It's almost impossible to get a W for palestinian propaganda these days, there's just no way around the atrocities committed on Oct 7th, Oct 8th. However, one of the biggest freebie that they've got from most of the western media is the label of the invasion as "terrorism". It was a combined warfare operation, involving MRLS, mortars, naval, air and ground incursions. The fact that their combatants wears flip flops doesn't mean that they don't weild automatic weapons. The fact that there were uncountable war crimes committed during these two days doesn't mean it is just terrorism.

It's war.

Part of a tiling of the hyperbolic plane where 7 equilateral triangles meet at each vertex, wrapped isometrically onto a surface with curvature K=–1:
z = ±ξ |E(arcsin(cosh s) | m)–E(m)|
ρ = √[ξ^2–1] cosh s

E is elliptic integral
ξ is max radius
m = 1–1/ξ^2
s is dist from waist

Straight from playbook.

"You don't need to see Ukrainian nazis to believe that they are there".

I tried so hard to empathise with pro-palestinian people, I even have a textual evidence of me discussing that with my Jewish friends, but it's so hard to feel empathy towards, let alone associate with people who post arab propaganda and ask their readers not to make evidence-based judgements.

What's especially fucked up them comparing the ratko mladich's unprovoked massacre with retaliation strikes for a documented (not least by hamas and palestinians themselves) massacre. By that logic, the author of these toots should side with serbs during the retaliation that was happening in Yugoslavian war.

I can't even.

It's scary to see that the organizations that I felt represent quintessential evil, that killed , that facilitated useless mass surveilance, that robbed "the people" of dignity, turn out to be the allies of the , even if temporary, whereas the organizations that I felt represented quintessential good, that facilitated surveilance avoidance, that gave us all options to talk securely about whatever subject we want to discuss, fall to dreadful actors like , , .

The most fucked up thing is that there are a lot of fellow lefties who are blind to this effect. Women who support killing women by the "guardians of the revolution" in , mothers who support slaying Jewish children in Israel, social justice advocate who support slamming with rockets just because they have read a book by a guy who never made anything real in his life () and heard that was also cool.

When you read about the Cambridge Five and you think "what a bunch of fools, how could they have fallen for the soviet narrative?", look around. Take a walk in London past UCL. Count the leninist posters featuring, I kid you not, Vladimir Ilyitch Ullianov-Lenin (I bet the stupid fucks don't even know his full name, hah). Authoritarian brain-washing is very strong and will be strong, no matter which authoritarian state we're talking about. Brainwashing is a pillar of survival of such states, thus it will always be ahead of the Western propaganda.

There are new Cambridge Fives, and possibly in the organizations that you or I have donated to before.

Finally, this idiocy of the left only pours more water on the right-wing watermill.

The least we can do right now, is to TEMPORARILY stop donating to the far-left orgs and orgs like @eff, stop relaying opinions of or mentioning russian agents like Snowden, actively isolate iran, hamas, russia supporters and track them with best effort. Knowing to be careful around them or feeding them disinformation, can literally save lives.

The war is in everyday life, don't underestimate your impact.

Israel is fighting iranian puppets right now and the harder it hits, the less weapons russia will get to kill Ukrainians.

Boost please British folk. Woods here are FULL of death caps. Amanita phalloides. In decades of picking I have never seen as many as here on Cambridge today. It not even usually common here. It's brutally poisonous, please share a warning to avoid it #mushtodon #fungi #mushrooms

I'm very upset right now. Submitted an appeal to .

Seems like are tagging savelife.in.ua as "nudity / porn"? Wtf.

@jonn @thomasfuchs @normis Same, really. I was always sympathetic to Palestine and critical of Israel. But today Hamas helped me make up my mind. How can Israel tolerate such a threat at - or actually inside - its borders? Of course they have to retaliate. And of course civilians in Gaza will suffer. They should thank Hamas.
