Your reminder that the elites who own America are constantly astroturfing in order to keep workers divided and yelling at each other on social media over their favorite flavors of propaganda. It's the only thing that prevents citizens from revolting against the system through city-wide strikes, workplace occupations etc.
On Sunday, Al Jazeera reported that this past Tuesday's "Pro Israel Rally" in DC was part of a propaganda campaign sponsored by Starwood Property Trust billionaire Barry Sternlicht.
The goal of the campaign is obviously not to "defend Israel" (including the many thousands of Israelis who've condemned the genocide), it's an artificial showing of "support" for the genocide so guys like him can grab the land.
Naturally, Sternlicht paid people to attend the rally so as to "manufacture consensus."
No, what really bothers me about Republicans isn't their unwavering support for militarily enforced vulture capitalism and their refusal to see the US as a marauding empire the rest of the world detests, it's how their phobia of individualism makes them so bloody unfunny and tedious to be around. It's like everything you say to them carries the danger of upsetting their delicate sensibilities, and you just want to slip a hit of blotter acid in their meatball sub just to break the monotony.
Weeks ago I said that Turkey is a wild card in the coming worldwide conflicts.
On Saturday, Turkish president Erdogan called Hamas "freedom fighters" & expressed solidarity with Palestine.
Turkey and Palestine are both >90% Sunni Muslim.
It *will* matter.
Biden needs to be relentlessly pressured to stop the genocide, start managing the situation and begin the healing process.
Social media is a place where you picture your readers sitting there reading your nonsense, all dressed up like kings and queens, eating chicken legs and saying "Entertain me, knave," when in reality they're all in their undies, ignoring an important bill and thanking God they're too chicken to post what you just did.
Don't you think that by now, the corporate social media companies would let us rank whose posts we actually see in our feeds instead of showing completely random stuff from all of our mutuals with no rhyme or reason? Like, we could have categories for "Good Friends," "Funny People" and "People Who Sometimes Yell At Me In All Caps" 🤔
Boy, with all the bad things going on right now, people have forgotten how awful teenagers are, ever think about that? Lol, imagine having to deal with a teenager while inflation is making you more broke every minute and the US empire is collapsing and we're waiting for WWIII to start, just imagine how much that would suck😂
El Niño will dramatically affect winter 2023 — but what does that actually mean?
Winter is still weeks away, but meteorologists are already talking about a snowy winter ahead in the southern Rockies and the Sierra Nevada. They anticipate more storms in the U.S. South and Northeast, and warmer, drier conditions across the already dry Pacific Northwest and the upper Midwest.
