Reddit is part of the US military-intelligence-surveillance permanent war economy, so it reflects that perspective. Worldnews for example seems to be moderated by IOF people. A former NATO lobbyist is very high up in the company. One time Reddit let slip where their largest concentration of active users was and it was some US air force base. All dissenting views are shut down and the site gets more openly white supremacist by the day.

The nations perpetrating and supporting this should never be allowed to talk about press freedom ever again.

So the US is going to go into Gaza shock and awe style to liberate Gazans. Right?

In before the IOF retcons the 1967 attacks on Egypt as "totally a mistake guys, we didn't mean it."

Colonists and imperialists look out for each other. Palestine today looks a lot like the Americas and the global south in the eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries.

Isn'treal has an important role in destabilizing the middle east and co-developing new tech and techniques for oppression.

It doesn't hurt that US politics are heavily influenced by Christian Zionists and western European countries are terrified of doing anything that could be construed as anti-semitic.

Sort of. The US government has created the extraordinary privilege of dollar hegemony, which lets them issue money ad nauseum at the expense of the rest of the world. This privilege ends when the rest of the world stops underwriting this debt, as is slowly happening under the broad name of dedollarization.

This helps the citizens which Congress is there to help.

That's a whopping 1.3% of their annual profits. A slap on the back of the hands is probably a better deterrent.

It's not that they can't do their due diligence, it's that they do or don't want to, depending on the class of the client.

Because all bourgeois parties are effectively the same.

Social democracy is the moderate wing of fascism.

Pandering to the far-right is the only avenue open to bourgeois politicians, as turning to the left (anti-capitalist) is a non starter. All the commentators can do is say "don't do this," while not being able to offer any real alternatives.

It's not hard to understand which party is settlers committing genocide, and which party isn't.

Because the US only agreed to join the UN on the condition that they would get to veto whatever they like.

Dems were never anti-war. The US has never been anti-war. The US is a settler state just like Israel.

You think US troops will help tone down the atrocities? Have I got news for you.

Firstly, Palestinian representatives including Hamas have tried to come to the negotiating table, ever since the beginning. The response from Israel is bombing runs, artillery fire, and bad faith claims that Hamas will not negotiate.

Secondly, Palestinians do not want to exterminate anyone, they simply want to be free. The extermination/genocide thing is common myth presented by settlers who can't imagine anything but genocide, as it's how their own society has been built, and they project this on to all other societies.

There's a huge international book and publishing fair in Frankfurt every year, this year's edition is coming up this week. The entity that organizes it predictably condemned "terrorist attacks against Israel" and now many of the Arab participants are canceling last minute. The book fair organization is at a complete loss, at least in their external communications they pretend to have absolutely no idea why Arabs could be backing out.

The ship has long sailed on that one. Helping out Zionist occupation forces is just standard operating procedure for the boots of the empire.

It's still so crazy seeing the CIA feign concern for Muslims.

Canada is something like 10,000km away from the coast of China. Canadian forces aircraft have no business being out there.

I've been in Berlin the last few days, it's been really interesting.

There's the expected anti-communism literally everywhere (honestly even more than I expected). But there's also some gems to be found, and I didn't even make it to any of the Soviet or DDR memorials or locations. What gets me the most is the appropriation of communist landmarks and memorials for capitalist/fascist purposes.

I did find a really cool picture folder of the rebuilding of East Berlin at a flea market, as well as a book of speeches from a 1983 SED conference which I'll share here when I have a chance. There's also a few museum exhibitions now talking about German colonialism which positively surprised me.
