Bro Absolutely COOKED With This.

There’s something uniquely perverse about cruelty performed by people who will never experience the consequences of their own ideology. Unlike the Somali pirates or the Taliban—groups operating in extreme conditions, driven by survival, ideology, or desperation—the architects of modern American cruelty live in comfort. They do not suffer. They are not struggling for food or security. And yet, they choose cruelty, not as a necessity, but as a luxury.  This is performative suffering, an aesthetic of toughness projected by people who have never known real hardship. It’s the lawmakers who gut welfare programs while vacationing in gated resorts. It’s the TV pundits who sneer at working-class struggles from air-conditioned studios. It’s bureaucrats who deny migrants soap and toothpaste—not out of logistical necessity, but because cruelty itself is a flex, a demonstration of power detached from material reality.  It has no greater purpose beyond LOOKING ruthless. It is the political equivalent of posing in tactical gear without ever seeing combat, of calling for war from the safety of a country club. It is not the brutality of warriors or the desperation of insurgents. It is the decadence of empire—violence for the sake of self-image, cruelty as a luxury good.

Thinking about what journalist Momen Alsharafi said, after having lost 21 members of his family, that he is so worried about what will happen after the war.

"The question that haunts me is what should I do then? After the war, after the work pressure ends, in my free time, what should I do? What should I work on? How do I fill my free time? It's going to be long. No brothers, no sisters, no father or mother, not even the children I used to play with, my nieces and nephews."

This is going to be the reality of tens of thousands of people in Gaza who had lost everyone. Who will they go to for comfort? Who will be there to help them through? Who will they visit on holidays?

Israeli crimes aren't just what's happening at this moment, their impact is for a lifetime. Fuck israel.

With eurovision starting up soon, this is your annual reminder that eurovision's support of the Israeli apartheid state actively harms Palestinians by permissing its settler colonialism and genocide. Boycott eurovision. Free Palestine.

i'm seeing people losing hope for palestine i'm begging you seriously please don't. the death toll is high but there are still people alive, there are still journalists risking everything to make sure the world sees what is happening. please continue protesting if you have the option to, keep demanding for a ceasefire and keep talking about palestinians both alive and dead. you have to keep going until the very end or else you really did fail them.

“It Is Not So Much For Its Beauty That The Forest Makes A Claim Upon Men’s Hearts, As For That Subtle

“It is not so much for its beauty that the forest makes a claim upon men’s hearts, as for that subtle something, that quality of air that emanation from old trees, that so wonderfully changes and renews a weary spirit.”

― Robert Louis Stevenson
