Waking Up From The Nightmare Of Western Civilization
We don't need horror movies. We're creating our own horrors in places like Gaza.
We don't need dystopian fiction. We're living in dystopia right here in our own society.
We don't need fantasy stories about scary monsters. The scary monsters run our government.

Israel Will Even Persecute Palestinians For Simply Talking To Journalists
Israeli soldiers have been harassing a Palestinian activist who appeared in Louis Theroux's recent documentary The Settlers to talk about Israel's apartheid abuses in the occupied West Bank. Issa Amro shared footage of IDF troops raiding his home over the weekend, days after Theroux's film debuted on the BBC.

It Was Never About Hostages. It Was Never About Hamas
There is absolutely no excuse for continuing to babble about hostages and Hamas after the US and Israel said the goal is the complete ethnic cleansing of Gaza. They told you what this is really about. They said it. With their face holes. They said it right to you. End of debate.

"Anti-Zionism Is Anti-Semitism"
Anti-Zionism is anti-semitism. Cats are ducks. The Declaration of Independence is spaghetti sauce. The Bronze Age is a foot fetish. There are no differences between any two things. All things are exactly the same as all other things.

Israel's Backers Keep Whining That They're Losing Control Of The Narrative
Amnesty International is now calling Israel’s mass atrocity in Gaza “a live-streamed genocide” due to the way this nightmare is unfolding right in front of us on the screens of our devices around the world, and public support for Israel is plummeting in the United States.
Zionists are losing control of the narrative, and they know it. And they are not taking it well.

Biden Never Pushed For A Ceasefire In Gaza
So everyone who said the Biden administration was working for a ceasefire lied. They lied that whole entire time. They committed genocide and lied about it, and then they said you were crazy and irresponsible if you didn’t support them.

It's Always About The System
Israel is a bad country full of bad people. They are not bad because of their religion, they are bad because they live in a genocidal apartheid state whose existence depends on indoctrinating its people into seeing genocide and apartheid as good. It's the system. It's always about the system.

We Are Trapped In A Dystopia That Is Ruled By Lunatics
We really need a name for the mental illness that comes with obscene amounts of wealth. Elon Musk's bizarre progeny obsession. All the weird shit Michael Jackson did. The stories you hear about rich families making their servants clean their toilets after every use or throw away plates after every meal.

Nobody Say "Fuck Israel, Free Palestine"
Nobody say "Fuck Israel, Free Palestine." Saying "Fuck Israel, Free Palestine" is very offensive to people who think genocide is good.
When you say "Fuck Israel, Free Palestine," you are hurting the feelings of the people who believe it's fine to bomb every hospital in Gaza. So you must never, ever say "Fuck Israel, Free Palestine."
