On March 31, 1977 in the Dutch newspaper Trouw, in an interview with PLO executive committee member, Zahir Muhsein said: “The Palestinian people does not exist. The creation of a Palestinian state is only a means for continuing our struggle against the state of Israel for our Arab unity. In reality today there is no difference between Jordanians, ‘Palestinians’, Syrians and Lebanese. Only for tactical reasons do we speak today about the existence of a Palestinian people, since Arab national interests demand that we posit the existence of a distinct ‘Palestinian people’ to oppose Zionism.”

The “George bush is actually a decent great guy!” And “Obama is so cool he talk about music and make joke!” Crowds are nauseating. How could you ever think of any president that way. The celebrity worship stuff that extends to politicians like Bush, Obama, AOC, Kamala and RBG is honestly horrifying. Celebrities in general don’t deserve that but when you’re throwing it out to people that have devastated the planet with war and corruption and greed it’s so much worse. Why is that a thing. Why is it people can just ignore every bad thing their politicians have done. Why is it they have stars in their eyes looking at these horrible horrible people. I will never understand.

I love how ridiculously ambiguous it is when the media blame things on “Russians.”

Citizens? Government? Someone who lives there? Someone who has very loose ties to Russia? Doesn’t matter. It was “Russians.”

And to what end? Doesn’t matter either. Or is deliberately unknown.

Every time I'm forced to view a television advertisement, I marvel at the sheer psychic violence that some people willingly subject themselves to. Watching the sublime act of creation being used to sell someone car insurance never stops being vulgar in ways I lack the vocabulary to describe.

I don’t know how many times we have to explain this to these neoliberal idiots but the reason why no one is taking about it is because admitting the lockdowns were a terrible idea hurts the Democrats and makes it harder for them to do it again

There are loads of people who have been talking about it, but most of them aren’t in Dan’s woke hugbox.
