It’s good that people are waking up to the horrific scope of the military industrial complex and the “money” party that has corrupted both political parties into being warmongers. Yet the more I learn about the world and all of the horrific wars and atrocities being carried out, I am less trusting of any narrative that reduces complex problems to good guys vs. bad guys. And in the fight to appropriately protect the Palestinian people and children of Gaza who are subjected to unspeakable trauma and suffering, we’ve abandoned nuance and balanced media coverage. I see both mainstream and indie media doubling down on their views, however justified or not. This leaves us with radicalism on all sides and not many people willing to bridge our differences so we can begin to actually work together instead of amplify our own echo chambers. The war machine will continue to drum on, because the deep state thrives off of keeping people polarized and divided.

And wow, that video on Twitter of the activist proclaiming Hamas aren’t terrorists is totally concerning. @uncommonsince76 quoted Assange on that Twitter thread:

"Our cables reveal that Israel supported Hamas in its infancy, that Hamas was used as an instrument to divide the Palestine Liberation Organization [PLO] and the Palestinian resistance," -Julian Assange

This is a fascinating perspective that I’ve o heard before but don’t know much about.
