If you’re a small/indy left/anarchist outlet and need an explainer on Lebanon/Israel/Palestine/Syria I am willing to come on your pod/outlet/do a written interview for free. Only criteria I ask is that you are committed to anti-authoritarian politics and do not platform toxic grifters ala Grayzone, Breakthrough News and co.
I’m tired of seeing stupid tankie takes.

@lyncia I love looking at the walmart, no touching though!
Israel / Lebanon, climate crisis
Occupation of southern Lebanon territory is geopolitically advantageous to both Israel and the United States because the 2022 deal brokering shared revenue of the Qana offshore gasfield would no longer be relevant. Even if it were, the agreement has the US brokering any developments should prospectors find more or (more relevantly) borders change. All of this viewed in light of the current slaughter, invasion, and background of climate crisis has a very grim message for the world to come. Not only will extraction and emissions continue as planned, colonial powers will bomb and raze countries towards this end.
Not to say that this is "really all that the invasion is about", but the United States has something of a foreign policy trend in the middle east that regards arabs not retaining oil and gas revenues. Making moves on getting extraction rights via violence, taking on convenient proxies for western extraction operations to take root, all moves within precedent. Other empires seem poised to make similar moves in the future and to pretend as if this does not impact the US support of Israel is wishful thinking.
In an age of extraction and neocolonialism every war is also a resource war. Human lives are cheap in light of imperial affluence and power projection which demands high carbon upkeep. Nobody can be serious about the ongoing climate crisis if they are not firmly anti-war.
@loren ummm, scampering? skidaddling, perhaps?
sliming: for sure.
the way our society hijacks the definition of 'technology' to mean only the extra-human.
but humans can't make anything that isn't human. computer as non-human is an illusion. technology - as the practice or product of iterative learning and creation - has to be re-seen as fundamentally organic and often invisible. its not 'technologically advanced' to obliterate other people using factories or things made in them, its just crass. tech must be conducive to life. its what i mean by #socialTech
wow, the NES still isn't pushed to its limits.

Programmer and IT girl. Pseudo-vegan for the environment (-avocados +oysters). Very uncomfortable with astrology. Please don't call me "dude", "bro", "man", etc. Radical egalitarian anarchist, hierarchies and hate are incompatible with a free and equal life . For real though, I'm not gonna tell you to vote or post about political spectacle that is outside our control and in-actionable. Aiming to have a similar amount of internal contradictions as my environment like Ashby's Law of Requisite variety. I am probably stoned on some variety and dosage of cannabinoids if I am awake if you hate stoners just dni. I am also a trans woman so I *checks notes* meme about femininity and feminization sometimes. After dark account at: @thufieplus but read my bio there before sending a follow request even if we are already mutuals here. Oh and just to be clear because I think I see other white people on here trying to fake not being white under a bunch of other text, I'm just a disoriented white girl trying her best.
