I obviously have none, so I’d like to see if I can mooch off of you lol.

Please don’t leave any pessimistic top level comments. Or do, I’m not your mom 🤷‍♂️.

    Yes. Because they got greedy and tried to do the fast grab, they got the average person’s attention and we actually have a chance.

    I just watched a Guardian short of Tel Aviv, where thousands (their number) are marching in the streets ahead of the Israeli elections, wanting Netanyahu out. What was most telling were the people they stopped to talk with, who all seem aware of just how involved Netanyahu was in the events of October 7 and keeping the war going: the people marching want peace in their region, and they recognize that Bibi is war. One guy was saying something like, “We’ve been through October 7th, and the fact that the government that is responsible for it are even running again is insane. They should have been gone like the day after.”

    It’s a far cry from the nationalistic shit we get fed daily on the other side of the world, to say the least. People are waking up. And the more they do, the better chance we have.

      I think a lot of what they are doing has been planned for decades but it does feel rushed. All of the war mongering factions are making moves like they won’t be able to do it if they don’t act now. Thankfully a lot of their structures are controlled by incompetent fools and nepo babies

      They know the world is going to change a lot over the next few decades and they want to control that as much as possible. I sometimes wonder if they know something major is coming, like the gulf stream clasping or another major climate event.

      When the people stand as one there won’t be much they can do. They are quite adept at keeping us fighting each other though

        I don’t think they could’ve ever made it this far if they didn’t rush. There’s no logic to their endpoint, and many of their coalition members are motivated by urgency and immediate results. Anyone who was asked to slow down, or given a moment to think through the logic, would’ve turned against them.
