i feel that and i don't know how to stop the feeling of sickness long enough to do anything other than loathe my fellow human being for what they allow to happen, what they tacitly or openly support. most people (at least modern people, the subjects of the neoliberal order) are useless, lazy pigs, and if they even feel any kind of negative emotion about this, the most they'll likely do is post about it. a small minority of heroes will throw their bodies into the cogs and get chewed up. it is just disgusting. it is sickening. the only innocent people are the ones sent to the camps.

as always, the answer is somewhere in the middle. some of them fantasize about being Rockefeller, and others fantasize about being Hitler, and some fantasize about both!

@Lemmygradwontallowme I'm unable to reply in the original thread bc it's closed now, but since you asked, I mainly follow the Sahel conflict through a Marxist journalist/writer on twitter who I've known for a while and who has a few sources in the region. https://x.com/RashmanTheHorse

JNIM is a merger of several groups including Al Quaeda, emerging out of the Mali conflict which itself was a result of the Libyan civil war in many ways. They don't get along with IS (who have a smaller but significant presence in the region) and fight with them at times. There's no western backing for JNIM and France was directly involved in fighting them until the coups of recent years. They're a frighteningly effective organisation, a proto-state spanning several countries. Reminiscent of ISIS in the early 2010s.

 

like even ignoring the worst-case scenarios we're set for crises in the immediate future that will dwarf the "cost-of-living crisis" of 2022-23 and the pandemic. but basically the vast majority of people are just hoping that it'll all be fine and we'll go back to how things were in the 90s if we have some Good Government. it's going to be interesting to see how the masses respond to this situation, which they have been repeatedly informed of for decades now, but which they still don't understand.
