The Gaza genocide will be the bloody bookend of American empire

Israeli Zionism is a degenerate, blindly murderous culture that we are unable to comprehend. Through endless indoctrination, we’re unable to believe they could be so pointlessly inhuman, so vicious in an animalistic way. And yet, we bankroll this ideological malignancy, giving it room and protection to grow and wreak havoc. My prediction is that Israel’s slaughter of Gaza, and the inevitable forced removal of all Palestinians from their homeland, will become the fatal tarnish that ends American dominance. The horror that is unfolding now is being purposely ignored, but the world will have no choice but to face it one day soon, and face the inherent evil that has grown within Israeli culture. And then the entire charade collapses.

Summer soldiers have turned anti-COVIDism into a lame grift

There were people who saw the threat of COVID authoritarianism before it even emerged, but those people were heckled, ignored, abused. It’s a laugh that now, three years after the fact, an entire industry has emerged of lockdown/mask/vax critics who hock their books and go on speaking tours, because now its safe to critique the COVID response. Where was Bret three years ago? Probably cowering in fear, just like Jordan Peterson, Tucker Carlson, and everyone else. Everyone who risked their necks by speaking out will be forgotten, but intensely corny people like Bret will be remembered. This must be how all of human history plays out, and it makes me want to know the unknown renegades who risked their necks and spilled their blood so the Washingtons and Jeffersons could have their pictures minted on coins.
