"Over the years... I have learned that there are many people who just aren’t going to have anything worthwhile to say, because their worldviews are too clouded with confusion and bullshit for them to offer a lucid perspective on much of anything.

There are signs I look for to show me whether someone is not worth the time and energy... Here they are in no particular order.

#CaitlinJohnstone: Easiest ways to make me lose all interest in everything you have to say:

"#Capitalism isn't the status quo because it's the best system, it's the status quo because it's the easiest system to consolidate power around at this point in history. There's enough convergence of interests at high levels for disparate factions to back the current model.

That can all change on a dime once the pitchforks and #guillotines come out." -#CaitlinJohnstone

Capitalism isn't the status quo because it's the best system, it's the status quo because it's the easiest system to consolidate power around at this point in history. There's enough convergence of interests at high levels for disparate factions to back the current model.

That can all change on a dime once the pitchforks and guillotines come out. Real power lies in the hands of the masses, and once enough of us get fed up with the status quo there won't be anyone dumb enough to stand against us. And from there, creating a better system and a better world becomes very possible.


"It’s pretty wild how the west went directly from “We need to occupy Afghanistan for two decades to prevent it from being taken over by the Taliban” to “Yay! Syria’s been taken over by al-Qaeda!”" -#CaitlinJohnstone

What #CaitlinJohnstone said re #WokeAlQaeda on US talkshows comes to mind... Just so you know, #HTS IS the progeny of #ISIS. Hillary Clinton's Libya hires

"Assad Is Out, Woke Al-Qaeda Is In

Only a matter of time before we start seeing former ISIS/ #alQaeda members chatting it up on liberal western talk shows with their preferred gender pronouns listed next to their names.'"

And remember... "If you saw through the lies about #Gaza, don’t stop there. Keep going. Keep pulling on threads. Keep learning. Stay curious. They lied about Gaza, they lied about #Iraq, they lied about #Libya, they lied about #Ukraine, and they’re lying about #Syria too..."

"I say this not as an expression of #pessimism or #defeatism, but because that’s simply where we’re at as a society right now... #dystopia where minds are continuously inundated with... #propaganda and tyrants enact their abusive agendas without much meaningful #resistance.

Because #Biden's ramp up of support for the #Nazis coup regime is a mutually agreed on by both faction's policy.

"It’s so fun how the #Biden administration is using its lame duck months to skyrocket hostilities between nuclear superpowers and we don’t even know who’s really making these decisions because the president’s brain is cottage cheese." #CaitlinJohnstone

"#Psychopathy is almost a job requirement for secretary of state.... As secretary of state you are responsible for whipping up international consensus for brutal economic sanctions regimes, drumming up support for heightened aggressions against the official enemies of Washington, and making up excuses for the criminal abuses of the US and its allies." #CaitlinJohnstone

"#Trump literally standing before an Israeli flag and vowing to kill free speech for the advancement of Israeli information interests makes a lie of everything the so-called “#MAGA movement” has ever claimed to stand for and exposes it for the #scam it has always been." -#CaitlinJohnstone

The US government is absolutely working as intended and designed. You CANNOT 'fix' it. You #OVERTHROW it.

"#Obama continued and expanded #Bush’s most evil policies. #Trump continued and expanded Obama’s most evil policies. #Biden continued and expanded Trump’s most evil policies. Now Trump is preparing to keep the streak going." #CaitlinJohnstone

#Trump #Biden #Harris... Politicians generally... "They do not hate each other. They do not see one another as an existential threat to the nation. They are not enemies. They’re barely even opponents. When the show is over they hug and kiss like boxers after weeks of phony #trashtalk made solely to sell pay-per-views."

"Just gonna say this ahead of time so it's out there: you don't get to campaign on continuing a #genocide and then blame other people when you lose. That's not a thing." -#CaitlinJohnstone @palestine



"The newspapers keep saying the air in Gaza smells like corpses.
Like rotting human flesh; the entire Gaza Strip.
They say it emanates from the rubble.
Pervades everything.
It’s just what Gaza smells like,
like how Hershey, Pennsylvania smells like chocolate,
or how Milpitas, California smells like landfill.

I bet you can never get the smell out.
Out of your clothes.
Out of your hair.
Out of your dreams."

The Air In #Gaza Smells Like Corpses #CaitlinJohnstone https://caitlinjohnstone.com.au/2024/11/08/the-air-in-gaza-smells-like-corpses/ @palestine


"I'm already getting people telling me to “give Trump a chance” and stop criticizing him before he’s in office when I point out developments like this. Give Trump a chance? He had four years. He was the president for four fucking years. Trump showed us who he is: ...a murderous warmongering empire lackey just like his predecessors...."

As #CaitlinJohnstone said recently <https://caitlinjohnstone.com.au/2024/11/02/vote-however-you-feel-this-whole-show-is-about-feelings-anyway/>. It's about how you FEEL. That's the problem. Know why? Navel-gazing NARCISSISTIC TO the level of Mental Illness American #IdentityPolitics cult mentality. If that's all you care about is: How it works out for you and yours, you're a #FASCIST. Most Americans are. You're going to get THE PERFECT REPRESENTATIVE of the United Snakes either way. A Blue genocidal racism-enabling Nazi or Red genocidal racist Nazi.
@velshi


If voting for #KamalaHarris makes you feel nice because it lets you pretend youre stopping #fascism... protecting women... minorities or helping... #Gaza or whatever...

If voting... Donald #Trump makes you feel nice because it lets you pretend youre sticking it to the establishment or punishing the #Democrats... or...

This whole spectacle is exclusively about feelings.

@Heretical_i @palestine group

#CaitlinJohnstone #EthnicCleansing #Palestinians #Netanyahu
Many articles published by Haaretz would result in uproar, loss of job and possibly prosecution in many parts of the "free world" specially Germany and UK


#CaitlinJohnstone w/ @palestine news, incl:
"Haaretz has been far more critical of Israels actions than western media outlets have been. It recently published an editorial titled “If It Looks Like #EthnicCleansing It Probably Is” (nonpay link). Haaretz publisher Amos Schocken is now publicly advocating international sanctions on the Israeli government for its apartheid abuses and opposition to a #Palestinians state, drawing an outraged response from the #Netanyahu regime" https://caitlinjohnstone.com.au/2024/11/01/too-much-evidence-of-genocide/
