"As revolutionaries, we don't have the right to say that we're tired of explaining. We must never stop explaining. We also know that when the people understand, they cannot but follow us. In any case, we, the people, have no enemies when it comes to peoples. Our only enemies are the imperialist regimes and organizations." Thomas Sankara, 1985

We know how bleak things are. We know what has been happening and what will likely happen. You don't always have to spell it out when it doesn't help anyone.
Why wouldn't Israel destroy itself and take Palestine with them if China decided to militarily overthrow this entity? And who would the world blame? China. It's always China's fault.
There is an epidemic of "someone will do something and save us, we just have to hold out." Across so much of the people I see. On here. On Reddit. IRL. And it need to be broken. Shit is bleak and I'm tired of seeing people hide from it. The world is bleak and it's abandoned Palestine and nothing is more awful and disgusting than that. Nothing is more enraging that people not accepting what is happening. Thinking it'll all be ok. It's fucking not. No one is coming to save them, no one is coming to same us. We have to save ourselves, and maybe, if we hit enough people in the face with that, we won't be alone in doing so. People need a wake up call. People need to top hiding from it.
And Israel will absolutely nuke Gaza on its way out. It's one of many reasons no one will do anything. China isn't going to get itself nuked over it. They aren't stupid. I am not in the "China bad because do nothing" crowd. I get it. And I accept the bleakness. The world leaders have pretty much quietly accepted they will let Palestine die to prevent global nuclear war. My gripe isn't that China isn't doing anything. They do what they can. I am sure of that. It's that damn I could go without seeing shit like their ambassadors going on about how great their trade relations are with Isn'treal and how great partners they are and all that shit. And I can see why people form the opinion that they are just sipping mimosas while all this goes on.
I don't agree with everything written here, but I think this is a decent critique of what's happening under Liberalism Oscar Wilde 1891
That pretty much sums up liberalism, what it does, how it carries out it's evils while pretending to be good and how imo. we desperately need healthy Individualism. But I am struggling to figure out how to pitch this. Right now I'm trying the approach of: "I see you're trying to rescue people here, that's awesome that you care, but we really need to do something about what's causing it."
But people are so propagandized they don't listen to me. I'm talking about building power locally and then we can use it to assist other causes, but they don't want to build power. They keep on relying on private industry and show no interest to work with me to build an alternative. Shit's so bleak, but I'll try to figure out something.
I tried to convince a person I know is a liberal today that like, changing the "current regime" in the Whitehouse will not stop what is happening and that this shits not gonna just get better and there no "weathering this crazy phase."
And it basically made me realize that.... We're doomed. These fucking people. They will just pretend like everything is fine until they are being shoved into an incinerator. They really just cannot fathom that things won't just "be ok." It honestly was part of what spawned my entire rant here.... I just.... How? How can people be so god damn delusional? I am actually going insane. I can feel my mental faculties snapping a little bit more every time I interact with them.
