Israel is deliberately starving Gaza to ‘defend’ itself from Hamas. They are blocking humanitarian aid shipments. Edit: i made this comment in the wrong place.
It bears repeating.
I think this is the correct place
Leave it. It’s the truth.
And even ‘defence from Hamas’ is a false pretense for it a all, they just want the land & to end there being any Palestinians in “their” county.
the TRUMP family has invested in real estate there, including the KUSHNERS.
If those children could grow up they’d be very upset
how do you think today’s fighters ended up that way?
Precisely
Fuck Israel, genocidal scum!
Was trying to think what kind of weird macabre thought experiment this is then I realized it’s describing current events.
Damn…
… ok, but let’s leave horrors beyond human comprehension (tho not implementation) & focus on the ‘macabre thought experiment’.
What if human babies had extreme insatiable appetite, and the more they got fed the more of everything they would eat, including any other humans in the vicinity?

Pushing little children
With their fully automatics
They like to push the weak around

Album: Toxicity
Released: 2001
Such a great song.
All of their songs are. It just occurred to me that SoaD might be one of the most political bands out there, up there with RatM. Which made me curious if there were many right wing fans that complained about them getting political because they didn’t realize they were saying that all along. And of course there were.
Guess it’s why Cobain sang about it over 30 years ago.
He’s the one who likes all our pretty songs…
Though now I’m wondering what bands I’ve enjoyed without realizing they were fascist leaning lol.
What’s more interesting is how Left Wing their song are, their drummer is a deep right winger
Seems like he’s fallen for the illusion that someone who opposes lies must themself represent the truth.
He’s def got a thing going on. One hell of a drummer. Wonder what the band dynamic is off stage. Do they all just stay apolitical? do they grief each other? They’re still working in some way that I can’t fathom, good for them i suppose.
There’s probably a lot of “shut up and drum, dipshit” going on around there.
Though now I’m wondering what bands I’ve enjoyed without realizing they were fascist leaning lol.
Sadly i think Tool may fit that description…
Never listened to them but last names like that it’s not surprising. Armenia has been in a rough spot politically for a long time now
You should give them a listen. Their sound is amazing and I can’t really blame people for enjoying without really listening to the words. It wouldn’t surprise me if you hear some and realize you’ve known them for decades without realizing.
My top ones: Toxicity, Deer Dance, Aerials, Chop Suey, Spiders, Lost in Hollywood, BYOB, Hypnotize
Chop Suey was named that because the original name of Righteous Suicide would get the song banned.
Righteous Suicide or Self-righteous Suicide? Haven’t heard anything about it either way, but asking because the second is in the lyrics and would be more apt.
Though IMO Chop Suey is an even better name because of the imagery it conjures combined with the meaning of the song. It’s pretty graphic like a holy fuck moment when you connect the dots.
You’re correct. Self-righteous suicide.
Did some digging and while there are some right leaning bands on my “I’ve enjoyed their music” list, none of them came as a surprise, like Leonard Skynyrd, Kid Rock, Five Finger Death Punch.
Guess self-awareness isn’t equal between right and left wings. Which is maybe even illustrated by being curious about this in the first place. Or maybe I’m overgeneralizing my own experience lol.
I think you’re right. Rage Against the Machine apparently pissed off some conservative fans by opposing Trump.
John Dolmayan is a Trump supporter. Self-awareness doesn’t have to be bipartisan.
As a left winger, I’m probably more okay with listening to a song by an artist that doesn’t represent my views as long as it’s not too crazy and I’m not actively supporting them.
Imo art has value regardless of its source.
Right wingers for some reason feel betrayed. I guess to them it’s about not crossing tribes rather than going where their inspiration takes them.
Yeah, I can relate to that.
I think another part of it is that the art itself isn’t often overtly political. Maybe that even plays into the sense of betrayal because of how often the politics they support aren’t ones that can be talked about openly and they feel like since they avoid saying what they are thinking, everyone else should also.
It’s a minefield, to be sure. SoaD’s John Dolmayan is a Trump supporter.
Yeah, I guess it’s important to remember bands aren’t monoliths and some members themselves might even be the subject of In Bloom. And even having some leanings on particular topics doesn’t mean agreement on all topics.
That kinda makes me want to form a 9-piece band called “Monolith” that includes:
An auth left
An auth center
An auth right
A left center
A centrist
A right center
A lib left
A lib center
And a lib right
First concert starts WW3.
20 years later, the survivors get nostalgic for concert wars.
“Sure, it set us back a few thousand years, but how awesome was it when the lead guitarist impaled Rand Paul, Mike Pence, and Xi Jinping all in one go?”
“Yeah, I guess that was pretty cool. I do miss potable water, though. Anyway, what’s your favorite song?”
“Probably ‘All you need is love, a diversified portfolio, a Judeo-Christian ethic and the means of production.’”
“I found it a little wordy, but it does get its point across.”
These kids have a hatred for those who bomb and starve em, bunch of antisemites, if they grow up chances are they’ll take revenge, that’s why they need to be starved now. Makes a lot of sense /s
Yeah, but what if all the children were Hitler?
The irony is that Israel, through the genocide of Palestine is indeed creating antisemitism. I never gave Israel a second thought until they started murdering and starving civilians and children. All for what, so tRump can build a big beautiful golf course? The Palestinian children may not grow up to be Hitlers, the Hitlers are alive and well in Israel.

Pretty sure that has been the situation in Gaza since… 6 June 1967.
Mostly it’s so that Netenyahu can maintain his grip on power. The golf course is just the laughably simple bribe to get trump, and thus the American UN veto power, on board, to continue aiding and abetting the egregious war crimes carried out against Palestinian civilians every single day by these Israeli monsters.
I think the UN should kick the US out.
The UN has no teeth or balls.

Oh it goes a few decades into the past… Trump wasn’t even in the picture yet…
antisemitism
You sound rather pro-semite
Edit: you do realize that Palestinians are semites?
Maybe just take them away from their abusive parents, keep them out of the horrors of WWI and provide a better society for them to grow up and live in which isn’t facing crippling post war sanctions. For as evil as Hitler turned out, a lot of that was probably shaped by the environment he grew up and lived in. And the environment in which he rose to prominence and power was not something he set up. While it might seem an easy solution to snuff out baby Hitler, and in no way am I trying to excuse what Hitler did, it’s entirely possible that someone else would have done the same things, if Hitler didn’t exist.
If we want to not have horrible, mass murdering fuck-heads, we need to create societies which don’t promote the creation and elevation of mass murdering fuck-heads.
…or Drump, or Bibi…
Hey every child starved to death is one less potential person to resist our genocidal aims.
What if you’re on a Lord of the Flies situation and hiding the food like a greedy little piggy
You’re gonna get brained with a rock.
Hearasay, your honour.

And killing journalists, targeting diplomats…
