>the American state and the American public has little to gain from Israel
what a load of BS, the public dont profit, but the state state certainly does
Israel is the crucial element to maintain some western and US direct control in the middle east, its positioned as a knife separating the arab land routes, it gives a powerful actor in the region with all the weight that comes with it in international relations, center of trade, information gathering, launchpad for threatening the area etc

>what a load of BS
IKR, but what if, listen. What if, we could have a big libleft moment and *tail* the consequences of the decay of US hegemony about the more repulsive aspects of Israel?

For a moment. A beautiful moment we could claim "left unity" at the same time that we agree fully with the official narrative and enjoy their boosting. Oh my god. Imagine all those fellow leftlibs CRAVING the catharsis and validation, finding an outlet in our idealist denunciation limited to the culture war and the domestic political theater. The fervor, the faith renewed in the power of being a good person and letting others know.

Revealed: a California city is training AI to spot homeless encampments
Some of the capabilities the pilot project is pursuing – such as identifying potholes and cars parked in bus lanes – are already in place in other cities. But San Jose’s foray into automated surveillance of homelessness is the first of its kind in the country, according to city officials and national housing advocates. Local outreach workers, who were previously not aware of the experiment, worry the technology will be used to punish and push out San Jose’s unhoused residents.

Under the thunder of cannonade. Fuel environmental disaster in East Ukraine
For the first time, Ukraine went through the winter entirely on its own gas, says the CEO at the state gas company Oleksiy Chernyshov. “We did this and plan to maintain the trend of Ukraine’s energy independence in the future,” he states on his Facebook. But without specifying that the reason for this was a full-scale Russian invasion, as a result of which gas consumption sharply decreased due to the occupation of many territories and the reduction of energy-intensive production in the rest. At the same time, Ukraine retained control over almost all gas fields, the largest of which are located in the Kharkiv and Poltava regions. Despite the complete satisfaction of the need with domestically produced gas, exploration and launch of new wells in the Poltava region are proceeding at an accelerated pace. The residents regularly complain about strange explosions, the cause of which the authorities do not explain, as well as about tremors.

It worked so well because there was an enemy to rally against that was seemingly an existential threat. When Hitler talked about a “New World Order” he meant, in part, the end of Anglosphere dominance and the emergence of Germany as a major power in global politics. Germany was fighting a total war, and so the Anglo ruling class had to as well. Hitler had one insightful view, which was that to defeat totalitarianism, all these liberal countries had to borrow some of its tactics. Though I’d say the libs managed to perfect them (as well as possibly taking more from Fascism than the Soviets ever did)

If I recall correctly, HUAC originally started to, among other things, prosecute Nazi sympathizers. Even the name sounds fairly Fascist “House Un-American Activities Commission” almost like how Spanish right wingers called Leftists “Anti-Spain”. Mosley was similarly imprisoned without trial in Britain for his political beliefs.

Yknow there was this old propaganda poster I saw ages ago. It was from the Disney company of all things. It was a big picture of FDR captioned “Hats off for The Leader!” And something about the phrasing seemed a little brown in my opinion. “The Leader” doesn’t sound like a title any single politician today can carry. But against the backdrop of total war, it’s important to have this singular figure that can kind of stand “above” the contradictions of society and direct it towards victory. Stalin, arguably, was the equivalent for the USSR.

oh and uh atheism is "cringe" these days too so I guess that adds to it

Because the anon thinks that communism is the of history in general and not the end of class society, that is, all hitherto existing history. History of class society is history of class sturggle, that much I deduct that the Zigga understands - then from these assumptions, he thinks that end of class struggle (communism) means the end of history, because history for him is the history of class struggle, and not history as Marx saw it as "whenever men enter into definitive relations of production" or something similar (German Ideology).

I did not stress it because "hitherto" is a smart sounding word. It's shorthand for "up to this point."

Geoengineering is a big thing that you will see as the 4th industrial revolution begins to take full shape. We're going to get to a point in the system where it does not need humans to fix and maintain it. It will be able to do itself as a self-sufficient organism. All the complex systems upon systems will be dedicated only to the survival of the organism. It will leave either AI or a large group of technocratic elites ruling at the top.
We are getting to the point that even human behavior can be so overstimulated and modified by the system that rebellion against it will be impossible for modern man.
