, it operates like an organized criminal syndicate, relying on established channels of dependence-based influence, regional nodes of violent imperial control, and an extensive military / intelligence industrial complex that is seamlessly integrated with the state. It is nothing more than capitalism’s military and spy agency.

The US, as a state and economic entity, has no practical interest in stopping Israeli ethnic cleansing. Again, the maximum economic and diplomatic pressure must be applied to the US in order to halt the ethnic cleansing of Palestinians. The world is facing a second holocaust at the hands of the Zionists, and the United States absolutely will allow that to happen in order to preserve its foothold, and its favorite henchman that does what it cannot be seen doing, in the Middle East.

Colonize, between the thighs,
sexy enough members shall rise,
rhetorically, historically, objectified,
when eating’s done go take a ride.

I said it was the Balkans and not some bullshit religious dispute like that megachurch said, but, as usual, the beautiful people here didn’t listen. No rational third-party party. Now it’s about to be a genuine region-wide shitshow 🍿. Magic star dickhead can’t control his own country, apparently, or he’s in on it and bullshitting the world (per usual). Either way, there’s always people ready to sabotage peace and progress. Them’s the ones that really need to die, in every time, in every place.

If you renege on your agreements, especially for something as trivial as domestic political clout, it will be an even worse situation for you down the road. Once you’ve betrayed a hard-won trust, there is no going back. Also, in future, and this goes for anybody, if you want to fight, find the fighters. Earn that flag that they will put over your coffin. Neither technology nor propaganda solve blood disputes. My advice? Do as you will, but tell the truth and keep your word.

The thing about bio women is, no matter how hard they strive, they will never have the pee laser. This is science. It is fact. They have the yay-and-spray, which, I mean, it’s fine, they can express their ideas around or whatever, but they will never write their names in the snows of time with precision. It is the leading cause of underpayment in the frozen north. That is why I believe the parliaments of the world should enact measures to augment bio women with equipment. Diversity wins. Always.

Good faith negotiations did what six weeks of mass murder (on the part of both sides) could not. It achieved positive results for everyone. Really makes you think about what might be possible, doesn’t it? It’s not over, but this is a very positive development. Good job, humans. 👍

It’s just sad. All of it. And we, each of us, only get this one span of years, and we’re wading in absolute shit all the way through it, in our respective places. If you’re rich, you still have to ignore it daily, and that’s a burden. If you’re broke it breaks you. If you’re seen as less than human it makes you less than human. If you’re not human, you’re fucked. If you’re in the wrong place at the wrong time, or if statistics sneaks up behind you, it kills you. It doesn’t have to be like this.

I think there are two reasons why you are all so obsessed with AI. First, you are probably tediously average, therefore you believe it will give you some advantage (it won’t, ‘cause everyone else will have it too). Second, you really like the idea of having your own god slave, a little deity in your pocket, there for your every whim. You do realize that even if it doesn’t ‘go wrong’ (it absolutely will, and not because of the robots), you are creating another ‘too big to fail’ private industry?

I logs on I checks the news. How many people did Israel harm or kill today? How many human rights were violated and international laws broken? Did they manage to destroy the orphanage to stop the Hitler baby from escaping? How many turkeys did Joe Biden pardon? Did the turkeys deserve to die? Doesn’t everyone? When is real alternative music not made by the launched nepo-babies of the moderately wealthy returning to our culture? Whose farts, specifically, cause the most climate change?

Thinking you can destroy a militant group in Gaza and end Palestinian resistance to Israeli apartheid and ethnic cleansing by allowing one side to wipe out a string of cities and displace the entire population and murder as it sees fit in perpetuity is early twentieth century thinking at its worst. It is an ideological plan, not a practical or moral one.

The war needs to be stopped, the region occupied by neutral third parties, and international criminal proceedings should begin for Israel, Hamas, and any other parties who have contributed to crimes that violate international law. Following that, Palestinians need to be granted (geographically contiguous) statehood. Only the United States is in a realistic position to realize these objectives. If it does not take these actions, it is demonstrating that it does not seek a decisive resolution.

Thinking that you can end Russian aggression in Ukraine, Eastern Europe, or West Africa by imposing sanctions on Russia, or by sending weapons to an occupied weaker combatant locked in a, now years long, World War I era trench stalemate is early twentieth century thinking at its worst. It is a strategy of political convenience, not a practical or moral one. It’s like Iran thinking it can destroy Israel by arming the various militant groups around it. Exactly the same ridiculous magical thinking.

Either Ukraine should be immediately admitted to the NATO alliance, and action should be taken to end the war peacefully and return Ukraine’s territory annexed by Russia, or a joint military campaign should be initiated to remove Russian forces from the area and remove their ability to make war in the near future. Only the United States is in a realistic position to realize these objectives. If it does not take these actions, it is demonstrating that it does not seek a decisive resolution.

The 20th century methodology of treating conflicts as something to be managed over the long term must end if the world is ever to know peace over any length of time. The great game of other peoples’ lives must end. These other places are not even the game pieces to the people making these decisions. They’re the board. It’s unethical, cruel, and counterproductive to the goals of peace and stability. The politics and strategies of wishes and hopes must be replaced by those of action, of results.

My hot take is that taking captives, even war captives, to a hospital does not a strategic operations center make (especially since it was already stated that this was done), if the video is even legitimate (if you’ll recall, the Israelis fabricated the last evidence, so, I’ll leave that one to the experts). And you would think that someone, out of the thousands of people working and being treated at the hospital, would remember. The international criminal courts will have to figure it out.

But even if there were opposition forces under there a month ago, there sure weren’t any when Israel arrived, or in any of the news coverage from within the hospital that we’ve all seen for weeks. Give Israel a little more time there, guys. If there’s no base under it they’ll build one for you and film it and the BBC will run it in between segments on sports statistics and brontosaurus time travel and currency-for-dolphins micro financing startups. This didn’t start on October 7th.
