I have not seen a single mainstream media outlet give this the attention it deserves.
Israel blew up an entire Lebanese town, an ancient place. It should be headline news. There’s footage of it happening.
Imagine this was your town, and you saw every building blown up by a terrorist army to prevent you from ever returning. You would at the very least expect wall to wall coverage. Instead it passes without a word.
It’s not the only town Israel has blown up. And sadly it probably won’t be the last.

My beautiful village Naqoura, destroyed by Israeli occupation forces.

Death is always lurking. We see it in violence, in the wounds of the world, in the cry of pain that rises from every corner because of the abuses that crush the weakest among us, because of the idolatry of profit that plunders the earth’s resources, because of the violence of war that kills and destroys. #Easter

@bruce_arthur That's not satire then? An organisation so corrupt to its core it has spent the last nearly 70 years lying and extorting money from US citizens?

@latestinspace So all you can muster is some blurry thin cresent of the earth? No live footage of it becoming smaller as they allegedly continue on to orbit round the moon? Instead we get a visualisation "live stream". Anybody believing this is lost.

@HealthRanger We will see the odd staged clip with accompanying footage of a pixilated lunar surface. I wonder where the astronots will be during this latest round of fakery.

Notice how they're not even going to try to fake LANDING on the moon? They're just going to claim they flew AROUND it.
I'm sure the 3D rendered videos will be very convincing... NASA is a fraud.

@mattvanswol Thou thinkest a shopping mall some decades ago to be even close to this vaunted authenticity to which thou alludest? Try to imagine living in Constantinople at its height, for instance.

I think I know why everything sucks...
...and it's because everything is fake
We are getting fake college degrees that cost 4 years and six figures that teach you fake education and get you fake jobs.
We are eating fake food, with fake ingredients, funded by fake research.
We are scrolling through fake lives, with fake relationships, who take fake, curated vacations to promote brands that make fake products.
We are voting for fake candidates, who run on fake promises, inside a fake system that was never designed to fix anything.
We are raising kids in fake schools that teach fake history, fake science, which quietly produce fake adults who can't think for themselves.
We are watching fake news, about fake crises, produced by fake journalists, for fake outrage.
We are borrowing fake money that was printed from nothing, to fund a fake economy that would collapse in an afternoon if people stopped pretending it was real.
We are buying fake organic food that's just a paid label, and drinking fake juice with two percent juice in it, and putting fake cheese on cheeseburgers that's just "cheese product" on fake burger meat.
We are donating to fake nonprofits where the moeny never makes it to the people and then funding fake foreign aid that buys real weapons to prop up fake governments.
We are going to fake therapy that teaches fake coping skills instead of telling you hard truths.
We are buying fake furniture made of fake wood that's actually compressed sawdust and glue that looks like wood, ships in fourteen boxes with instructions written in a fake language that isn't quite any language, requires tools it doesn't include, takes 4 hours to build, wobbles on day 1, and is totally destroyed in 6 months.
We are downloading fake "free" apps that charge a subscription after three days for AI features that don't work, hidden behind a paywall we didn't see, protected by a privacy policy we didn't read, buried inside Terms of Service written by lawyers specifically so we wouldn't read them, that we agreed to by tapping a button the size of a thumbnail, that gave a company we've never heard of the right to sell our data to companies we'll never hear of, to build a profile on us we'll never see, to influence decisions we'll never know were made.
IT. IS. ALL. FAKE.
And we all yearn for what was once real.
Don't you remember? Did you forget?
There was a time with a simple handshake between men was a contract.
When bread went stale because... well, that's what real bread does!
When kids played outside all day until it was dark, and nobody tracked them.
When a family could live off a single income.
When music was made by people who LIVED something real and you could feel it.
When schools was HARD... and that was the point!
When doctors knew your name and your family, they even came to your house,
When you bought something once... and it was yours forever.
When the chair your grandmother bought once lasted 70 years and she passed it onto your dad.
And now nothing is real, and that's why everything sucks.

They removed CD/DVD drives from devices.
They made physical media harder to buy and use.
They removed expandable storage from phones.
They pushed us into streaming subscriptions.
They made always-online normal.
They made unlimited internet necessary.
Then slowly raised the price of everything.
Ownership quietly became renting.

One of my contrarian takes:
Society peaked in the 80s, and it’s been in slow decline ever since.
It was the last era of widespread optimism. You can feel it in the music and movies.
“Excess meets innocence.”
The 80s also mark the end of the analog world—local economies, in-person everything, and a certain forced simplicity.
Malls, movie theaters, magazines, and BMX.
Then, beginning in the 90s, came the tidal wave of tech:
Mobile phones
The internet
Social media
AI
All incredible innovations, with lots of positives. But on the whole I think they’re *net negatives* for society.
We replaced a finite, real-world experience with an infinite, digital one.
Infinite information. Infinite comparison. Infinite distraction.
Human’s aren’t wired for that, and you can see the consequences all around us.

If you don't actively fight against it, you will be castrated by modern life.
Like a frog in a pot of boiling water, one day you'll wake up and realize everything is meh. You have no will, no mission, no drive, nothing. Even if you wanted to do something about it, you no longer have the physical or cognitive capacity to do so.
Your spirit has been systematically crushed. This manifests itself everywhere. Your hormones, your cognition, your body composition, your inner voice. This is the last man concept Nietzsche warned us about. Neurosis and nihilism is so normal its hard to think of another way.
But I assure you, there's another way. It lies on the other side of comfort. It starts with taking control of what is in your direct vicinity. Your information diet, your routine, your inner state, your body.
All it takes to regain your will to power is consistency, creativity, and testicular fortitude

Still think "Governing Takes Brains" is a great tune. One of those catchy c86 gems #McCarthy

@BowesChay I do love the irony that RUSI is a slavik term for Russians.
