@HeavenlyPossum honestly i think it's a little bit too convenient ( maybe even a cop-out 🤣 ) tto say anyone who goes tankie was "never really an anarchist", i've seen a lot of people go from anarchist to tankie, it has to do with complex social and psycological processes, it also has to do with how well they judge anarchism to serve them in their political goals -- sure maybe they didn't have a deep understanding of anarchist theory, or maybe they did and decided they just didn't agree with it
personally i don't like the term 'ego-com" and it seems like a certain kind of meme ideology, like anarchism always mixes communism and individualism to a certain degree, if Emma Goldman was obvs an ego-com, well it's not anything special or new it's just *anarchism", and people attracted to such meme ideologies tend to be very impressionable, and the meat grinder of online debate culture doesn't help
also, dbzero is itself a very strange project politically, started by some creepy AI art firm with ties to nivenly, so beware of taking their side against hexbear, these are 2 astroturfed psuedo radical spaces generated drama so as to datamine leftists, probably
uspol doom@ciggysmokebringer seems there's a very big possibility that even if trump loses ( which is likely but not garunteed ) the Supreme Court Will Appoint trump president, they've been signalling this all year, do you think the Biden Admin will be able to handle that crisis? i sure as fuck don't
Israel, October 7thI do not agree with the editorial line of Electronic Intifitada, but according to this article which cites investigations from the UN, Hareetz and others, Israel immediately invoked the "Hannibal Directive" on October 7 and intentionally killed hundreds of Israeli citizens to prevent them from being taken hostage.
- Israel expanded the use of its murderous “Hannibal Directive” – designed to prevent soldiers from being taken alive as prisoners of war – by killing many of its own civilians. - The use of such “Hannibal” strikes are confirmed in a UN report published in June. - Fire from Israeli helicopters, drones, tanks and even ground troops was deliberately undertaken in order to prevent Palestinian fighters from taking live Israeli captives who could be exchanged for Palestinian prisoners. - At the initiative of the local Gaza Division, “Hannibal” was carried out right away: less than an hour after the Palestinian offensive began. - “Not a single vehicle can return to Gaza,” the division was ordered at 11:22 am. - By midday, an unambiguous order was given from the high command of the Israeli military (the so-called “Pit” headquarters, deep under Israel’s Hakirya building in downtown Tel Aviv) to invoke the Hannibal Directive throughout the entire region, “even if this means the endangerment or harming of the lives of civilians in the region, including the captives themselves.” - This bombing of Israeli captives by Israel continues in Gaza even today. - Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu admitted in a December meeting with released captives and families of captives that they had been “under our bombardments” in Gaza. - Hundreds of Israelis were likely killed by Israel itself in “Hannibal” targeting incidents as well as unintentional crossfire. - Israel has been engaged in an aggressive cover-up of its crimes against its own people.
