madness IS my only relief, pt 1
okay so,
since october 7th 2023 a lot has changed with the world and myself. at the same time, not a lot has changed at all. sometimes people coast just by working, drinking beers in the kitchen, watching movies, going on weekend trips to the mountains, and so on.
during all this if you even make a halfway decent attempt to stay "informed" you might get a notification from the AP News app on your phone that says "14 dead in Gaza during protest" or something like that, and maybe you think "wow it's just complicated", open another beer, and finish your story you've told 14 times to the same three people standing in your kitchen.
so anyways october 7th 2023 happens and the entire world is shocked or whatever, you think anyways because the news sites are all shocked like NYT, Reuters, BBC, WAPO, etc. then your aunt on facebook is like "pray for israel". if you're like me you see the pictures of the hamas fighters in the paragliders, maybe some stills from the FPV videos.
what followed next defied logic and reality to someone like me who did not pay attention 100% to everything the imperial core was up to the whole time i was alive. you have the victims of a holocaust begin committing their own holocaust but the difference is that its livestreamed to our fucking phones. you have these genocidal freaks and their valiant supporters deride anyone as an antisemite for calling them out on it.
countless and i mean COUNTLESS videos and photos of children, women, men blown to pieces, decapitated, holes in their heads, etc. saw a video of a dad mourning his infant daughter trying to put her leg back on and it was just shredded meat mostly. just weeping inconsolable.
i got into a fight with a friend over this. he's jewish, was very upset about october 7th and i told him israel was killing children and entire families and have already killed several times over the death toll from oct 7. i sent him the photos i saw. i told him zionism is a death cult, no different than nazis. he blocked me, afraid of the truth and debate. whatever, i do not care.
