    She mentions the small talk in the dog park since October 7. One day, the women there were friendly to her, and then one asked, “In what way would it be better wipe out Gaza – starvation or a nuclear bomb?”

    What the fuck

    She mentions the small talk in the dog park since October 7. One day, the women there were friendly to her, and then one asked, “In what way would it be better wipe out Gaza – starvation or a nuclear bomb?”

    Shira asks: “How can it be that this is a normal conversation in the street, and I’m considered strange?”

    It’ll never stop shocking me that the average israeli unironically just acts like this casually and its not even some sort of parody

    Antisemitism doesn’t scare her; “they make more out of it than it is,” she says. And for her, life is scarier here; after all, she lives in a house with no safe room. “During the sirens I worried that a wall might fall on me, and for months after October 7, I had nightmares about terrorists,” she says.

    What she’s saying here is that if more civilian areas were hit then she’d leave.

    “Israel needs to exist as a safe place for Jews.”

    “So… you’re going to create a colonial apartheid state?”

    “Yes.”

    “You do realize that will inspire violent resistance and likely make the nation a pariah state that almost everyone besides the US views as hostile right?”

    “Yes, but it will be safer for Jews!”

    “Safer than Brooklyn?”

    Ritualistic displays of psychopathy like this, are absolutely a sign of complete social and cultural collapse

    If you twist your brain to think this shit about other people, you’ll eventually apply the same logic to your in-group, generating witch-hunts, more scapegoats and more victims to justify the initial descent into barbarism, an ideology centered on death has no equilibrium

    The single saving grace of fascism is the fact it is inherently self-destructive, fascists after a certain amount of time do not want to be around other fascists unless they themselves are in positions of power (in which case paranoia takes over) leading to similar results either way

    These people destroyed themselves mentally and socially a long time ago, and unfortunately it’s been the outside influence of US imperial power that has kept this abomination alive well past its due date

    Tho American elites are playing a dangerous game by continuing to imbibe the corpse of a dead society, the poisonous ideology will make it’s way back to the US and start generating the same self-destructive tendencies pulling the collapse date of the US closer to the present
