Maybe Racism Does Still Actually Exist

One thing I've found that bothers the fuck out of liberals is when I call Joe Biden a racist genocidal asshole. They are outraged by this - the idea that some privileged white guy who grew up surrounded by whiteness - born during World War 2 - could have a racist bone in his body. But they are outraged by it.

They never have an answer though - as to what non-racist explanation there is for his role in the genocide of Gaza. How a person who values Palestinian life at all could continue sending the bombs that are incinerating it.

Also, as good liberals, they acknowledge that racism still exists - just that none of The Good Guys are racist. Joe is a decent man - therefore it is impossible for him to be racist. There is an explanation for why he keeps supplying the arms that he acknowledges are killing way too many civilians - no one knows what it is, but it is totally not racist.

He's a racist. And until we address what that means - and what racism in general means and what impacts it has on society - racism will continue to have those impacts on society. Impacts like this:

30 Days to Stop Intentionally Starving Gaza

Three weeks ago, Blinken and Austin wrote a sternly worded letter to Netanyahu warning that if they didn't stop intentionally starving northern Gaza in thirty days, maybe they might not get as many bombs as they want. This is weeks after a fresh round of warnings that northern Gaza was being starved.

As you might imagine, shit has only gotten much worse in northern Gaza since then. No aid was being allowed in. The IDF then stepped up military operations there, further intensifying the already horrific pace of mass murder and destruction. And then Israel passed a law banning any co-operation with UNRWA.

Matt Miller was asked about this and he made a joke about the 30 days not being done yet- "the semester isn't over, hahaha (it's only a couple hundred Arabs that are being starved into extinction, so what's the big deal?)"

Well there is good news for Matt Miller and Lloyd Austin and Anthony Blinken. They don't have to worry about humanitarian aid making its way to northern Gaza any more. The IDF announced yesterday that the ethnic cleansing of northern Gaza was complete. There's no one left there to use the humanitarian aid if it was delivered. Anyone left there is clearly a Hamas terrorist.

Also too, while the US was out voting yesterday, Netanyahu fired Yoav Gallant, the Israeli Minister of Defense. Apparently the guy who said that they were fighting human animals in Gaza was too moderate. So despite how fucking unbelievably terrible the situation is in the Middle East - that one terrible truth still remains in effect. It is going to get worse.

Well That Didn't Turn Out So Good

Part of the reason I've been quiet is that, even with almost no audience, I was still scared shitless of doing anything to help Trump get into office again. Even if no one is reading this blog (and almost nobody is) - I still know that my criticism of the Biden Administration doesn't help them at all. Well, not only was it pointless (since I am an irrelevant voice that has zero reach) but also, it was pointless in that Trump has won the election.

Would I feel better now if I had continued screaming into the void? Probably not. This is really fucking terrible shit. Trump is a disaster. It's going to be fucking bad - on every front. Our only mitigating factors are that opposition to his fascist agenda will be more united and maybe the damage he does will be limited by his incompetence and infighting among the deeply selfish grifters he has surrounded himself with.

Anyways, the reason for this blog is to quell the voice in my head that makes me want to gripe and rant and complain. And it is far better for me to do so here than IRL. Well, it is looking like I am going to have a lot of things to rant about for quite some time. So maybe you can expect this blog to be more active again - no promises though.
