  • Its not even nuance now. Israel is just the focal point to maintaining power over the middle east and preserving u.s. interests there.

    For all this Israel/palestine bullshit. For all the ignoring genocide and human suffering and atrocities for literal decades. Lets be honest… horrible shit is happening, but the united states is continuing this route for power over a region. Im not happy about any of it. A shit ton of people arent happy about it.

    But ive got a bad feeling about it. If there was a reason to abandon this, we would have already done it. I dont think after all this, that this is all about greed or individual personal power for politicians. Theres something about the equilibrium of this situation and bigger pieces moving that make this thing more than what it really is. I fucking hope there are files and locksafes on why this is the right course. The usa is in the wrong on face value 100% and losing a lot of popular opinion continuing this route. But they keep doubling down. I fucking want to know why. That should be the question that we are asking. I unfortunately, reluctantly, hope that there is a bigger game we arent privy to as normal citizens.

    I think that the meta game is showing a little bit, where human suffering is consequential to me being a u.s citizen, and where the alternative is so much worse. I sincerely hope this is to avoid something worse, else it is inexcusable.

    The fuck else are we supposed to do?



  • The clone wars series did so much to redeem the prequel trilogy. I remember watching the phantom menace in theater. I loved it. But as i grew older, the flaws and the holes, the cgi,l and clunky dialog really came to the forefront and i fell out of love. But the clone wars gave the star wars universe depth that helps flesh out and maintain relevance of the prequels. I know the novels and old canon comics are the og heros of the star wars universe, but to see something in a television media format really brought it together for me. Ffs, they made maul relevant. And interesting and conflicted too!

    I dont think that the prequels would be remembered as fondly without the clone wars series.
