  • Imagine begging off the mightiest military in the world, by virtue of being their puppet state and still not being able to decisively defeat a ragtag bunch of resistance fighters in their sandals with homemade weapons, after imposing a crushing blockade on their lands for the best part of a decade and blowing 1% of their population to smithereens from air.

    Give it up Zionists, you aren’t built for this.

    My YT feed always has at least a few Israeli propaganda shills disguised as your average travel blogger or commentator. The comments are full of one person after another praising Israel with one liners from all corners of the globe.

    The propaganda is cringey, blatant and laid on thick, yet they continue to pump the same brainwashing tactics that work at home abroad too.

    Israel has to be the only country in the world that has to go on the moral defensive after suffering the worst terrorist attack in its history.







  • You are more than welcome! The chapter is called Unification of Humankind for anyone else interested, here is a little excerpt:

    “Myths and fictions accustomed people, nearly from the moment of birth, to think in certain ways, to behave in accordance with certain standards, to want certain things, and to observe certain rules. They thereby created artificial instincts that enabled millions of strangers to cooperate effectively. This network of artificial instincts is called ‘culture’.”



  • Sharing, and believing in, fictions is how distilled units of information are efficiently passed down generations and is one of the bedrocks of our development as a species. This is what allows us to have laws and corporations and agreeing to drive on particular side of the road.

    Yuval Noah Harari covers this more eloquently in his book Sapiens. You would definitely dig the relevant chapters.
