Elites and institutions have not “collapsed.” They have not “changed their tunes.” They have not “failed.” They are not “cowards.”
They were and are simply been focused only on their own self-preservation and profit.
Nothing has changed. They simply made a cost benefit analysis, and fascism wins.

The Freedom Flotilla Coalition has confirmed that the volunteers aboard the Madleen have been kidnapped by Israeli forces.
The coalition is calling on the public to pressure their governments to take immediate action to ensure the safety and release of those on board.

Did we really bring back the long-extinct dire wolves made popular in HBO’s Game of Thrones? Not exactly, says Ontario expert
Experts, including Canadian evolutionary biologist Ashley Reynolds, believes these pups produced by Colossal Biosciences cannot be called a “true” dire wolves.

I'm not sure which video to post--the fifteen paramedics in their last moments as one of them prays amid gunfire, the journalist being burned alive, the man holding a headless toddler, the people blown into the air, or the young man quietly rocking the shrouded body of a child.
