The kids are right; the kids are good; there is no morally unacceptable action in the effort to stop a genocide, and property is never more important than human life. When violence is the status quo disruption is a moral imperative. We should all be so lucky to live our convictions.

The concept of the American Dream of acquiring property, consumer goods, that our brains are soaked in from birth, literally leads these people to value their junk over human lives. Goes hand in hand with the lack of a "societal/social benefit" concept. We are a land of truly rotten individualists.

This is why I feel nothing is more accurate than "what you'd have done back then [during the civil war, ww2, civil rights, vietnam, etc] is what you're doing right now".
The laundering of past movements is always so predictable, just like the fact that the polls then look a lot like the polls now.

Someone from that list is trying tooth and nail to drag me into it.
Beware anywho is like, "here, take this Lamy Safari pen, I got several" because soon enough you'll be justifying a $300 fountain pen....and it's a slippery slope from there.

All solid.
I throw Ken Klippenstein in there, especially now that he's gone indie. Also Caitlin Johnstone absolutely never misses the mark. Chad Loder doesn't write per se but deserves a follow as 100% legit antifash.

Shoutout to the UCLA protestors for showing up PREPARED, y'all.
Hard hats! Goggles! Building supplies! Flashlights and lasers! And a bunch of fire extinguishers (especially entertaining!)???? Amazing.

Every "I heard there was an antisemitic sign/chant" should be swiftly met with "show the proof, bc behind me are 1k, 2k, 10k people chanting free of antisemitism, and hundreds of hours of video proof" and keep it moving.

Spending time bringing people into the big left tent means understanding that we prob have more in common with a "death to America" chanter than the pearl clutching liberal protest-scold.
Waste of time trying to disprove every anecdotal instance that are prob just bad faith plants anyways.

USA waged a whole Cold War for the dissolution of the Soviet Union for (checks notes) the big big reason of: "different and scary economic model"
If someone wants to chant for the defeat of a nation bc it participates in a genocide....that logic at least checks out.

Moreover, if you want to call for the end of a nation, doing so because they actively engage in or facilitate a Genocide is completely warranted.

Real convenient that every time someone claims "I saw antisemitic signs" at a protest they never have pics. Same with when they claim to be harassed and lack even a shaky phone video.
Worst though is the unwillingness of anyone in US media to interrogate a single claim bc they're such obvious BS.

Dunno why these cops are so annoyed.
They're all getting INSANE overtime pay to stand around and play Candy Crush wearing a little extra gear.

Says the guy whose program hasn't stopped mustering BIG UPSET energy almost every night to remind us that big orange man bad! Have you even said the word "genocide"?
Not that MSNBC would let an honest coverage happen but only Joy Reid has the juice/willingness to call it a genocide.

The thing that gets me going every, fuckin, time, is that Isrealis apparently continually forget that we can translate the shit they say to English.
We literally see you on the news/tv/tiktok IN YOUR OWN WORDS being super-extra-genocidal!

Big Shawn Fain fan after his solidarity with striking Hollywood writers included threatening to (I'm paraphrasing) smack the shit out of millionaire execs waiting for Christmas to bust the strike.
We need more of that thick-forearmed, dad strength, Irish solidarity in our day to day!

Excellent article.
Really heartening to see that the folks who said we'd see dwindling union power/membership after SCOTUS ruled in '21 against Janus v. AFSCME, failed to account for just how fast late stage capitalism would shit up people's lives and drive them to unionize in record numbers.

The Palestinian genocide's Dem support is an example of how far both parties will go to squash ANY movement that impacts GDP, military-industrial complex, energy, etc
As the stakes grow, the boot won't be as relatively measured like it was when we protested the murder of random black/brown folks.

Reminder: protesting at your Google job and getting fired, is DUMB AS SHIT. Youβre helping literally nothing.
A group of insider whistleblowers, or working to sabotage systems, or even loudly resigning are all more effective. Or quit! But revolution, Gaza, doesnt need your symbolic sacrifice.
