This is madness and incompetence.

Amen. War is a total systemic failure.

Legit. Zionism using Judaism as a shield has made gestures around exceptionally dangerous for Jewish people.

First I've ever heard that term - what do you mean by hex code? Is this a logistics thing?

If this weren't a global moment of systemic realization - sure. From a cynical, "always bet on the null" perspective, sure, but I can't agree it boils down to drama.

Something deeper is happening. I'm seeing people who I know for certain wouldn't know the context of/around settler-colonialism start to synthesize that information into their own national and local contexts.

Something is happening. People are learning - I don't think the genie is going back in the bottle. Thank god. All that's left is for people to learn how simple individual praxis can be to start doing and suddenly we're looking at something very, very wide.

That's old wisdom right there. God - it's been so long since I thought about the rules...

If we could avoid another "oops, all Taliban" outcome though, that would be grand.

Or drilling oil

Yeah, God, that's a difficult position to be put in.

Sorry man - you shouldn't have to make choices like that... if you do have to take it, I'd try to ease my concious by redirecting their money. Like, I did that when I had to work for a for-profit contract company staffing Australias social services. KPIs for welfare phone lines staffed by undertrained whoevers. They'd penalise us for taking the time to help vulnerable people. Disgusting company - left the second I could afford to. I put something aside for local mutual aids and environmental groups.

God man - I'm sorry, that just sucks.

Good luck. Hope you can avoid Raytheon.

Meanwhile, as schools and hospitals are left chronically underfunded...

Huh - the more you know, thanks

And Australia has a lot of US onshore bases. Cool cool cool.

Yeah, that's not how you stop apartheid and ethnic cleansing...
