@caitoz Hi @caitoz, I've been following you for some time now, and it amazes me how your posts get more accurate and true each day. Go girl, love you! 💖
It takes some learning and insight to understand that western civilization really is the absolute worst. There can be a kind of hipster outsider tendency to judge your own society more harshly than you do others, and at first glance it can look like that's what's going on when you see western critics of the western empire denouncing the criminality of their own government and its allies much more harshly than governments like Russia, China or Iran. It's not until you've done a fair bit of research that you go, wait, okay no, we are actually quantifiably far more destructive than any other power structure on earth, by an extremely massive margin. We really are the bad guys. We really are the evil empire, and everyone slamming our side as murderous monsters are absolutely correct.
Whenever I say this I get westerners going "Oh yeah well I'd much rather live here then over there," but the fact that they immediately start babbling about where they'd prefer to live is just a symptom of how sick and twisted this civilization is. They're so cognitively and emotionally divorced from the violence and tyranny their government is inflicting upon the global south that they think the question of which countries are worse than others is a question of how pleasant it would be for them personally to live in. It's like yes asshole, it's very nice to be living in the imperial core that's receiving the benefits of mass murder and imperialist extraction, and it's less nice to live in the countries where the murder and extraction is happening. That's the entire fucking point here.
It can be nice to live in the western world, but the western world is not nice. Ours is the most savage and thuggish civilization on this planet, and it's not even close.
Last night, too many jumped to conclusions around the tragic loss of life at Al Ahli hospital.
Getting this wrong would put even more lives at risk.
Wait for the facts, report them clearly and accurately.
Cool heads must prevail.
If South Africa is serious about the Middle East situation, it should close the Israeli embassy in Pretoria IMMEDIATELY and expel all the officials and let them take the first flight out of our country.
We cannot sit back and see the atrocities continuing.
The world must now stand up and take a stand.
We're witnessing Israeli genocide of Gaza.
Civilians including children and women are being killed in their hundreds.
Supply of food, water & electricity to Gaza has been stopped.
Israel is demanding "evacuation" of over 1- million Gazans from the North to South Gaza, while bombing them along the way.

@Hi_Jack_2020@Abramjee And where exactly is your proof? And what do you think the people of Palestine, in their own land are living like prisoners is going to do, they should have thought about that.
@Abramjee I am curious about what you think Hamas thought is going to happen after they raped, tortured and eventually killed ~1000 civilians, just like that….
@Abramjee Don't see any posts from you on what happened 7/7/2023.
Is your silence a tacit approval of what HAMAS did 🤔.
You seem to have a lot to say now relating to the consequences of last week.
Who launched the first missile?
Answer: Hamas
Was it okay for them to launch missiles at Israel?
Did they think that there will be no consequences?
I'm simply posing questions, focusing on the current events rather than historical context, particularly how this war initiated just a week ago.
From my understanding and the information I've gathered, Hamas cannot be equated with an average Palestinian civilian.
Many individuals in Gaza do not support Hamas, perceiving them as a group of extremists."
🇺🇦 Ukraine has lost around 600,000 soldiers since the start of the SVO , former CIA analyst Larry Johnson said.
Due to the huge losses of personnel and the lack of aviation, the Armed Forces of Ukraine will not be able to fight for more than three to four weeks, Johnson said, reports "Ino TV".
@NUFC_HQ And I suppose you know what literally means?
used for emphasis while not being literally true.
"I was literally blown away by the response I got"
Liverpool's next 5 Premier League games:
• Aston Villa (H)
• Wolves (A)
• West Ham (H)
• Spurs (A)
• Brighton (H)
How many points do you think we'll get?
Might not be the general consensus but that looked like a very harsh red card to me. @VirgilvDijk clearly got the ball. Maybe my eyes are getting worse in my old age.
