People had some questions about this so let me expand on three points: 1) what do I mean by “mass psychological consequences,” 2) what do I mean by “the world is ending,” and 3) where do I get off saying 15 years?

I don’t think enough attention is being payed to the mass psychological consequences of everybody knowing the world is ending in like 15 years.

part of the reason that centering the gaza discourse around hamas is so fruitless is that there's no group of people on this planet who, if placed into an open air prison then bombed and starved for decades on end, would not develop militant movements with insular, reactionary politics

Properly memorializing their deaths would mean recognizing that people are still dying.
My *doctor* told me this summer that nobody dies of covid anymore and I had to inform her that my friend's dad had passed just a couple of months prior

I walked by a monument to COVID health care workers on the Hudson River a few weeks ago and realized, "wow, a million people died and nobody even stopped to mourn it."
It was the first time I saw any monument to COVID deaths because we've politicized a million dead people. It's been 3+ years.

I wish we could have an international day of mourning for every life lost. An acknowledgement that we all suffer when anyone suffers and that we cannot be free when someone else is not, and that every life, regardless of whose, is precious. And worthy of our weeping.

The wall has led to an unprecedented increase in migrant injuries and deaths.

Mallick's comments, especially, disgust me beyond belief. If you seriously believe that Stalin and Hitler are remotely comparable, you have done no research into the subject. This blanket anticommunism is achieving its goal: rehabilitating fascists.
A true reckoning with the soft-on-Nazis approach that has become increasingly common in media and politics is long overdue. www.readthemaple.com/canadian-jou...

When I say that Rupert Murdoch is responsible for millions of past, present and future deaths caused by climate catastrophe, it is not hyperbole.
Social murder is murder, and history will not forget this genocide of the global south.

Blows my mind that folks still can't seem to grasp that part of what's driving record low unemployment is the fact that a few more million working age people than normal per year are fucking *dead* now.

This is why Fascism came to be. To reshape the state into the even more deadly and direct bludgeon capitalism needs to enforce this relationship on its subjects.
Nothing works. Airlines. Making movies. College. Retirement. Mass transit. Medicine. Housing.
Everything is a scam, or on its way to becoming a scam.
Nothing works and it’s all by design, because every hitch in the process is another way for the rich to make more money.
