Short answer: it isn’t

The power structures that make 'the west' a bloc in the international system are 100% defending Israel's genocide.

We're giving them weapons, vetoing on their behalf in the UN, denying that the text book genocide going on is a genocide. Netanyahu's war crimes are as obvious and publicly committed as trump's money laundering and election subversion, yet biden is pretending that the ICC warrant is unjustified.

Despite a growing number of brutally beaten protestors, it's still true to say that the west is supporting israeli war crimes.

on the way out.

This is overly optimistic. We humans are so resilient. We have every resource that's left at our disposal.

Even if there's full scale environmental collapse, we'll survive, rebuild, and be around to do it all over again.

Not really. Connections and social status will always have benefits.

People who don't realize that both liberals and zionists have a lot of imperialism to be ashamed of remind me of the US education system.

I've got some bad news for you about the history of those cliches.

Oh, that's great to know! I'd got the impression that 打 was being used as a verb in the sense of use/make/play with 火機 as the object. Thanks!

The way I was taught to ask for a light in chinese is literally translated as 'Hit the fire machine?' (打火機嗎)

There was a recent case in NC where a 12 y/o was found dead with his underpants off and the camp obstructed the investigation and continues to maintain the death was accidental even after a coroner ruled it was not. It's the second death at that camp as well, previous one was in 2014.
