Lamentably Undead

A One state solution would be exceptionally difficult to achieve and even harder to maintain.

It would also require the people of Western nations to force their elites to abandon support for Zionists carrying out genocide.

But it *could* achieve a last solution in a way Two state cannot.

A Two state solution is patently absurd given those who tout it most loudly as the answer insist rump Palestine would not be allowed to be armed or probably even be meaningfully autonomous.

It fundamentally would not placate Israel of give Palestinians any safety.

One state (which I have long supported) or Two state solution, the biggest barrier is that Zionism is openly genocidal and has the backing of most Western elites.

One state would face a turbo-KKK equivalent armed by the CIA, Two state would see an EU/US backed Israel seeking to regain all it "lost"

The idea that Israel cannot be (cannot become, cannot sustain as) pluralistic is a racist sleight-of-hand. There’s absolutely no reason there can’t be one integrated state EXCEPT that it would require dismantling the current system of judeosupremacist apartheid.

Endorsing a two-state solution is racism. Or, at best, it’s rooted in the sort of shallowness of thought that sustains racism.

Claim: 10 cars rammed ICE
Truth: No cars rammed ICE

Claim: She boxed ICE in
Truth: ICE boxed her in

Claim: She shot a rifle at ICE
Truth: She did not have a rifle

Claim: ICE returned fire
Truth: Only ICE fired

Claim: She drove herself to the hospital
Truth: Paramedics found her

Everything Katwala has done since the pogroms last year is damage control to try and convince people he didn't totally and utterly fuck it by pushing ~progressive patriotism~.

An person's actions can differ from their overall belief system.

E.G. Dick Cheney is a very right wing person but his love and support for his lesbian daughter is a liberal act.

In fairness to the libs it might not be racism against Link that's causing them to completely support him being banned for criticising the CEO of Bluesky for being racist.

It's entirely possible, given his support for mutual aid, that it's their racist towards Palestinians that's the cause.

Hey man, this you?

There's a really strong cultural belief that being kind is foolish, that being unpleasant and condescending to those around you is a sign of intelligence.

I get it, you're really scared that the Democrats clearly aren't doing anything to protect you from fascism and it's comfortable to just fall back into punching left.

But it's actively making things worse.

A truly universal message at the end too.

Caitlin Johnstone @caitoz Never forget October 7th 2023, that fateful day when Israelis were brutally massacred by Israeli tanks and Israeli helicopters and Israeli drones and Israeli soldiers and Israeli bullets, and also by Hamas a bit. = The Cradle.co Ex-Israeli war chief confirms issuing Hannibal Directive to kill own civilians, soldiers on 7 Oct Israeli forces used attack helicopters, drones, and tanks to kill their own civilians and soldiers while blaming the deaths on Hamas News Desk FEB 7, 2025

NEVER FORGOT OCTOBER 7th

THE DAY WHEN THE TERROR COLONY CALLED ISRAEL KILLED THE MOST JEWS ANYONE HAS KILLED SINCE THE HOLOCAUST

To serve their genocidal agenda of cleansing Palestine of Palestinians.

Sure seems like you're saying that Hamas are untermenschen.

Fair play to you, most supporters of Israel try to pretend that they have more arguments than "she made me hit her."

Let's be clear, we're seeing yet another round of liberals screeching that the left and Muslims stabbed them in the back because they can see the Democrats aren't doing anything to protect them from fascism and they're terrified.

They daren't punch upwards so they punch left for a bit of comfort.

What a naive baby I was, libs are enthusiastically defending the ban.

With some real "He failed the literacy test, of course he shouldn't be allowed to vote" energy too.

Gotta be at least a dozen transphobic Bluesky lists called "waffles" by now right?

This is linked to two other Comfortable mainstays:

1) Saying that [right] party was good in the past and [liberal] party must help save it.

2) Complaints about how anywhere without a strong right wing prescence is an "echo chamber" because it prevents Comfortables from being the Sensible "Centre"

Important update, with emails sent 9 hours apart,

Link said the alt text they gave in email isn’t him. He does not write in all lowercase .

Screenshot of text message sent just now of him replying to me.

Your reminder that credit scores in the US date to 1989. For much of their existence, race and gender were factors.

They were invented bc it had been made illegal to discriminate by race and gender in the US, so financial institutions wanted a facially neutral way to accomplish the same thing.

lol

Enjoying the implosion of the Tories? That's understandable – but completely wrong | Zoe Williams The world's most successful democratic party is in a death spiral of its own making – leaving no moderate bulwark between the moderate and truly far right, writes Zoe Williams

The line has been decided upon.

All the people who gleefully participated in the destruction of the British left (and caused our current horrors) are here to tell you the Tories are essentially actually [for Comfortables like Williams].

Zeld- FUCK.

Like when people were speculating that the mold scrubber guys were going to mean something it was assumed there was something fucked up to do with the hybrids behind one of the doors they were cleaning.

But nope, apparently the hybrids were created completely ethically with no dark secrets.

Yup.

Conditions on Earth seem pretty good for everyone in a way that they don't in say Blade Runner.

And if you're going to have unethical oligarch labs experimenting on alien creatures/people at least have it as grim as Alien Ressurection.

There's no good form of genocide.
