Israel's genocide of Palestinians and war on the Middle East
barttttender replied to Ultra Violet's topic in World News
Yes, it is if those brown people are backed and funded by the predominantly white Americans and Europeans. The Israelis are being used by Americans and others to fulfil their colonialist, economic interests. Otherwise, they would've called for a ceasefire. Surely, you can put 2 + 2 together? -
She most likely wasn't allowed to have Y&B on Paradise as it belonged to the Gatsby soundtrack. Same reason why Watercolor Eyes wasn't on BB. The SS remix she wasn't involved in at all, so I don't think that was even an option. Also, please let's not have Say Yes to Heaven on her new album, the song is 10 years old.

AW is too out there to win this category. It also has the lowest streaming numbers pretty much of all the nominees. I've said this before and I'll say it again, best alternative album is her best shot. -
Israel's genocide of Palestinians and war on the Middle East
barttttender replied to Ultra Violet's topic in World News
Yep. It's all about the territory, natural gas, and future trade corridors. There's a lot of money in Palestine for Israel and their allies to share. Billions. It has nothing to do with religion, the "promised land" or Israel claiming what's theirs, nor their "right to self defence". It's just white colonialism all over. Oil is lower in supplies, and natural gas is the new oil. What they can unearth in Gaza could last humanity for another 125 years. Natural gas is also more environmentally friendly so this ticks a lot of the greenwashing and other ESG goals that everyone has to abide by. These countries are performing an act of ethnic cleansing so that Israel can take over the land, reap its economic benefits, and then share it with the US, Uk, France, and so forth. Israel is already giving out licenses to companies to look for the natural gas off their Mediterranean coast. More about all of this here: https://www.planetcritical.com/p/everybody-wants-gazas-gas Natural gas a well as the potential trade corridors that Isreal can create through Gaza is why the US, Uk and so on are sitting idly and watching the genocide play out. This genocide is in everybody's interest. This is very sad and shocking, but it's a truth now obvious to everyone. Now, here is the interesting part: I've heard from folks familiar with the history and the region that Israel knew that the concert massacre of their people by Hamas was coming that day. Just think, all those Israeli soldiers out there, during war times, with huge walls, apartheid and a shit ton of weapons, but the Israeli army was NOWHERE in sight to protect their own civilians from Hamas? Yeah right. The concert-goers were used as scapegoats, so that Israel would get the "full right" to "defend itself", meaning: kill the civilians, continue their ethnic cleansing, and further displace the Palestinians. Bit by bit, the Gaza borders will move, and Israel will take over completely. Now, what Elon Musk pointed out the other day is that Israel didn't realize that Hamas knew that their concert massacre is going to kick off the bloodshed. They also knew that Muslims around the world, as well as Christians, would see it on freewheeling socials, recognize it for what it is, and retaliate against Israel en masse. And now, the whole world is siding with Hamas, seeing their narrative, and recognizing the Israeli atrocities for the very first time. Despite them going on for decades. So, while Israel is getting its land and moving ahead with its territorial and financial goals, they're losing international support and more and more "Hamas"-style enemies are being born day by day. What's more, people all around the world have started learning about Israel, seeing what its doing, and noticing what its goals are. So, while Palestine may have lost 11,000 people, it won a lot in terms of international recognition. Now everyone with a brain, understands that not only Palestine is a victim of Western colonialism - the entire world is. The problem is, what do we all do with this information? What does one do when they learn their own government is funding a genocide in the Middle East for the sake of natural gas and money, in tandem with other governments? Natural gas which isn't even that much better than oil, only moderately so. Ony about 30% less carbon dioxide emission than oil. Basically, they will kill and displace Palestinians, take their land and get the gas - just so they can keep filling their pockets while killing the planet more and more. What I've personally learned from all this is: 1. There is no such thing as human rights. There are only powerful countries and poor countries. The rules don't apply if you have the powerful countries in your corner 2. America is once again at the heart of crimes against humanity and their biggest supporter and funder. This keeps on happening, and your own citizens are funding it. It's fucked up 3. America would rather fund a war and then sort out its messed up healthcare system 4. Europe too is all about financial interests 5. The UN as an institution is pretty useless 6. Ireland has more balls than anyone in Europe in terms of speaking the truth 7. England's new Prime Minister is already corrupt, a goner 8. Israel is literally a made up, small country, but they have so much power and so many lobbyists that they can perform ethnic cleansing while the whole world is watching. Oh, and they have nuclear powers as well 9. Social media can be used for more than narcissism. It can be a powerful tool for unearthing the truth and exposing our governments 10. Most of the stuff we get from the media is a complete lie. Even articles in reputable magazines like New York Times or the Wall Street Journal. In fact, especially in those publications This list goes on and on. There's so much to unpack, and discern, and I can totally understand why everyone is so shocked and distressed. If you're feeling anxious right now (I know I am!), well, you're not alone The time for political and social activism is now, guys. We not only need to learn what we can do to to help the Palestinian cause, but we also need to stop our governments from making decisions on our behalf. Our planet is at stake. I'm on Elon Musk's team. Electric cars should be the way forward, and Big Oil or Big Gas, need to be stopped at every cost. -

alt album is what she's getting. -
Killers of the flower moon. It's good. As good as oppenheimer. Perhaps more relevant, given the situation with the white men (us, uk etc) killing the indiginous people of palestine right now with the whole world watching idily

Unreleased songs you want Lana to rework/release
barttttender replied to Hundred Dollar Bill's topic in Lana Thoughts
HOLLYWOOD. Woulda fit on Honeymoon or even Paradise perfectly. I don't understand why she never released it, it's better than at least 50% of her songs, if not more. If she ever does an 80s inspired album, which I hope she does, this has to be on it. Then SERIAL KILLER. Like, wtf, Lana, release this banger. Also, Ridin', Driving in Cars with Boys, Angels Forever, Cry Kill Die, French Restaurant, Hundred Dollar Bill, Your Girl, Fine China. Hopefully, one day she drops another Blue Banisters-style outtakes album. -
Israel's genocide of Palestinians and war on the Middle East
barttttender replied to Ultra Violet's topic in World News
it's crazy! Just look at social. People are posting their food pics and f-ing gym sessions with complete disregard. How can folks ignore this issue? At least voice your support with one or two stories the worst is when they say "I have Israeli friends so I can't post" Ummm, if your Israeli friends have an issue with you condemning an act of genocide, then they aint really your friends, hun We really live in an era of problem-avoidance and narcissism. Things shouldn't be "nice" and "hot" 24/7. It's social media, but I guess a violation of human rights should take a backseat in the social conversation to give way to aesthetically pleasing content that everyone is comfy with? So they don't have a second of feeling uncomfortable? It's the same reason why the planet will literally burn to death in a few hundred years - complacency and status quo -
Israel's genocide of Palestinians and war on the Middle East
barttttender replied to Ultra Violet's topic in World News
You don't have to explain anything, honestly. The world is overpopulated, there's (still) zero consideration for the environment and the planet, there are wars, famine, ethnic cleansing, economic slavery, and so many more issues that are just shocking. I'm not sure on the nukes, etc. But I wouldn't be opposed to a comet hitting us and causing a sort of reset. Most of all, I'm fed up with Big Oil, corporate greed and America's foreign policies aka enslaving the world. Like, jesus, Israel and US - let the children live! Is it so much to ask? -

I was thinking that yesterday. The world is so overpopulated and messy with god damn cars everywhere, and bombs, and violence, and the environment is getting so hot. Just imagine a world without humans with only animals and plants - would be so much nicer, and super verdant. -
Israel's genocide of Palestinians and war on the Middle East
barttttender replied to Ultra Violet's topic in World News
look. Hamas is just an excuse for the ethnic cleansing. it's obvious. The us, uk and others are complicit in this crime for the sake of their political and financial interest. What's more, the us is funding the genocide. How does one go about asking questions in this kind of situation? 🤔 when even reporters are getting wiped out. It's shocking what we, as a global community, let our governments get away with. America in particular - no healthcare, but you all are now funding a genocide via tax? Jesus -
Israel's genocide of Palestinians and war on the Middle East
barttttender replied to Ultra Violet's topic in World News
this. 100% it's like we're those pod people in the matrix, and natanyahu and the us can get away with ANYTHING. also, if Milosevic and many others were served for war crimes in haag, natanyahu deserves the same faith. As does Biden, uk, france, etc. but the difference is, natanyahu is working in tandem with the us. So nothing will come of it -

America just approved 15 billion dollars of "aid" for Israel. So, basically, Israel has all the money it needs to see this through, while the world sits and watches. Well done, world. -

There's theories about Gaza being in the way for creating a new canal for trading that the US, France and UK would greatly benefit from. Wouldn't be surprised if that was true, and the whole thing was orchestrated. -

Israel's genocide of Palestinians and war on the Middle East
barttttender replied to Ultra Violet's topic in World News
Comparatively, I tried googling videos and images of the concert massacre, and got pretty much zero results. Except footage of people running, most of whom don't even look distressed. There's one blurry image of body bags but that's been posted by the Israel Media Office or something, and it really has little in the believability factor compared to the Palestinian footage. All those people at a concert, with state-of-the-art phones, and there's not a single video of an Israeli being shot down or bleeding? If there is, can someone please DM me the link? -

ugh, you just want let this go? Anti-zionism is probably the more appropriate term. I know nothing about the jewish faith, it doesn't interest me, and i have no reason to hate it. Happy now? Now can we please move on and discuss the situation, share articles, updates, humanitarian aid, how we can help, etc? -

Sadly, Israel seems to have too many countries in their corner, too much heavy artillery, and too many lobbyists in governments for this to ever come to fruition. People are cheap. Even entire nations can be easily bought.
