Our perception of the world is dominated by the movements of our attention, which means that our perception of the world can be changed by manipulating those movements. Propagandists understand this, so they spend their time doing things like telling us over and over again what a bad bad baddie Vladimir Putin is while just occasionally giving a single highly mitigated mention to an individual instance of Israeli criminality, or talking about October 7 over and over again while greatly deemphasizing the massacres Israel has been perpetrating on the Palestinians in Gaza every day since.

The Media Skew Public Perception By Manipulating People's Attention

Saving Gaza is about more than saving Gaza. It's also about saving ourselves.
Saving ourselves as individuals. Saving ourselves as a society. Saving ourselves as a species.
Saving ourselves from what we'll become if we just watch this happening right in front of our eyes without doing everything we can to stop it.
Saving ourselves from what the sociopaths who rule over us are trying to turn us into.
Saving ourselves from the way the propagandists are trying to twist and train our minds.
Saving ourselves from the kind of future humanity will have if our rulers can get away with such a brazen act of extreme depravity.
Saving ourselves from the other horrors that will be unleashed upon our world if this kind of thing becomes normalized and accepted.
Saving ourselves from the dark dystopia we are plunging into at breakneck speed.
Saving ourselves from a world where journalism is dead and dissent is forbidden.
Saving ourselves from a world where the bastards will do the worst things imaginable without even having to hide it, and just stare us in the eyes daring us to do something.
Saving ourselves from a world where the powerful have decided  to respond to the public's widespread access to information and raw video footage by just committing their evil deeds right out in the open and forcing us to get used to it.
Saving ourselves from this relentless push by propagandists and politicians to amputate that sacred part of our humanity which screams "NO" to all this.
Saving our hearts.
Saving our compassion.
Saving our tenderness.
Saving our children.
Saving our humanity.
Saving our world.

Saving Gaza Is About More Than Saving Gaza. It's Also About Saving Ourselves

We're seeing new massacres every goddamn fucking day, but western politicians and media can't stop babbling about one single massacre happening hundreds of days ago.

Ignoring Daily Massacres In Gaza While Still Babbling About October 7

The state of New York should be given to the Mormons, since that's where Joseph Smith founded Mormonism. All other faiths in the new nation that shall be known as Mormonland must either leave or accept the fact that their homes and property will be taken by Mormons, that they will be displaced to undesirable parts of Mormonland, and that they will be treated as second-class citizens at best and as vermin in need of extermination at worst.

Give New York To The Mormons

In a capitalist system, those who control the capital control what ideas and information will be ingested by most people. In a democratic system of government - even one with a rock solid voting system and no money allowed in politics - this will always give the wealthy the ability to rig elections by manipulating public opinion using propaganda.

When The Powerful Control Public Opinion, Elections Aren't Real

If you are helping to validate the completely fictional narrative that there is an epidemic of antisemitism on the political left, you are a facilitator of Israeli atrocities. You are helping the imperial war machine murder children.

Spreading The Fiction Of An Antisemitism Epidemic On The Left

The dead children don't affect me like they used to.
The images. The videos. They still disturb and horrify, but not like they did in the beginning. Not anywhere close.
And, honestly, I hate it. I hate that that part of me has been stolen.

Behold The World Gently

The meme enrages Israel supporters because Israel apologia depends on mountains of verbiage to spin obvious atrocities as reasonable and appropriate. At some point the kids noticed this was happening, and started dismissing all the narratives.

"I Ain't Reading All That; Free Palestine"

They keep telling you October 7 happened because Hamas hates Jews because they don't want you asking questions about Israel's actions which provoked the attack.

Making October 7 About Antisemitism To Hide Israel's Abuses

It sure is a crazy coincidence how western politicians and media always start urgently telling us about an invisible epidemic of left wing antisemitism every time western military ties to Israel are subjected to widespread public scrutiny.
