1. Ending relationships go both ways: they’re also isolated from you
2. You can politically pressure peers by cutting ties; like all political pressure this too can be programmed and collectivized
3. If you preemptively commit to never understanding something, you will succeed

This just a continuation of the lone wolfization of yt subjects of POLITICAL consequence. Every time you frame them as ‘divorced, validation seeking, attention grabbing, giant toddlers: you’re telling on your preempting selves: that is how you expect your compliance to be treated and forgiven.

Satire newspaper editorial board squares ‘global ruling class efforts’ to ‘a matter of hurt feelings’ circle

From the emergence of young Turks to kkk and PayPal mafia, vested imperial interests, no matter how thinly distributed over to their masses, don’t just cave in to the pressure of the right-honorable struggles of the disenfranchised: they form new and ever greater alliances.

and I’m going to have to say: the popular force of a global anti colonial awakening/solidarity HAS TO coincide with a global settler colonial solidarity in the opposite direction.

1. Democrats will shift right back to empire’s state policy line the moment they think they’re in charge (election or otherwise)
2. ‘Both about equally’ dems are most definitely either calculatedly coy, or, systemically soft Israel sympathizers
3. Settler colonials gon stick with their kind

@petersinger.info forever finds himself passing by mass r*pe queues with his zippers halfway down, ready and eager to participate in each and every inevitable tragedy to prove anyone can do the most good he can do
Also: he's a 1st class citizen of a settler colonial state like most his readership

As a philosopher his criteria is functionally extra temporal: 'the most good you can do' is always already conveniently fixed AND contained at some eternal present, an immediate benefit hedged against some immediate harm happening within whatever historic-structural continuum he's fully immersed in

On a separate note: he’s a first class citizen of a settler colonial state like his readership

Singer would join a mass r*pe queue to stall the process, would actually follow through to soften the blow on his end and shrug criticisms off by saying “look at the past mass r*pes in history, look at the inefficiency/adverse effects of anti r*pe politics before & during & after

I don’t live in NYC in the year 2025 partly because clueless yt ümmis who treat the passage of time as if it’s some tech service that guarantees qualitative improvement still can amass 250k followers from culture war performance whilst obliviously holding on to the returns of their horrid past

I live in New York City in the year 1720.
The governor sells favors to the highest bidder.
The judges enforce laws that protect the wealthy.
The businesses are slave trade on stolen land.
The merchants smuggle goods and bribe officials.
The very worst people in America are in charge of America.

I live in NYC in the year 1900.
The governor is backed by a mafiatic political machine.
The police bust strikes for factory owners.
The warmongering newspaper moguls rig elections.
The rich hoard wealth as immigrants rot in tenements.
The very worst people in America are in charge of America.

I live in New York City in the year 1863.
The mayor is controlled by a corrupt political machine.
The police department is run with bribes from criminals.
The biggest employers profit from child labor.
The real estate barons build slums.
The very worst people in America are in charge of America.

It is currently self-cannibalizing, like all such previous republics have (like Israel will have to) and leapfrog into its final masks-off Empire State. Oligarchy, along with capitalism, is merely the existing mode of such zero-sum-gains governance, distilled into its logical end, given enough time.

Take U.S. republic: it is the direct result and continuation of the necessary wealth-redistribution step of many concurrent and consecutive empire building projects, that splintered into its own thing. Like Israel has.

My problem with the oligarchy interpretation of how things stand in the settler colonial empires, and their protectorates, is the way it leaves out HOW its constituent masses consent to it: not by some enforced ignorance from without, as this meme frames it, but from within by inheritance.

Underreaction comes with no such consideration?
