The Ukraine story, the Gaza story, and the Texas border story are all of a piece. Yemen and Iran, Syria, Libya; maybe even Taiwan too.

I think the same can be said about the trajectory of the November elections.

What ties them all together is that The People have finally had enough of the war machine and the fact that the machine’s priorities have so completely corrupted ‘democracy’ and whatever was good about this mixed bag of a way of life.

Almost as if there is only one big story now, about what shape the second American Revolution will take–if any.

I think the most likely thing is that the demos will continue to pin its hopes on electoralism and the vapid face and second term of one Donald John Trump; that they will try to evade the price of revolting by putting stickers on their bumpers and casting their ballots for this tool, whose main redeeming feature is that he’s not Joe Biden, an increasingly malign and hated figure.

On the question of an Empire-supported genocide, the population is split into three almost equal parts. A third say yes, it’s genocide. A third say no. A slightly smaller slice of the whole haven’t made up their minds yet, but they will, and like so many things, they’ll follow the wisdom of their children’s generation.

Among 18-29 year olds, half already say ‘yeah fool, it’s a genocide’. Second place goes to the undecideds. Less than a quarter say ‘oh no, this is just Israel exercising its clear right to defend itself’! (Source)

Pelosi says RUSSIA Behind Ceasefire Protests

Every word out of this evil demon’s mouth is dripping with problems trying to pose as solutions. She whimpers about how we must find a way to stop the killing in Gaza, and in her very next sentence rules out a ceasefire, because of course that’s what Russia wants. It’s almost funny, but the joke is born of deepest Hell.

And she concludes, with a nod to that entire half of young people: Fuck your cognitive dissonance and vote Genocide Joe! Because Trumpity Trumpity Nasty Trump! and for godssake you want to be able to have an abortion someday, right?

If you’d prefer meditative contemplation to ranting screed today, I did put up the second full video of January earlier, just for you.
