Wow, this is a very extensive article. Hopefully things go well.

Palestinians generally don't have the money to run propaganda in the US and even if they did, the United States would censor them if it got to the point of being effective

Not that anyone in the West cares

Does anyone have an archive or something for this?

Also, genuinely surprised it is that low. I mean, I knew it was bad but fascinating.

I consider TikTok to be something take every aspect of youtube, and make it more degenerate and more profitable. And don't get me wrong, kudos should be given to the Chinese for developing it and it is a necessary step for China to challenge Western hegemony. But it is more addicting and quite frankly, I consider it things such as to that to be a contributor to the loneliness epidemic and in the general reduction in attention span of people.

Right, they defederated from us. Mistyped

That might be because we defederated from worldnews (because they disliked the pro-palestinian stance we have here).

As for the flood of zionist posts, that's astroturfing, propaganda and censorship. Accounts are getting blocked and kicked on reddit for stating anything pro-palestine on subs like worldnews and many of these pro-isreal accounts were made recently. I believe someone else posted also how Israel literally has a site to get people to boost pro israel content.

At the very least, the Palestinians have gravely hurt the reputation of the West as a whole and are another blow to its hegemony.

Ukraine, Nigeria, Gabon and so on. The pressure is mounting and the economies of Europe are declining.

That being said, the road to freedom for the Palestinians is long and this is just one of many steps

Gotcha, yeah, I figured Chinese people would be much more sympathetic to the situation for the Palestinians. Kind of surprised that the Palestinian embassy stopped posting in Weibo. I guess it makes sense though.

 

I know that the West is trying to pressure China to side with Israel and that that government has decided to not get involved but what about the people in the country? Didn't China use to support the end of the apartheid there and stuff like that?

I hope this goes well for Palestine but I feel like they don’t have the support to actually succeed and Israel will continue their genocide in force

Aside from the issues stated already. This would need to be a truly monstrous amount of water. The cost would simply be far too much to justify any sort of benefit.

Capitalist realism is summed up in this phrase "It is easier to imagine the end of the world than the end of capitalism"

It is the belief that everything other than capitalism is impossible or idealistic. This is best exemplified in the United States and the West's complete inability to do anything about Climate change. Most people have passively accepted that climate change and its ensuing destruction is inevitable and even those that go out to protest envision a capitalist solution (Elon Musk fixing it through business or something).

It is at its core state propaganda to fill the populace with hopelessness that any change is doomed to fail.

Given what the US did to the EU by blowing up that pipeline and the gouging Europe with energy prices, I remain reasonably confident that the US will suck dry all its vassal states first before it collapses
