The Palestinians of Gaza have nothing. They are completely reliant on international aid in order to survive. They are literally some of the poorest people on the planet, and Israel has systematically destroyed their ability to produce their own necessities for themselves.

The Western coalition destroying Gaza has everything. They have high tech weapons, most of the worlds wealth, and leadership positions in the UN. And they have all of the political power associated with that.

This contrast is no accident. It is a mere microcosm of a fundamental feature of the capitalist world-system itself.

"It establishes an accumulation of misery, corresponding with accumulation of capital. Accumulation of wealth at one pole is, therefore, at the same time accumulation of misery, agony of toil slavery, ignorance, brutality, mental degradation, at the opposite pole, i.e., on the side of the class that produces its own product in the form of capital."

The US-EU-Israeli coalition doesn't have the right to defend itself from the militancy that its own project of colonial oppression created in the first place.

Hamas is not "absolute evil". It is a product of the political and economic conditions that the US empire created through its proxy, Israel.

The genocide in Gaza, while it is nominally an Israeli project, is actually an international effort that is being planned in cooperation with the United States and executed with both US and European weapons.

IOF soldiers train on UK army bases. Germany gives the IOF their guns. And America gives the IOF money.

The Gaza genocide is not an issue of civilized Europeanized/Western-aligned Jews vs the barbaric Arabian hordes, like Zionists and fascists everywhere like to claim (the subtext is enough, even though almost nobody says it aloud)

The Gaza genocide is an issue of the far right sacrificing dignity, decency, and common sense on the altar of ethnosupremacy, colonial subjugation, and territorial expansionism.

The people of Gaza deserve the same human dignity that you do and I do, even those people that decide to join Hamas. Because they are human beings.

People who commit atrocities deserve the chance to prove their innocence or put their actions in a broader context, if only to ensure you've gotten the right guy. We even gave this dignity to the fucking Nazi Germans.

Ignoring the obvious political-economic developments that are the direct antecedents to the Gaza genocide in a historical and materialist perspective for a bit, the Gaza genocide is simply indefensible from a basic human standpoint.

You cannot defend the mass murder of entire families. You cannot defend the racist attitudes of Israeli government officials. And you cannot defend the systematic erasure of a people.

The Gaza genocide is not just motivated by ideology.

Like everything in this world, there is more than one dimension to it. The superstructure does not exist in isolation, it only exists in terms of the political-economic base of society.

The Gaza genocide is motivated by the political and economic situation faced by the state of Israel, including their political crisis they faced in the early 2020s, the burden of "mowing the lawn" on the Israeli economy and state budget, and the physical resources that Gaza possesses (including land, natural gas, and coastal space for tourism and a sea port).

The entire endgame is a Gaza purged of its residents.

The Israeli state and its surrogate metropole, the United States of America, are seeking to exploit Gaza economically to enrich themselves, at the ultimate price to Gaza's inhabitants (who are themselves some of the poorest people on the planet)

In a world that sees human beings as a commodity to be rented out, any variation in humanity is seen as a defect in a product.

ADHD would not be seen as a disease to be treated in a society that inherently respects and accommodates the limitations of human beings, instead of treating human beings as an economic input for private capitalists.

The reason that autism and ADHD are pathologized in our society, is because they are impediments to the standardization and trade of human labor.

An autistic or ADHD person has inherent differences in mental functioning that are difficult for capital to accommodate.

In ‘Star Wars’ [1977], simple farm boy Luke Skywalker is radicalised by a bearded religious fanatic and joins a terrorist organisation, then carries out a deadly terror attack on a government facility, murdering thousands.

"The online left has spent the last 20 months distributing hundreds of photos and videos of dead Palestinian children. The main effect of this has been to create a population of people in a constant state of bloodboiling rage with no consequential political outlet. I fear this may be worse than useless"

This is absolutely the worst ever take. Period.

Eisenhower's soldiers took pictures of the Nazi concentration camps. Journalists in Bosnia recorded picture evidence of the genocide that happened there. There is documented proof of Pol Pot's killing fields. Yet we don't accuse them of "inducing rage" against the Nazis, or the Serbian ultranationalists, or the Khmer Rouge.

Video and photographic evidence of genocide is important to share, as a way of inducing the change in popular opinion required to stop it.

Russia didn't hack the election. They used literally the same tactics as many corporations use.

Adspace and sock puppets aren't really unusual. The entire capitalist Internet as it currently stands is designed for influence campaigns.

Advertising is a weapon of mass deception that is honed by capitalists in order to increase their profits.

Every single ad that tells you to buy stuff is itself a part of a wider corporate influence campaign to change your behavior. Facebook makes its money off of these corporate influence campaigns.

"Russian hacking" is a thought terminating cliche that liberals use to avoid the uncomfortable truth of the matter: capitalism profits off of manipulation and trickery, and more broadly creates the very environment needed for the implementation of fascism.

If you aren't your own system administrator, then you are the system being administrated.

We should boycott Israel except for explicitly anti-imperialist organizations that oppose the policy of the Zionists.
