wow as a student of history I love learning more about historical contexts and can’t wait to see what context I’m missing on this photo of a dead Palestinian child!
“Israel is an illegitimate settler state that must either face reintegration like South Africa or be destroyed and consigned to the dustbin of history” is like the bedrock understanding in all those encampments lmao they gonna learn
Voting power is proportional to shares owned aka how much money you have. The market cap of Lockheed Martin is $110B. Where are the students going to get the literal multi-10s-of-billions of dollars to acquire an activist-size stake? Like holy fuck this is so unbelievably stupid.
“There are leaflets on how to protest leaflets or how to commit civil disobedience. There are leaflets on what to do when you get arrested, leaflets on what to say to police,” Daughtry explained....
It’s absolutely ridiculous being on the inside seeing the effort it takes to scrape together a few hundred bucks for signs and tents, then turning around and seeing the frat boy flag rager & zionist thug crowdfunds get like half a mil, then turn around again and see this. Like holy fuck, yes there are leaflets! Some students came together, broke themselves into subgroups to think about logistics, defense, food, etc., then developed plans and executed them! This is like a few hours of work on a weekday night, it doesn’t need to be financed by some giant foreign conspiracy. God damn.
It’s a hard problem. Joining orgs to meet people to sleep with is obvious wrecker behavior but often orgs are where you meet people most compatible with you. Every political party, even mainstream ones, has lots of people sleeping with each other. Humans are gonna catch feelings, especially in leftist orgs where trauma bonding from violent interactions with cops is possible. I don’t have the solution really.
It isn’t all grey marching frowning guys and beating up ethnic minorities and suppressing art. People who show you personally great kindness, who make jokes, who enjoy music and good food - they find fascism compatible. Just endless numbers of seemingly nice things can happily coexist with and violently defend fascism. The...
Toward the end of 2021, according to a senior European official, Putin was weighing whether to launch his full-scale invasion when he met with the head of one of Russia’s main spy services, who told him that the CIA, together with Britain’s MI6, were controlling Ukraine and turning it into a beachhead for operations against Moscow.
But the Times investigation found that Putin and his advisers misread a critical dynamic. The CIA didn’t push its way into Ukraine. U.S. officials were often reluctant to fully engage, fearing that Ukrainian officials could not be trusted, and worrying about provoking the Kremlin.
Yet a tight circle of Ukrainian intelligence officials assiduously courted the CIA and gradually made themselves vital to the Americans.
The imperial frontier state drew us in! We didn’t want to control them, they asked us to!
