• It has been revealed for a while what is going on in these camps. Everything from that article and worse. It’s been on CNN and everything, the incarcerations without trial, the beatings, the sleep and water deprivation, the SA. It has been indefensible and undeniable for months, our governments simply do not give a fuck and double down on repression against those who point this out.

      Not just month but 77 years and counting. In fact its those which pointed it out where silenced, fired, slandered, and sometimes killed- with the enthusiastic support of most governments and vast sections of the civil society of the west and too many other countries.

      The endorsed axiom of the Twentyfirst century was that people which oppose genocide are more morally in the wrong than people who commit said genocide.

      No I mean, that’s what is willing to be put out publicly. I’m suggesting there are worse atrocities not yet revealed to the public that will see the light of day in the near future

        The mistake is in thinking any reveal at all will be big. World extinction could and is upon us and that “big reveal” will be met with shrugs as people simply go about their day anyway as the food, water, and clean air supplies dwindle. Not because they don’t believe it (though for some that will be true), or even that they don’t care (though for some that will be true), but because they are or at least believe themselves to be, completely powerless (for all of us this is true).

          Libs change sides on issues constantly when it suits them. Im suggesting that we’re going to see a major about face in regard to Zionism in the near future as the most severe stories see the light of day, not that suddenly humanity is going to be enlightened lol

            I mean yeah, this is their Trail of Tears moment. It’s fucked up that the world always waits for the genocide to be over and then says “oh yeah, terrible tragedy, if only we had done something.” The big obvious fucking difference is that we all were here present witnessing this one and we did nothing. I’m not blaming the population on this one, we all have our own problems to fucking focus on due to capitalism distracting us with, y’know, barely surviving.

            But that’s always been the case as long as I’ve lived, and until we fucking do something drastic like completely overthrowing current power dynamics, none of us call the shots and we’re all aware of it, and real systemic change is just a pipe dream as it currently stands.

            So yeah, you’re right, we’re all gonna be upset about the whole thing while we continue to go to our jobs and consume our food, water, and media, and do absolutely fucking nothing. Because we’re slaves, and slaves don’t speak up until living under slavery isn’t worth it, and dying for the freedom of the future is all that’s left.
