Pug Jesus, you always spoil me by the grace of your presence. I hear ya.
You’re too kind! I’m just a bored cripple who pays too much attention to things that make him sad.
With the shit shows I’ve been in the middle of lately, doubly so. I didn’t think as much of this when I first heard it, but this is like the 3rd time I’m hearing it and it feels like someone out there in media thinks this is worth warning about.
Honestly, I don’t think anyone was really expecting this level of… indelicate operations from the Israelis. We’d all gotten ‘used’ to the general oppression and Israeli “Totally guys, we use responsible and discriminate military force in Gaza” excuses, and now it just feels very… mask off. I suspect some apparatchiks in the Israeli government are pissed right now that so much PR work to enable a quiet genocide is being flushed down the drain.
I don’t want this war to come back here but maybe it was always inevitable. Just so you know, rifle plates and carriers are relatively cheap. <3
Argh. As fucked as things are, I tell myself of all the crisis moments we’ve had to deal with, the country only dissolved into civil war once. One hopes that once was enough - and that the alternative isn’t worse.
If you haven’t already listened to it of course. I think it’s a pretty fun and zany, post revolt schism, sort of cyber punkish/ anti christofascist romp.

I’ve started to wonder if corruption on the global scale hasn’t made all the superpowers incompetent. The US covid response, J6, the current shitshow, and a lack of response to the Republican obstructionism has really lowered my opinion of how robust our government stateside is. I’m unsure that another civil war here would really even be recognizable as such outside maybe fights evolving between cities, states, and the federal government. Probably raids back and forth from those not in the middle. Attacks on supply lines and infrastructure. Who knows really.
Very few see these conflicts for what they really are anyway, (which by my reckoning is) the beginning of the climate wars.
I guess at least we’ve got the brains on our side and that makes things a little more hopeful. And the blessings of his holy Pugness of course.

Maybe something to pass the time then? https://www.iheart.com/podcast/1119-after-the-revolution-82966686/
