Good advice. At least we don't 🫂. Only hate hate.

“The Last Phase before Genocide”
by Gideon Levy
The Jewish state is erecting a ghetto. What a horrifying sentence. It's bad enough the plan was presented as if it could be in any way legitimate – who is for a concentration camp and who is against it? – but from there the path may be shortened to an even more horrific idea: someone might suggest next an extermination camp for those who do not get through the screening process at the ghetto's entrance. Israel is killing Gaza's residents en masse anyway, so why not streamline the process … Someone might also suggest a compact crematorium on the ruins of Khan Yunis, to which admittance, like the nearby ghetto in Rafah, will be purely voluntary. Of course, voluntary, like in the "humanitarian city." Only leaving the two camps will no longer be voluntary. That is what the Minister proposed …
The nature of genocide is that they are not born overnight. One does not wake up one morning and go from democracy to Auschwitz, from civil administration to the Gestapo. The process is gradual. After the dehumanization phase, they move on to demonization … Then comes the fear phase – there are no innocents in the Gaza Strip, October 7 as an existential threat to Israel that could occur again at any moment. After which come the calls to evacuate the population before anyone raises the idea of extermination. We are now in that latter phase, the last phase before genocide. Germany transferred its Jews to the east; the Armenian genocide also began with deportation, which back then was called an "evacuation." Today, we are talking about an evacuation to the south of Gaza …
For years, I have avoided making comparisons to the Holocaust … But nothing prepared us for the idea of the "humanitarian city". Israel no longer has any moral right to use the word "humanitarian." Whoever turned the Gaza Strip into what it is and treats it with equanimity has lost all connection to humanity. Whoever sees only the suffering of the Israeli hostages in the Gaza Strip and fails to see that every six hours the IDF kills as many Palestinians as there are living hostages has lost all of their humanity. If 21 months of seeing the death of babies, women, children, journalists, doctors and other innocents was not enough, the ghetto plan should be turning on all the warning lights. Israel is behaving as if it is planning genocide and expulsion.

"I am compelled to comment on Trump’s new feud with the creators of the adult cartoon show, South Park, because Trump’s actions are likely to make their first show of the 27th Season go viral. For those not familiar with South Park, it has been an equal opportunity offender since it first premiered. The creators of South Park are Trey Parker and Matt Stone. They co-created the show and have served as its main writers, directors, and voice actors since its debut in 1997. No subject or issue has been off-limits. They’ve made fun of Jews, Christians, Muslims, Saddam Hussein, Transgenders, homosexuals, heterosexuals, etc.
In their first episode of Season 27, they go after Donald Trump, Paramount, Sixty Minutes, and Evangelical Christians. Yes, some will be offended by the material. The gist of the plot is that Trump threatens to sue the citizens of South Park, who are upset that Jesus has returned and is attending their children’s school. At a couple of points in the episode, the Trump character is shown naked, with a tiny penis, climbing into bed with Satan. If you are looking for drama or a great story line, don’t watch this show. It is brutal political satire.
So what does Trump do? Instead of ignoring, and even laughing about it, he gets mad and sends out one of his press flacks to attack the show. The White House strongly criticized the South Park premiere episode, with White House spokeswoman Taylor Rogers calling the show “fourth-rate” and accusing it of making a “desperate attempt for attention.” She also charged the political left with hypocrisy, stating they had long criticized South Park for offensive content, but now praised it. Rogers disparaged the show as no longer relevant for over two decades and described it as “hanging on by a thread with uninspired ideas.” Way to focus a spotlight on a show that most Americans don’t watch. Makes me wonder if Trump had a secret deal with Matt and Trey to publicize their show.
Nothing like free publicity, courtesy of Donald Trump. All he had to do was ignore it. Nope. Trump can’t do that. Instead, I think he is now going to help, albeit inadvertently, Paramount win back some of the money it paid out to the President over a lawsuit he brought against 60 Minutes, for election interference. Paramount inked a $1.5 billion deal with the South Park creators last week and Trump’s attack on the show will likely make it go viral. It may become one of the most watched episodes ever. If that happens, Paramount will be rolling in the dough."

"The government has reassured the public there is nothing sinister about age verification, it just wants to keep a record of every porn site you've ever visited. Relax! The people who are losing your data one minute, and selling it to corporations the next, would never misuse your most sensitive information! You can always trust your government...
Age verification laws have come into effect in the UK and are also being trialled in some EU countries; the rest of the EU will soon follow, along with Australia. Excitingly, these countries have come together to build the world's largest masturbation database.
While your leaders could have opted for a one-time verification at the device or browser level, they chose to verify your age at the site level so you must do this over and over again. This is the most convenient and least intrusive way they could have done this.
As a sensible, law abiding adult, I'm sure you will be comfortable having your face scanned and your credit card details and email contacts recorded whenever you want an, ahem, private moment with your laptop. Only people who have something to hide would refuse to have their face scanned while they wank.
Starmer might have U-turned on every manifesto promise he made, but now he is fulfilling the manifesto promise he never made: a mass surveillance masturbation state! This is sure to help him in the polls.
Coincidentally, it's not just your wanking habits that have been impacted by age verification, your exposure to political content has been greatly limited. Social media platforms are giving millions of users the message that they cannot view certain posts until their age has been verified. This means people can no longer view posts about Gaza.
Obviously, this is to protect the children, not the war criminals, you conspiracy theorist! Why would you assume war criminals have an ulterior motive when they say they are protecting children? It's not like these people lie all the fucking time about everything!
Age verification has so far been a roaring success because it has saved zero children, and not only do we have an excuse to hide what's happening in Gaza, we have an ever-growing database of kompromat to bring down our political opponents. Isn't this clever?"

"The Online Safety Act is just the latest in a line of measures to censor people for political speech in the UK and it might be the most draconian yet."

"Just so we’re all absolutely clear about what we’re watching here, Israel is intentionally starving civilians in order to bring about the ethnic cleansing of Gaza and steal a Palestinian territory. That’s all this is, and anyone who says otherwise is lying."

A lot, but maybe not all, you need to know about the Thai-Cambodian conflict. Like always the question is, cui bono?
