It's so tragically obvious that #Zionism is nothing but #fascism of another ilk. Underlying is the same greed for money, land and power that signifies #Capitalism.

In the end, when all is said and done this is what it is. Fascism donning its favourite costume of #Nationalism and religious zealotry.

Pointing that out is NOT antisemitism. Get it into your bloody heads.

Finally Sasha got her residency approved here in Spain after 4-5 years of us trying, spending money, being stressed. After being rejected once because we did not have enough money as a family - imagine that! That was the actual reason.

But now that I had a "job" they made us wait 7 months from the moment we applied, and 2 complaints later from the lawyer about why they do not approve it, it finally got approved. And the reason was ONLY because I was a "trader" in this bullshit trade society.

How terrible that we treat people like tools. The value is in what and how much you can trade. Does not matter if you are a good human being. Smart? Doesn't matter. Calm and helpful? Nope. Scientifically minded? Nah.

I spent my life doing free things for others, never made a profit, but this has 0 value in this society.

Anyway, fuck you to those who support a world where we are divided into tribes and languages, and treating people like sole traders/marketers and not humans. We have global problems but so many still want to have their own "separate" tribe and care only about that. Fuck your flag, your language, your culture. Fuck nationalism. A primitive disease.

We are all humans with a 4 billion years long history, a mindblowing one. Single cells becoming what we are today. The way we are connected to each other, scientifically, dwarfs any bullshit man-made story about their own tribe. We have lego-brick-like structures we call the DNA that encode all of what we are. And all of what other creatures are, and how we are all connected.

We live on a giant sphere with a thin layer of atmosphere protecting us from the infinite universe out there.

So fuck you if you think your nationalism is so important, and your borders and stupid nonsensical laws.

I had to let this out because it is outrageous how primitive this society is.

Fuck you! :)

"Even if nationalism in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries were not fundamentally racist (it was), there could be no doubt that the far-right on offer today is. ...

national belonging satisfies not a political need but rather a baser human one, a need for meaning and belonging. If that is indeed the case, we are likely living not through the twilight of nationalism but rather its violent rebirth."

Very nice of Ramzan Kadyrov to ban not only the Russian National anthem, but also the Chechen one.

In early June 1940, British troops evacuated from Dunkirk, & #France was overrun by the #Nazi #blitzkrieg. In Sept, the very month of the cmte’s formation, German troops were in Paris & Edward R. Murrow was reporting from #London under bombardment by the #Luftwaffe. That was the moment the #AmericaFirst movement launched itself into the battle to #block #aid to #Britain.
