Hamas hostages are looking healthy

Posted on      by     

The newly-released hostages have been released back to Israel, and one thing to note is how healthy they look. Has Israel ever returned a prisoner back to Gaza not looking like a living corpse?

Tech evangelists and the opium den of convenience

Posted on      by     

The acolytes of tech saturation preach just one gospel: that of a future in which technology caters to our every need, anticipates our every desire, and absolves us of the burden of thinking, or of being human at all. Their god is simply, convenience. But its convenience as a narcotic, a convenience so total that it brings with it an eternal sleep, a living death. How else could the situation be described when machines think for you, live your life for you?

What is the point of living, if not to feel alive? What emotions could such a creature feel, what thoughts could such a creature have, so ensnared all its life in Elon Musk’s black mirror utopia? Can you really feel human while pushing a button that parks your fking car for you? Does this grandiose and opalescent future consist of nothing more than a series of button-pushes up until the moment of death as the zenith of human experience? All our western history and experience, our striving, and to end up as a data point, a puny node, in Elon’s button-pushing wet dream?

We have to wonder what we give up when we opt for allowing our car to pick our parking spot, as opposed to the apparently horrible notion of doing it our goddamn selves. There will come a day when we’ll wonder what path took us to the point that ended with a human slug staring back at us in the smart mirror, a device that’s also bitching at us to take our pills, lecturing us on our spending or eating habits, and squeezing in an ad or two before we shuffle away in self-loathing.

This is akin to the tyrannosaur evolving by choice into a chicken. This is self-enslavement. As the digital drug is refined, purified, enhanced, packaged, shipped, dealt, and consumed, the human experience endures a series of silent extinctions. We have to wonder what we’re selling in return, what this costs us. Well, everything. This viewpoint will be mainstream within a decade.

Israel never cared about getting the hostages back

Gaza has been completely wiped out. There looks to be nothing left. Israel never cared about “the hostages”, they only cared about massacring Palestinians and taking control of the land.

Remember when the IDF shot down three hostages, who were running shirtless with their hands raised? The soldiers were sent in to kill everyone, a rescue operation was never part of the genocide.

Netanyahu’s 30-year old lies no longer work

Posted on      by     

No one can seriously believe that Iran is on the verge of attacking the US, or that Israel is somehow the frontline of defense against an Islamic war against America. His support among Americans has ridden on the back of Baptist obsession with the “End Times”, the Antichrist, et cetera. Those Americans are fading away, and far fewer are buying into the ridiculous Doomsday cult of which Israel’s existence lies at the center. Even Netanyahu doesn’t even appear to believe what he’s saying, as if he can no longer convince himself of lies so vulgar.

Were it not for Israel, the US would have a stable relationship with Iran. Israel has been the primary source for regional instability, and our support of the nuclear-armed Jonestown has been the cause of so much hatred against us. Israel is a liability for America. Everyone knows it. Its past time to form policy on the basis of that reality.

Frenchman stabs random people with empty syringe as a “prank”

What would China do to this “prankster” if he were caught doing this in Beijing?  Since we know what China would do, let’s take the severity of that punishment, lessen it to around half, and implement it as standard policy. Two decades in the can would suffice. Instead, in France, he gets 6 months. Such a light sentence is a scandal, and ensures that the French public will continue to suffer at the hands of sociopathic clowns.

Charlie Kirk’s murder has already been news-cycled

Posted on      by     

Kirk’s assassination was a horror unique among high profile murders. There was an element of nihilism to it, as if none of this really matters if the worst of them can get to the best of us in the way they did with Charlie. It’s hard to believe the headlines, and it was difficult to watch what appeared to be an exploitation of his death, and it’s been far more difficult to see this horrific event left in the cloud of dust kicked up by the endless news cycle. His memorial was strange: less a solemn remembrance than an opportunistic mega rally. Maybe he’d want that, maybe not. The jubilance felt like a harbinger, a knell warning of…something. Kirk himself seemed to be lost among the pageantry. And now it feels he’s lost to us entirely, as if he simply ceased to exist, rather than ripped from this world in a horrific geyser of blood.

For one brief shining moment, it felt like Charlie’s death opened a gateway to…something more meaningful than what we’ve got. Time appeared to stop, and many of us seemed to momentarily awaken from our news-cycle stupor to demand more fundamental action. But that will has evaporated, Kirk’s death has spun through the cycle, and we’ve reverted back to the mindless consumption of 24-hour news. Do we not want more? What is the goal, what is this all for, if not for the midwifing of a new world, a gift for our children and grandchildren? Catalyzing events, even horrific ones, are the axis upon which history pivots. Did we flunk one possible destiny?
