yeah, apathy and cynicism are virulent within the west, but i don't know how someone, regardless of class or ideology, cannot feel disgusted on a daily basis through their interaction with capitalism, especially when being inundated by pernicious propaganda that bombards the senses on the eve of a massive military invasion
#163
if the US bombs Syria we'll literally be siding with Al-Qaeda and Iran might attack Israel so uhh....maybe theres a silver lining??

iran's not going to attack anyone.

War fever is exciting, thrilling even



No dictator, not even Stalin or Hitler, deserved a Tomahawk missile down his throat more than Bashar Assad.



Going to war against Mr. Assad cannot be justified merely as revenge, as sweet as that might be

Vatican blasts West for planning war against Syria despite UN probe

August 27, 2013 07:17 PM

VATICAN CITY: The Vatican's official daily on Tuesday criticised global powers for preparing possible military action against Syria despite an ongoing U.N. investigation into an alleged chemical weapons attack near Damascus.

"The tones are becoming ever more drastic and the action being taken by the United Nations appears subjected to a sort of crossfire," the newspaper said.

"Various international actors appear no longer to consider the investigation a determining factor," it said, adding that "what commitment there was" to a negotiated settlement "appears to be dying out".

The Vatican's permanent observer at the United Nations in Geneva, Monsignor Silvano Tomasi, last week cast doubt on the Syrian regime's responsibility for the apparent chemical attack in the suburbs of Damascus.

The Vatican is against any armed intervention, pointing to the havoc caused by the U.S.-led war to topple Saddam Hussein in Iraq in 2003.

fuck you?


why are these personal attacks. what does this accomplish. the unending domination and murder of people by the current order is like a constant terrifying noise and i tune it out so that i can function in a sort of detached ok state.

what is the point of your care. what are you doing with it other than getting mad in a forum thread. like what if 5000 people get gassed tomorrow and 5000 every day after that for the next year. no one will care enough. nothing is going to change. it's all theater. I am surprised we even get to find these things out. do you think Bradley Manning actually did change his gender? do we even know if any of that's real? how do we really know? is everything false flag bullshit all the time? how does trying to tease the truth out help me function? I can't stop it and neither can you. I am going to move out to a farm one day and have some sheep and provide for my family and try to have a life without thinking about the constant disgusting shit that is done every day around the world. what else can you really do. how can I give a shit about every terrible thing that happens. it's all terrible. it's been terrible for a very long time. more people got murdered for nothing. I have to remain numb or it is just a constantly overwhelming scream-vomit of unintelligible horror. I can't even watch movies where suffering is depicted let alone come to real human terms with the pointless snuffing-out of thousands of lives in the most violent ways.

so fuck you too.

1. have you considered drugs
2. engaging with reality is the only way to change it
3. historically speaking, the current order is not a huge aberration. past orders also used deception, lies, and violence, though the tools of obfuscation may not have been quite as sophisticated
4. can i stay at your farm

yo rhizzone discussion is like as detached as can be to begin with, but anyway i and probably others too i guess can function in a non-detached ok state even while reading threads about syria, so there's that too

it's brown moses (lol) but welp:

related: http://brown-moses.blogspot.co.uk/2013/08/more-videos-emerge-of-chemical-attack.html

Although it's still possible this didn't come from political circles but was only ordered by certain circles of the military:

"Last Wednesday, in the hours after a horrific chemical attack east of Damascus, an official at the Syrian Ministry of Defense exchanged panicked phone calls with a leader of a chemical weapons unit, demanding answers for a nerve agent strike that killed more than 1,000 people. Those conversations were overheard by U.S. intelligence services, The Cable has learned. And that is the major reason why American officials now say they're certain that the attacks were the work of the Bashar al-Assad regime -- and why the U.S. military is likely to attack that regime in a matter of days.

But the intercept raises questions about culpability for the chemical massacre, even as it answers others: Was the attack on Aug. 21 the work of a Syrian officer overstepping his bounds? Or was the strike explicitly directed by senior members of the Assad regime? "It's unclear where control lies," one U.S. intelligence official told The Cable. "Is there just some sort of general blessing to use these things? Or are there explicit orders for each attack?"

Nor are U.S. analysts sure of the Syrian military's rationale for launching the strike -- if it had a rationale at all. Perhaps it was a lone general putting a long-standing battle plan in motion; perhaps it was a miscalculation by the Assad government. Whatever the reason, the attack has triggered worldwide outrage, and put the Obama administration on the brink of launching a strike of its own in Syria. "We don't know exactly why it happened," the intelligence official added. "We just know it was pretty fucking stupid.""

In the defiant words of Shaggy, it wasn't me.

#188
in high school i knew two kids, they cut school one day and were walking down the street. a teacher was in a public bus and saw them as it drove by. so the teacher turned them in. the two of them steadfastly claimed it wasn't them and that the teacher must have been mistaken. one of them was like a 5'4 dude with red hair and a giant beard and his buddy was a 6' indian guy. their defense worked and they got off. yeah you thought it was us but it was probably some other red bearded short guy and big indian dude duo. in other words shaggy was right
