So Mark "Total Fraud" Carney is saying out-loud that he condemns Israel's [nazi-level barbarism and racist sadism] actions in Gaza. But Mark Carney is a total fraud. His strong words aren't backed up by the sorts of actions that would reflect a proper response to any country committing a genocide by starvation and bullets and bombs.
Remember: Canada has sanctions on the country of Venezuela but not Israel. We continue to have a free trade deal with Israel and we continue to send them weapons to carry out their genocide.
This is disgusting. It is sickening. I have written many angry emails to various Liberal genociders. I plan on producing artworks that call out these people as nazis. Caitlin Johnstone asked if this is supposed to be the new normal:
So what’s the plan here? Do we just sit and watch Israel starve Gaza to death with the support of our own governments?
And then what? We just go along with our lives, knowing that that happened? That this is what we are as a society? That our civilization is comfortable allowing something like that to happen? And that our rulers could do the same thing to another inconvenient population at any time?
We’re just meant to be cool with that? And go on living like it’s normal?
I’m genuinely curious. How exactly is everyone planning to go about living their lives after that point? How does that work, exactly?
I’m asking because I don’t know. I mean, I know what my own government and its allies should do, but I don’t know what we as ordinary members of the public are supposed to do.
Ian Welsh lays out the significance of our societies' open participation in mass-murder and genocide and the persecution of any of those who speak or act out against this genocide:
This is genocide. It is entirely deliberate and being done with the aid of most of the Western world. We now know that our leaders, had they been Germans in the 30s and 40s, would have gone along with the Holocaust and in many cases, enthusiastically participated. We also know that most of our journalists would have provided cover, along with most of our pundits. (Yglesias is a good example as is almost everyone at the New York Times, BBC, Washington Post and so on.) Britain, Germany and America in particular have gone after anti-genocide activists hard.
Out entire elite class is not just OK with genocide, they’re onside and actively helping it.
If you think they wouldn’t do it to you, you’re in lalaland. They’ve proved they are OK with mass murder, and even if you’re white, don’t think it would save you. Look at Trump’s massive health care and food cuts, or Labour’s Starmer taking away aid from disabled people and cutting off heating for old folks, not to mention both being completely callous towards the exploding number of homeless people. In America far more homes are empty than there are homeless people, yet all the vast majority of politicians do is criminalize homelessness more and more.
You aren’t even the dirt beneath your elites’ fingertips. The only reason you aren’t Soylent Green yet is they haven’t been able to figure out how to make it pay. But your deaths mean nothing to them if they have any reason to kill you, no matter how slight. Your suffering isn’t a consideration either. They’ve spent 50 years systematically reducing pensions, health care and increasing poverty so they could make themselves richer.
I get notifications of another protest or petition for Gaza. I've attended about five such things. [More than five. Less than ten.] Which is to say I've wandered about Toronto streets for an hour listening to some narcissistic blowhard leading stupid chants.
Token protest.
"At least we did something."
The same sort of useless bullshit the left in North America insists upon doing as things continue to deteriorate thereby revealing the uselessness of such empty protests to anyone with the eyes to see it.
If the heavy-hitters of the activist left ever come up with a genuine CAMPAIGN of sustained disruption and sustained outreach to people who cannot be described as "the usual suspects" when protests are concerned, I'll be there.
I've always said that the average person, were they to be informed about what is happening by an actual information system (as opposed to a propaganda system) they would be outraged by this. There was more outpouring of "support" for the nazi regime in Ukraine when it was attacked by Russia than I have heard about the Palestinians in Gaza. That's because our propaganda media was given the green light to go hog-wild "reporting" on Russia's invasion of Ukraine. Since our propaganda system isn't going to do that, anti-genocide activists should have gone door-to-door dropping off literature and talking to people in the streets to sign petitions and to raise their awareness and maybe get protests in the numbers that the police can't intimidate them.
The average person doesn't see very far, but if you put something right in front of them, at least ninety-percent of them will respond appropriately.
But for some reason we didn't do that. Or we relied on "social media" to do it. Forgetting the obvious fact that people's social media experiences are isolated bubbles of pet-grooming videos, celebrity gossip and family and friend conversations.
Strategy and tactics must be suitable for the cause. Desperate times call for desperate measures. "These are the times that try men's souls."
