Fft was and is my favorite.

“The gods have no eyes for chattel” never ceases to boil my blood.

can we please watch and see what he actually does?

Homer Simpson’s Can’t someone else do it but for political and social revolution.

Sounds like social engineering to break your will, ensure compliance, and plan for worker obsolescence.

That was the first thing I noticed too. It is an offense against him first, and the power to absolve his daughters’ abusers is his alone.

It seems people feel betrayed by her and her platforming of liberal Zionism, but Natalie has shown herself to be a liberal since the inception of her channel and rise to fame. Her presentation was interesting - perhaps deradicalizing - during the early/mid Trump administration in 2017-19, since fascist politics, aesthetics, and culture were brazenly becoming normalized by the likes of the New York Times, the internet, and media at large.

But her time has past, no? Sure she still makes a very lucrative existence but her celebrity is very niche and echo chamber-y of people who are unwilling to challenge society to begin with.

I suppose this post by Natalie is a useful anecdote of evidence for the examination of liberal fetishism of respectability politics.

Ultimately this appeals to those who are unwilling and incapable of doing anything helpful for Palestine; it seems her supporters aren’t activists to begin with but passive consumers of the likes of r/neoliberal waiting to be pacified and reassured that the status quo of their privileged section of humanity is still extant.

I think the USSR used to just give you a job, shelter, medical care and support but they did expect you to work barring disabilities that prevented you from doing so.

These posts and comments as you’ve presented them are just general misanthropy hidden behind assigning social worth to labor to wages, a rant on their learned helplessness to the sentiment of : why don’t I receive help? Why is my life so hard?. It is the cry of the alienated capitalist subject.

What happened to Dirt_Owl?

Those two get paid as much as medical doctors per year every month

Kind of a tangent but I looked up history of the dunk tank and then it took me to the Jim Crow museum.

What a sick, evil, depraved society.

I’d like to think things are a bit better, maybe if only a little, but that kind of brazen evil is really horrifying.

Then a synapse fired and that is the reality the oppressed have always found themselves in. Especially right now in Palestine.

NYC mayor has nigh dictatorial powers in the city, being only be able to be checked by the state govt, NYPD, and the MTA

I think you’re substituting age with intellectual lethargy in this statement.

A few days ago I asked about that zwei_squirell post and other heterodox questions that were amounted to dooming in this site.

I appreciated the feedback, analysis, and insight.

However, I certainly don’t want to read a “trust the plan” comment. It comes off as a very adolescent, juvenile, and dismissive response; it comes off as hopecasting and political lethargy.

I think it was the Schezwan sauce comeback where someone made a scene at a McDonalds exclaiming the quote “I’m Pickle Rick”.

The show, aside from Roiland, is OK. I don’t understand the big deal before or since then around the show.

I don’t mean to sound dismissive, but I recall her time in the sun was during 2017/18, and was mostly famous for deradicalizing fascists.

If Covid-19 and the million deaths was not the turning point for Zoomers to disavowing neoliberal politics and economics, then certainly the genocide in Gaza was. Her videos are talented for Youtube, but are those videos really as entertaining or interesting as you recall them to be? Is it anything else other than to recycle talking points that the state of the world is good because the alternatives are bad.

Thank you.

Is there any refutation of zei_squirell’s post from the other day that I can read up on? This war’s forecast seems heavily in the US/Israel’s favor.

The real reasons for the US-Israeli war on Iran, explained - Geopolitical Economy Report/Ben Norton

Is that Samson Doctrine publication post from Iran have any weight of truth to it? I know that Israel has it but I just thought it was a boogeyman that Israel let circulate

Yeah that’s what I thought it was, but the fog of war makes everything quite uncertain that I would at least like heterodox perspectives to help in forecasting where this is going. r/JewsOfConscience is a hub for anti-Zionist Jews.

a comment of someone on r/JewsOfConscience: https://www.reddit.com/r/JewsOfConscience/comments/1lcm3um/cnn_jun_15_2025_israel_underestimated_irans/

"Listen, I try to be realistic here, there is no evidence of a significant re-grouping, Trita Parsi is known for drinking a lot of Kool-Aid. Israel checkmated Iran, there is no need to live in a fantasy world.

Forget about the nuclear program, it’s a sideshow (the US will drop a bunker buster into the Fordow facility sooner or later), the reality is much worse…

They took out all air defence systems to establish air superiority, then they assasinated Iran’s military leadership and the whole country is infiltrated by Mossad collaborators actings as Israel’s eyes on the ground.

That’s what will happen next: Iran will exhaust their remaining ballistic missiles (~1000 left), then they’ll switch to their small stockpile of new hypersonic BM with bigger warheads, as well as cruise missiles. (Israel fully calculated this limited and acceptable retaliation into their war plans, including the closing of the Strait of Hormuz or an attack on Saudi oil fields)

Since Israel established full air superiority, they’ll be able to shoot down any BM after it’s launch inside Iran and immediately destroy the launcher too.

After this phase is over, they’ll assasinate the Ayatollah and go into waiting mode. People say he will simply get replaced, maybe even by a military leader, but they don’t understand that Israel created a similar situation to Lebanon with Hezbollah. The new leader will immediately be assasinated too and Iran will be either turned into a headless zombie state or they’ll be forced to capitulate to Israel’s demands."
