It was nice honestly. Not much of the woke stuff. People there from all ages, races and religions. Also some Israelis/Jews.

huge gaza protest in my city today

I didn’t read all of it but it was well written. But i read you wrote about exhaustion and no clear way out. I think the clear way out for Iran is BRICS aka China and Russia. Who are competing with the US for dominance. So it’s where the rubber meets the road.

^ This in southern Italy. I give it a 9 of 10 it’s very crispy and creamy i ate two of those in the afternoon and now feel a bit sick.

Yesterday i was there.

I think if China was more open of criticism from the outside and inside it would actually make them stronger and more trustworthy.

They are so afraid of criticism. That’s their biggest weakness imo.

I think whenever they can be authoritarian and crush on peoples opinions (when they have enough power) they do it. They have proven it time and time again. Even in Europe and elsewhere they try to stop criticism.

And more crushing of freedom of thought and criticism.

The comment section of Ben Shakira videos right now is wild

Don’t be so angry, pal. And stop saying people should get banned, buddy.

Yup.

What is this naive thinking? Trump doesn’t hold that much power. It’s others making those decisions. And they will decide if it’s worth it to roll the dice in Iran.

This may all be true but this “opportunity” may be so divisive even for republicans. Is it America first or Israel first? For Europe and US relations. And so on that it might not be worth it. Because even regime change is only a roll of the dice. I think Iran will get nukes either way sooner or later.

Yea the US supported many right wing dictatorships and they support the Saudis and so on. It’s just the either you’re with us or against us thing. Which makes sense the US has interests to protect and so on. But then others have different interests.

Bought and framed this Kali picture Kali stand for: Goddess of Time and Change: Kali represents the unstoppable nature of time—everything that is born must die and be transformed. She governs the cycle of creation, preservation, and destruction. Destroyer of Evil and Ego: She destroys ignorance, ego, and evil. Her fierce form is symbolic of the inner battle against lower instincts and attachments. Liberator (Moksha Giver): Kali leads her devotees beyond fear and illusion (maya) toward spiritual freedom. Though terrifying in appearance, she is a compassionate mother to those who surrender. Consort of Shiva: She is often seen with or as a form of Parvati, Shiva’s consort, especially in her wrathful aspect. In some traditions, she dances on Shiva’s chest to symbolize the balance of creation and destruction. Time to cut through the bs 🗡️

Because God doesn’t care about your personal feelings and ideas.

I think it’s a mix. The holocaust which there’s a lot of footage from and people feel bad for. Many Israelis have European roots and history. Israel is “democratic” with free press lgbt rights and so on. Israel has good tech and science. Often the goals of US, UK, Israel align. In terms of western dominance. and the west in some ways has been in conflict for a long time with let’s say Islam. Ottoman empire, Jerusalem. Even the Greeks and the Persians already went at it bc. and so on. But i think it’s slowly changing. Bibi and his bois went too far. The people had enough of it. At some point they are just a liability because of terrorism, bad relations with many countries, refugees and so on. It’s diminishing returns. Some countries like Germany will probably never change their tune because of the holocaust. But others do, Spain, Ireland etc. I think now even many republicans will turn their backs on Israel because they feel “betrayed” in a way for the forever wars and so on. And in a way Israel becomes a scapegoat for US conflicts which the US can blame itself honestly.

I guess we’ll see how China will react when Japan, S.Korea, Philippines, Taiwan get nukes.
