Expect Them To Lie About China Just Like They Lied About Gaza
As Washington's cold war with China escalates, we can expect to see a massively reinvigorated anti-China propaganda campaign in the west. As this unfolds, please know that everything you learned about the mass media's dishonesty regarding Gaza is equally true of empire-targeted nations like China.

Hamas Succeeded In Exposing The True Face Of The Empire
One thing October 7 did accomplish was getting Israel and its allies to show the world their true face. Getting them to stand before all of humanity to say, "If you resist us, we'll kill your babies. We'll deliberately shoot your kids in the head. We'll massacre medical workers. We'll systematically destroy all your hospitals. We'll rape you and torture you as a matter of policy. We'll lay siege to the entire civilian population. We'll make your entire land uninhabitable and then we'll kick you all out and take it for ourselves. We'll assassinate all your journalists and block foreign journalists from entry so that nobody can see what we're doing to you. We'll lie about all of these things the entire time, and you'll know we're lying, and we'll know you know we're lying, and you'll know we know you know we're lying. And we'll get away with it anyway, because we hold all the cards."

Opposing The Gaza Holocaust Is Just The Basic, Bare Minimum Requirement To Not Suck As A Person
Opposing the Gaza holocaust doesn’t make you a good person. Failing to oppose the Gaza holocaust makes you a bad person. It’s not something you do so you can feel good about yourself, it’s something you do so you can live with yourself.

They Tell You The Houthis Attack Ships, But They Never Tell You Why
None of the people applauding Trump's war on Yemen because "the Houthis are attacking ships" will tell you why the Houthis started attacking ships.
