The way it works: the more privileged the westerner, the more likely they are to fashion a "noble savage", "oppressed" subject to appear to compensate for their privilege. Their cause thereby becomes high status within the west - in line with the status of Ivies, Oxbridge, Ecoles Superieures etc. Which leads lower status people to copy them in a bid to be part of the corresponding class.

it seems that their new strategy is to distribute little breadcrumbs to a starving population and then shoot at them when they come pick it up. the civilised and the savage, except by now we all know who is who.



it's apocalyptic.

Interesting how steady that cam is being held from a relatively safe position.

When I was growing up I couldn’t conceive of how the Nazi’s were exterminating whole populations. Not only in the death camps but on the battle fronts (Eizengrupen). Yet, that was a time when unless you were a literal eye witness, how would you know.
I remember thinking how can this happen?

Now, in the age of realtime documentation the results/outrage are hardly discernible.
The slaughter & inhumanity is virtually without precedent this electronic age. The outrage is relegated to ridiculous ad hominem attacks on those trying to end it.
The tolerance by many nations, my own included will not go unpaid for.
What have we become?

Some absolute dickhead just set a bunch of people on fire at a rally in Colorado for the Israeli hostages. Apparently he was throwing Molotov cocktails into the crowd.

Don’t doubt it. Haven’t yet seen the report.
I don’t like to think we (The U.S.) is as totally stupid as it gets credit for, but in a country of 330 million we have just as many, if not more per capita jerkoffs than any comparable country. We also have as many brilliant people as most 1st world nations but by and large they are moral cowards.

Oh well that's going to get lots of people to come round to his side, I'm sure.

Just FYI, just saw the Molotov cocktail story. It is horrendous & clearly done by a crackpot.
Lead story at top and bottom of the hour

Also 21 minutes later they managed to report 31 civilians in Gaza massacred. Mostly women & children but, hey they bothered mentioning it right before sports scores and weather forecast so very fair and balanced.

Not sure who ‘they’ are. But, why martyr her?
If she doesn’t already. There’s a better chance they Will surreptitiously record/release an AI assisted porn video of her and put it on only fans.
