In a World of Metaphysical Philistines
David and Goliath in reverse storm of layered neo platonic lies.
Antisemitism. Intentionally imprecise propaganda term. Still, by any informed approach, most Jews are not to blame. (Re-corded) history ain’t simple. You could start here.1
Zionism. Colonialism (and worse) largely under an ancient land rights pretext. And largely pretentious even at that. A terrible centuries old idea abused to this day. But probably not the dominant force many assume it to be, rather a subservient one. In similar ways to the Nazis and other recent or current large movements.
Hamas. Probably subservient too. 7th October further confirms if you're brave enough to see.
In part descendants of the old Philistines die at the hands of in part descendants of the old Judeans. Including civilians, en mass.
Not unlike people in many places all over the world. Not unlike many other wars. Not unlike when the great king unleashed his troops on some ancient city, and his scribes wrote that a xenophobic courtesan took over his drunk mind or just the troops themselves were to blame. It’s almost always claimed to be so random or partisan or justified or plain generic evil human nature. And the blood flows. And the cash flows. And the chains tighten.
It’s somewhat unlike the safe and effective. The even sneakier and way more widespread. Let us not forget. Any genocide or democide. We're in the middle of a world-wide one of diverse weaponry. But people are directed to hyperfocus their righteous anger to exhaustion. The ones who can still think and feel. Till the next spotlight of fear and death. I’ve been there for decades by now.
Youtube wants me to fund supplies to Palestine. Likely not personalized. Apolitical people are spammed too. Those who aid Zionism want our digital tokens to help its victims. I've never tried to support people through an NGO. Never will. Youtube adds, like many other places, also increasingly spam me with occult symbolism and male vs female hate toons. Until autoskipper kicks in.
I still have few answers and no solutions. Seems impossible to balance
honesty safety desire action ethics. to Wisdom.
Reason can’t reach the insaned fast enough. Perhaps mostly at all. Occasionally attracts threats.
Martyrdom tends to be forgotten even twisted.
Or am I just a coward praying to the gods of chaos for a good roll?
One that finally kills the phoenix this time:
To free the potential warrior from inescapable (under) mercenary employment.
Go further back and especially forward and don’t forget but leave (your/their) politics out of what is true. Trample authority and convenience. Apply this to anything. Take long breaks when needed, you’ll need them. Challenge (my) mistakes where applicable. Hate (or love) me later.
