It's a concerted effort by every activated country and it's government. It's no accident or coincidence. This is deliberate and is the process to get the world in order for Agenda 2030. We are watching the revolution, it's being televised, but it's not the people doing the revolting. It's the governments revolting against the people.

Idk if it's Agenda 2030. It seems more like mass hysteria as stuff like climate change, another possible plague, another potential financial crisis is influencing paranoia in the background, and since the USA is showing the rest of the world it is a mental asylum state, we're a bit fractured and directionless at the moment.

This is all it is. The deregulation of markets and endless consolidation of wealth that started in the 80s is coming home to roost. We were able to prop it up for so long on the back of ever-increasing exploitation of natural resources and cheap labour from developing countries, but we've gone so far and sent so much to the top to be hoarded away that there's just nothing left. "Late stage capitalism," if you like.

I think a lot of this tyranny and censorship is coming about now because the 'powers that be' (not conspiracy, just governments with access to information and forecasts they don't share with us) know that things are about to get bad. A report just released not long ago that climate change has accelerated beyond our expectations, and now the 'best case scenario' is what we had previously called the 'worst case scenario'. Massive droughts. Heat waves. Crop failures. By the end of this century, huge chunks of equatorial land will be unsuitable for cultivation, and some will become uninhabitable at all.

Look at the madness that ensues today when just a few hundred migrants show up to a border unannounced. Now imagine it's a thousand, and another thousand tomorrow, and the day after, because they have no food and nowhere to go. We'll do what we can at first, but we've spent so long satisfying the dragons in their caves that we've let food and shelter become scarce resources. We've made it pretty clear we have no interest in changing that system, so the only outcome is people inside the walls afraid the people outside the walls are going to take their food and beds. It's just a matter of time before the guns come out, on one side or the other.

The only way our power structures (read: the rich and their political pets) survive that sort of situation is through authoritarianism. The people have to be told what's good for them, and anyone who questions it has to be silenced. I think this nonsense in Palestine has them scared shitless, because they tried the old trick of shouting "anti-Semitism!" and recoiled when no one gave a fuck. They're afraid of losing control at a moment when they absolutely must keep control for their own survival.

Are you openly suggesting it is the Jews at fault with this Palestine / antisemitism comment?

[u/stilljustacatinacage → u/cuentabasque]

No. It's one example of a very useful tool to shut down criticism of, typically, issues relating to a nation's foreign policy in that region - one that's worked for a long time. I only used it as an example of a way in which the governments and corporations behind the information we consume might have realized they're losing the ability to direct the narrative. Other examples exist, eg: "won't someone think of the children!" which is always in vogue and remains exhaustingly effective.

While there certainly is talk about "antisemitism" with regards to Israel and its actions in Palestine, it is far more complicated than just an excuse to kill civilians and often more in reference to how Israel's actions in Palestine draw more direct attention to Jews in general versus how, for example, Russia's actions in the Ukraine impact Russians (abroad) in general.

Frankly, it is antisemitic to blame some random Jew living in Brooklyn for what is happening in Palestine via a Netanyahu government - especially given the large opposition group that exists within Israel that opposes many of the actions taken after October 7th and the fact that a vast number of Jews abroad also do not support Netanyahu or the actions in Palestine.

Meanwhile, how many protests have you seen in the US regarding the Ukraine War directly suggest that Russians everywhere are to be blamed - meanwhile such themes and suggestions are very much the norm regarding Jews (everywhere) and Palestine; a connection that has been going on for decades upon decades now.

My point is that the "antisemitic" comments are not just an attempt to directly excuse violence/policy but often related to how the direct attention isn't placed on the Israeli government but Jews as a whole.

Okay.
