I can't go over all the details, but here is a short look

There was a single person killed this morning, four injured, two seriously. More arrested. Currently, the government seems to be trying to conduct raids and arresting a bunch of people. Sources of al-jazeera (they also have the article in english) are the red crescent and palestinian health ministry, their website seems to be down and I don't have twitter and currently only getting used to nitter. Settler attacks have been on the rise.

Further stuff: PA seems to be willing to be the accomplice of the Israeli gov, but they seem to lack the ability to pull it through, having been "a new chance" by Netanyahu after failing to fulfill security functions earlier this year. The PA made some arrests of people from Islamic Jihad and Hamas before: https://al-akhbar.com/Palestine/365959/%D8%A7%D8%B9%D8%AA%D9%82%D8%A7%D9%84%D8%A7%D8%AA-%D9%85%D8%AA%D8%B5%D8%A7%D8%B9%D8%AF%D8%A9-%D9%88%D8%AA%D8%AD%D8%B6%D9%8A%D8%B1%D8%A7%D8%AA-%D9%84%D8%AC%D9%85%D8%B9-%D8%A7%D9%84%D8%B3%D9%84%D8%A7%D8%AD-%D8%A7%D9%84%D8%B3%D9%84%D8%B7%D8%A9-%D8%AA%D8%AA%D8%BA%D9%88-%D9%84-%D8%A8%D9%88%D8%AC%D9%87-%D8%A7%D9%84%D9%85%D9%82%D8%A7%D9%88%D9%85

I am not completely rejecting social stuff, but I do it on my terms. none of their cruel little social games anymore where it ends up in bullying somebody.

I mean, if you ever were powerless, being able to hit back harder is a pretty relatable goal and nurturing grudges is not so demonic to me. I mean, how many people in here wouldn't like to see some certain people in society

Not saying they are good guys. Besides the two conspiracists I know where not so ragefilled as more empathetic. Like the one guy cried over 9/11 being on Bush (I didn't disagree with him that much over 9/11). Qanon is not big here. Not as.

yeah, yeah. I think it boiled to some conviction that society will not accept me and adapting to them is rewarding them for their bullying, so I always prefered being able to humiliate and hurt opponents in arguments. Something this site is no stranger to.

I have experienced extremely conservative people with burning hatred for some people, but enough fake affection for "kin" and social facade. Maybe amerikans are indeed satanic enough. I am not saying there is no hate, nor that this incident shouldnt be exploited. More that thinking that is how their brains are wired 100% misses some points

I am in angry space ngl. Not bc of you, more got reminded that people hated my guts and will continue to do so and it's on me to fix my issues

I am in a place where I could pick some friends who are understanding. They get the emotional effort. I generally feel most people who are not ND or trans will just hate my ass anyway, so I don't owe them more than not being mean. I guess I do have to pick things apart one by one. I just was looking for some ressources of angry culture nerds who already transcriped and organized every single line of Fallout 4 dialogue or something I guess, lol

I dont want to fit in. Believe it or not, but I am not gonna be able to pass and mask, ever. I think being able to understand and say what is wrong with say, the worldview of Game of Thrones, is a useful skill. Or discussing handmaiden's tale. Now, I am specialized in some other cultural area. But it is hard to do what would be thorough cultural criticism of every single popular anglo poduct on my own. I understand I sometimes have to do these things. This is not asking about how to conform to this shitfuck society. This is more asking on where to get the knowledge to gently but firmly criticize the minutae of its cultural industry better

I see. Most people around me have taken the grillpill about entertainment. I tried exposing myself to stuff I found was silly and wrong but it is a lot of effort, especially as a side hustle so I hoped somebody else did that for things already. And I of course know how to do struggle sessions without being too mean. Like I personally think people prefer when I say my honest opinion instead of keeping silent. I will not say "you are a nazi fo watching this", but I want to change people's minds and patiently waiting for me to land a position where I can do this perfectly is worse than telling them what I think (without being an ass)

I think I phrased it wrong. Sorry about that. I meant more for stuff like "making clear why things like Goblinslayer are not just A R T, but actual nazi propaganda-level drivel" without spending hours and braincells on these things than necessary, maybe for less arcane things, like Song of Ice and Fire as an example instead of sleazy weebshit

same goes for people disliking things. I would want to have more of something that has the plot points of the product nailed down, summarizes the characters, etc

Would be a good idea, but I am a) a raging prideful asshole and more seriously, b) fans generally don't have the best understanding of their own stuff like try discussing why anime x is badwrong with a fan of anime x

I am not sure how in here is polemic, but I doubt the conscious ideological stance (unconscious stance, see the following) of conservatives is making children starve or something. If conservatism was purely hate and contempt alone, it couldn't hold on to legitimacy. I think the reasoning goes more like being upset at the judeo-bolshevik-coded strawpeople turning their kids reliant on an overreaching state instead of keeping the responsibility within the nuclear family unit, thus leading to ""cultural/societal decay"". Obviously the quiet part is that poor parents and kids deserve their fate, but most conservatives are not really aware of this hypocrisy. Moralism and "deserved poverty" is baked into this stuff way more than "god wants kids to starve", which some people already pointed out with calvinism. But it is not Calvinism exclusive in my opinion. Rather disgust for weakness/need in general (bc you don't wanna admit it could hit you and you want to numb your empathy) being the underlying emotion here, not so much an intellectual argument. Maybe I am getting the discussion wrong and everybody meant that, God knows best...

wanted to do more and earlier, but shit keeps getting in my way

There is a stand-off between Israelis, UNIFIL and the Lebanese Army near the Israeli occupied sheba farms. Haven't vetted any of the following claims the guy makes. There are merkava tanks and mortars trained on the position of the UNIFIL place. They pulled up to the point of retreat. The UNIFIL and LA, the guy claims, had canisters of tear gas thrown at their position (tarmi 3alaina al-qanabil al-musaiyila li-'d-dumu3) as well as stun grenades. Some other stuff which I don't have the energy to translate rn, but it seems to be an ongoing situation kind of deal. Second part is him pointing at Israelis semi-hiding behind a tree. The situation currently is calm, he says, which also seems to be confirmed with the UNIFIL guys idly looking at the merkava and standing around. Numbers of involved soldiers doesn't seem to be high, but there are more nearby. I do not think the situation will escalate. But it is worth noting that shit like this keeps happening. Here are the news:

A distant cousin of John Seethe

there is more where that came from

I get you. It's exactly the Labor Aristocracy part why I am so sectarian, lol. Albeit, my hatred goes out more to Social Democrats working in the arms industry or tech (where does the money come from, huh??), or even just a somewhat priviledged job who wear revolutionary costumes only as long as their comfort is not threatened and who defend certain $$treamers as their main political activity.

I don't even think the LA in imperialist countries is irredeemable. Just that spending efforts to convince them to act against immediate material interests is pretty misguided. Broma (Worker Elite) is decent for those guys btw, breaks down the issues I have without the weird diatribes that boil down to "western proletarians are a bunch of wussies". God, I hate "Western Leftist" (person I disagree with) now, everybody uses it. Same as with the Qing guy meme, it got people big scared, lol, now everybody uses it

if you are not shitposting about this, start with dependency theory. Zack Cope is good, there are a lot of other people as well. Gets you there half the way. Kites Journal is also good, they have an obnoxious writing style, but give them some chance to make their points and dont be put off by them pissing on Leftists and seemingly calling for "Civil war now!!!". Also, dont join any thing that openly runs around calling itself Maoist, at least without looking at it thoroughly. Do your due diligence and look at what they actually do (this goes for any org btw)

Also, "Third-Worldist" is not so beloved as a term, it has been used by revisionists to make silly strawpeople about what is not even anything outrageous, but really just Leninism.

MLMs are not angry MLs, just as MLs are not angry soccdems.

the dollarization happened bc of the inflation not THIS inflation, the economic crisis, not bc the state decided it, or, well, you could say a state decided it. The US didn't save Lebanon's ass this time, as opposed to the Intra Bank crash back in the 1960ies, where they needed to prop up a "democratic" state against the USSR's partners/clients
