Thank gawd there are culture war spun stupid mericans from their Walmart freeway exit town with mountain dew for brains to teach me about the evils of deerrrrrrrrrr communism derrrrrr4 😂😂

The human species has essentially been transformed into a giant profit-generating machine for corporations. Under capitalism, humanity exists to serve the interests of the corporation. We are all livestock; beasts of burden used to carry margin expansion forward from quarterly statement to quarterly statement. Enjoyment of life has no value other than the extent to which it can be used to increase the net worth of the shareholders. That’s why everyone’s so unhappy. We’re not living with purpose. We’re not working together to build a better world and a better future, we’re just pulling levers to turn gears to make the arrow line go up on the graph in the conference room. It’s a hollow, pointless way for people to live. It makes our whole culture vapid and soulless. Music is made to be as profitable as possible, which means giving it the broadest possible appeal using formulaic song structure calculated to cause a chemical response in the largest number of human brains. Movies are designed to draw the largest possible box office revenue at the lowest possible risk to studios and investors, often by just rehashing a movie that’s already proven successful in the past or by slapping together a story about an IP with pre-existing mass appeal. Food is made to be fast and addictive rather than nourishing. Healthy human connection has been commodified as social media intertwines with friendships and dating apps insert themselves into the development of romantic relationships. Human sexuality is being warped and twisted as internet porn normalizes violence and degradation for the maximum number of clicks. Attention and engagement have been monetized, creating an information ecosystem dominated by conflict and gossip designed to appeal to our baser instincts. Advertisement is injected into every possible corner of our waking sensory experience, with any available space where the eye might rest or the ear might listen being flooded with psychological manipulation compelling us to consume. They’ll start running commercials in our dreams the instant they have the technology to do so. You spend eight hours at the office working to generate corporate profits, then you come home and consume products to profit other corporations. You need your beer and snacks to unwind, your streaming services and social media to distract your mind from the stress of it all, your online clothing purchase to try to feel good about yourself, and your prescription drugs to get to sleep at night. People live their entire lives like this. And that’s those of us who are lucky enough to be living in the global north. In the global south you get wage slavery and exploitation with far more toil, far less relaxation time, and no cheap products made by impoverished workers on other continents with which to comfort yourself. All of humanity has been roped into this mess. And for what? To make the numbers in some bank accounts increase. To get some green arrows pointing upward on the stock exchange. To enable a few billionaires to buy islands and elections. All while destroying the biosphere we all depend on for survival. This, we are told, is the best possible system we could possibly be living under. I personally do not believe this is true. I personally believe we can have better. Those who benefit from this current arrangement are going to assure us it’s impossible and do everything they can to stop us from changing it, but we do have the means to reclaim the wealth, dignity and happiness that they have stolen from us. They built this whole machine on our backs. All we need to do is stand up.

🇺🇸🇨🇳 Jimmy Dore says China is better than the USA: "In China, the government sits above capital. The economy works for the people. Here, capital sits above government. The economy works for billionaires."

Installed by the US and its energy-rich proxies, Lebanon's president and prime minister enabled the destruction of the south and shockingly blocked refugees from safer areas. Like Trump and Netanyahu, they despise these people and dream of shaking hands with Netanyahu.

former senior CIA officer Frank Snepp details how the CIA launders their propaganda through outlets like the New York Times: "When we wanted to circulate disinformation, we would pick out the most respected journalists and they would print it as exclusives."

‘Many of the claims promoted 20 years ago by Israel about Ahmadinejad’s genocidal intent stemmed from a mistranslation of a speech in which the Iranian leader had quoted the late Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini, who led the 1979 Islamic Revolution. According to western politicians and media, Ahmadinejad had called for Israel to be “wiped off the map” – widely portrayed as an ambition to launch a nuclear strike on Israel. In fact, Ahmadinejad had been repeating Khomeini’s observation that Israel could not survive indefinitely in the form of an illegitimate Jewish supremacist state oppressing another people. He was pointing out that Israel’s days as a racist state were numbered, just as apartheid South Africa’s had been.’ @Jonathan_K_Cook on the history of misinformation about Iran open.substack.com/pub/jonath…

The Zionist regime is focusing on civilian targets across Lebanon. Western diplomats and legacy media journalists based in Beirut know this, but they are silent because they are footsoldiers for the Epstein class.

When we said in 2022 that the “West” is backing Nazis in Ukraine, “liberals” went nuts. They said “but Zelensky is Jewish!” Here he is kneeling at the fresh grave of one of Hitler’s henchmen.

Trump’s redeeming feature: he’s the elite with the mask off. (Nothing is hidden.) American decline has reached the asset-stripping stage, & he doesn’t care much who knows about it. Even his lies are inferior to those of his first term: he doesn’t need to try any more. Amid the gently rising chaos, some believe a new party—a new election, a new leader—can prevent collapse. That hope doesn’t withstand scrutiny. Obama saved the bankers who’d crashed the world economy—then appointed them to his cabinet. Biden armed & funded an actual genocide. Bush slaughtered a million innocents in Iraq. Our savior complexes haven’t delivered. What Western societies are good at (since 508 BC) is #democracy. During the Enlightenment, we reinvented it for the era now ending. It's time to reinvent it again, for the one now beginning. *𝗔𝗱𝗮𝗽𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝙏𝙝𝙚 𝙈𝙚𝙘𝙝𝙖𝙣𝙞𝙘𝙨 𝙤𝙛 𝘾𝙝𝙖𝙣𝙜𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙒𝙤𝙧𝙡𝙙: 𝙋𝙤𝙡𝙞𝙩𝙞𝙘𝙖𝙡 𝘼𝙧𝙘𝙝𝙞𝙩𝙚𝙘𝙩𝙪𝙧𝙚 𝙩𝙤 𝙍𝙤𝙡𝙡𝘽𝙖𝙘𝙠 𝙎𝙩𝙖𝙩𝙚 & 𝘾𝙤𝙧𝙥𝙤𝙧𝙖𝙩𝙚 𝙋𝙤𝙬𝙚𝙧.

Trump has not suddenly turned the US into a plutocracy. What he has done, and we should be grateful to him for doing it, is strip away the thin and false democratic veneer to reveal to everyone how the country is actually run by a small group of wealthy elites. There is nothing new about the workings of power in the US today. It's just that Trump doesn't make any effort to conceal the corruption, protection rackets, privileges and the illusion that the two party system provides voters with meaningful political choices. In fact he genuinely believes that the presidency constitutes a personal right to enrich himself and his family, both during his time in office as the ultimate insider trader, and afterwards. It is possibly the only thing he is more honest about than his predecessors.

I promised. I delivered. My debunking of Israel’s latest reboot of the 7 October mass-rapes hoax: A "landmark" report built from old claims, liars and grifters, repackaged for complicit media. No victim count. No case list. No evidence of mass rapes. electronicintifada.net/conte…

Our media will not speak with Zelensky's former Press Secretary and our governments will pretend she does not exist. Their job is not to inform you or to "help" Ukraine, they are selling a war to enable NATO fighting to the last Ukrainian to weaken a strategic rival - Russia. NATO countries have for years smeared, censored, cancelled and even sanctioned their own citizens who criticised the NATO war narratives. Free speech itself could be cancelled with the empty accusation of "Russian propaganda". m.youtube.com/watch?v=Pkz2-c…

It's downright poetic all the different words Reuters editors can find to avoid saying Israel *violated* a ceasefire.

A British woman was stopped by police at a train station and told she was under investigation after a passenger on a train reported feeling uncomfortable and alleged she had made comments referencing the Holocaust. Police said they had received a text message alleging she had denied the Holocaust, and subsequently tracked her down and told her she was being investigated for a "racially aggravated public order" offence. The woman, Fiona Rose Diamond, an activist with anti-Zionist views, said she was expressing political views about the political ideology Zionism. She said she had just returned from an oncology appointment in London when she was met by British Transport Police at the station. She also said she believed the timing and circumstances were not a coincidence. The activist argued that anti-Zionism is increasingly being deliberately conflated with antisemitism in order to silence criticism of Israel and suppress dissenting political views in Britain. "I am more than entitled to hold beliefs about a political ideology," she said in the video, adding that her grandfather was Jewish. The incident has sparked renewed debate over free speech in the UK.
