It will take continuous work. As can be seen in America all protests against the IDF murdering people in Gaza stopped very quickly when AIPAC ordered congress to stop and cops did their bidding. Anyone's guess what will happen with the new Administration coming in. Huckabee is already talking about a "Greater Israel adn no longer even mentions Gaza adn the West Bank, saying that they do not exist that it is all Israel. Trump is still a wild card, not knowing what he will do in regards to the Middle East.

Makes me sick how westerners (can only speak for the US, though) accepted the rise and consolidation of the corporation without a care in the world and now we will all get to live under its grinding boot heel until it destroys itself. Degrading is right. (I actually walked away from my tenured academic position one year before I could have taken early retirement and at least gotten health insurance until my death as well as a rather pathetic monthly stipend - I did this because I could not take the total degradation and ignominy of forced submission to the corporate and NGO takeover of higher education any longer.

If you will change, things will change for you. Bottom line, democracy requires more than not voting and complaining, more than voting once every few years.

Finkelfraud actually has limited influence due to the fact that he alienates everyone he works with. He fell out with Chomsky, and is also seen as damaged goods by many Palestinians because of his position on BDS. He seems to have this infantile desire for martyrdom, and genuinely believes that he is possessed of a unique and unparalleled moral insight because a large number of his family died in the H*locaust. I see him as a bit of a damaged narcissist with mother issues, and certainly not as a serious intellectual.

Palestine is an area of ​​more than 27 thousand square kilometers and is on the borders of Egypt and Jordan, which historically is part of Palestine and the people of Jordan, more than 70 percent of whom are of Palestinian origin, but Britain made them a state and brought agents to the Jordanian ruling dynasty in order to rule Jordan and protect the occupation from the Jordanian-Palestinian people Palestine Its capital, Jerusalem, is the land of the Palestinian people for tens of thousands of years. It is the cradle of Christianity and Judaism, and it is the third holiest place for us Muslims. It is a land where most of God’s prophets lived, were born, and died. It is the holy and blessed land and the land of the Palestinian and Arab people. Muslims, Jews, and Christians lived there for thousands of years as neighbors and brothers before the Zionists occupied our land. Britain brought them in the Balfour Declaration to occupy our land. Those who committed the Holocaust against the Jews were the Germans and the West, not me.Yes, my dear brothers, my beloved Palestine is the cradle of Christianity and Judaism, and it contains Al-Aqsa, the third holiest place for us Muslims in Palestine. Bethlehem, the cradle of Christ, is a blessed land, and it is the holy land, and it has been our land for tens of thousands of years, and it is the land of the Canaanite Arabs, the original Palestinian people, and they have lived in it since the Islamic conquest in the era. The Umayyad, Abbasid and Ottoman Arabs, Muslims, Christians and Jews are like brothers and neighbors under Palestinian rule to the owners of the land, but the Zionists came and the British occupation brought them to our land as compensation to the Jews for what they did to them Hitler. The question here is that who did the Holocaust, the Germans, why do I, the Palestinian Arab, pay the price? Why not Germany? Why do I, the Muslim, pay the price for crimes? Committed by the Germans and Nazi Europe, fascism is the root of all evil in the world. Our problem is the occupation

Love Norman but a small correction. Actually, I think the song with lyrics "pie in the sky" was written by the labor leader Joe Hill. Understandable that he might mistake it since Guthrie sang the song at union meetings. Joe Hill was of course murdered, and a great rendition of the song Joe Hill can be found here sung by a communist and blacklisted legend: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pGmuqaRvqqt3m9U

Light in the sky? Maybe for evangelicals. Harris failed to address real needs of non rich Americans. Just words.

[@hannotn]

I think she let herself be constrained way too much by not differentiating herself from Biden. I had the impression that the real Harris had much bigger plans, but was burdened by not feeling able to put Biden at arm's length. That was probably both good and bad, in that there's such a demonisation of any meaningful entry of left wing policies in the US that, while those are the only ones that aim to and will help the poor and vulnerable, they're easy to attack in the eyes of an uneducated voting public.

[@ralphmumbeck5758]

Excellent. But there is a bigger picture to all of this. _The entire system they favor in the West is based on a pre-set _*_managed and moderated division,_*_ for the benefit of a very few at the top of the pyramids accompanied by the often repeated nice-sounding storyline._ The graphic depiction of Yin and Yang is not only valid about the "good vs bad" dichotomy (Taoism), but can also apply to the model of "UNITY/CONCORD" vs "DIVISION/DISCORD". As the model of Yin and Yang states, there is always some good in the bad, and always some bad in the good, and equilibrium is hard to achieve since human nature tends to allow the pendulum to swing past the point of equilibrium, towards the other pole. Equally, every system based on division per default, always contains some elements of forces of unity. And, the other way around: systems based on the default setting that unity is the main principle, will always contain elements of division. When studying thousands of man-made systems, one reaches the conclusion that some are more "top down" UNITY with some lower tiered "freedoms" allowed in order to keep the peace, whilst others are more "bottom up freedoms" with restrictions applying. Both meet in the middle somewhere, and then try to constantly balance powers between the various factions. A "Republic" is already a "meet-in-the-middle" approach, since it divides power on multiple tiers. *What happened in Europe post-1900 can be juxtaposed onto China's recent relevant history of trying to break free from Western dominated imperialism.* To anybody who knows a bit of Chinese history, it becomes clear that our Western narrative of "WW2" does NOT apply to China, since China was already in a more or less bloody war between outside imperialists and meddlers (dividers of Chinese unity using local proxies). During its Century of Humiliation, China was a classical case of "war/policy/division" by proxy. Proxies were employed, funded, armed, and financed to achieve the division of China during the Era of European Imperialism. *The dividers have it easy.* All they have to do to create regional/global division, is to continuously lie to foster dissent, covertly steal for inequality, always meddle using political favouritism, and eternally instigate violence, by either outright *declaring war* or simply *allowing wars to happen* (not stop these wars, aka "enabling war as eternal event). The local political forces had to compete with outside dividers which had the GEOGRAPHICAL ADVANTAGE of POWER during the 19th and 20th centuries. The local strategists used old strategies to try to re-introduce a fully sovereign China. A union which could be free of outside meddling, completely independent and which was there for Chinese interests first and foremost, and not at the behest of outside imperialist powers and their proxy rule and domination. During these roughly 100 years, the European imperialist powers were later joined by the USA and Japanese imperialist powers, and later Soviet and Western ideologies, all continuously using China as battleground. Trying to overcome the OUTSIDE DIVIDERS by playing the same game of _more_ divisions, with yet _more_ divided Chinese systems, is of course a dumb strategy, because the DIVIDERS will always win. If weak, and while weak, the outside dividers will simply politically capture the rising powers, and morph or incorporate these. Therefore, in order to overcome the outside division, those searching for more internal unity will choose a top-down form of unity, not the bottom-up form of division. You don't fight fire with fire, but with water. *One doesn't fight division with **_more_** division, if the intention is more unity.* Therefore when studying the "WW2" part of the Chinese Century of Humiliation (1839-1947), it becomes clear why the western proxy Chiang-Kai Shek was accused by his allies of "hoarding" his Lend-Lease, and not doing more to fight the Japanese. The local proxies in China during this battle of "post-WW1 China" as yet another link between Ww1 and WW2, were already preparing for the war they KNEW would follow AFTER the Western narrative of "WW2" ended, and the West conveniently disposed of one of these outside proxies (Japan plus local collaborators). That WW2 had already resulted in a weakening of the European powers, for the benefit of whoever was left (grand strategy) was also already clear. *WW1 and WW2 were one global struggle with multiple layers and which merely had a 20 year gap in between.* Do we live in eternal peace interspersed by wars, or do we live in eternal war, interspersed by peace? In the eternal battle between unity/concord and division/discord, it is we who waste our time arguing. *Who is right or wrong?* Is it the "weak" who are right/wrong or the "strong"? Is it some the "the West" or is it some of "the rest"? Is it the "democracies" or is it the "autocracies"? Is it the "attacker" or the "defender"? Is it the "blue team" or the "yellow team". As they point fingers vigorously, arguing their *"my ingroup" against "your ingroup"-dichotomies,* here is one thing the opposites don't realize as they *argue like children.* Who gains from division? Who gains from unity? As they extend themselves, weaken themselves and end up totally exhausted with arguments, they don't realize they are *all* the victims of the biggest lie in history. *Who gains from eternal division?* Qui bono? The finger pointers are at the receiving end of the biggest joke of history, for as they point the finger at someone else to try to pass the blame for their own previous actions, they stumble in broad daylight, and fall for the false prophets who deceive them.

[@redanwrong]

@UlyssesDrax bro, the "democratic" party decided that they weren't even going to let the people vote democratically in the primary's, because it didn't even have a primary election. It decided that Bernie was not allowed to be the candidate in 2020, (look at the caucus system). This is a systemic problem and thus can't be solved by just "removing the bad ones". The person who took over for Nancy Pelosi literally said "Israel today, Israel tomorrow, Israel forever". Do you even know the reference, very intelligent person?

Finkelstein calling someone a 'bully' is actually quite funny. If you see his conduct in the notorious interview with Dershowitz (incidentally somebody I have no time for) or with Destiny, it is textbook bullying. His modus operandi is to shout, talk down, and belittle his opponent.
