Democratic socialist politicians like Cori Bush and Rashida Tlaib are right about the violence in Israel and Palestine: we should both be mourning civilian deaths and calling for an end to the Israeli occupation.
I hope someday, at a minimum, some really impactful social science comes from the timeframe we are experiencing right now.
I’m just constantly baffled by people’s capacity for evil, in the name of a good. Also, people’s willingness to intentionally share delusions with people they unquestionably believe in, frightens the hell out of me. There is a very obvious a conscious choice happening when people are choosing to accept lies as truth.
As horrific as it all continues to be, its also fucking really morbidly fascinating. I remember being a little boy and reading about the horrors of the Holocaust, and failing completely to wrap my mind around how an entire Society could allow things to escalate that way. I want to be somebody who says they still don’t understand it, but I can’t. Because it’s happening right here in front of me, and I see why and how. And I hate it.
