I find it tiresome to see an unspoken “they had it coming” dynamic in these types of events.
An implicit “Yes it is unfortunate, but you can understand why..” No..it’s stochastic terror.

And I don’t mean it the muscular national security war mongering ad way. I mean that machine thrives on all this while pretending to condemn it.

There is nothing left about stochastic terror. I am well to the left but that is about thinking critically. The web polarizes the world towards war. Totally makes sense that it was built by defence contracting.

Nathan Robinson (who is well to the left) recently wrote about how alarming it is that outright nazis like Fuentes are getting normalised. And way too much real antisemitism is rising thanks to that wretched war. The worst possible reaction and then

I can’t stand Larry Ellison and object to hatred of Jewish people being coupled to attacks on Ellison.

I have felt sympathetic toward both the (left) Jewish community and the (left) Muslim community and all the people getting clobbered in war zones as we comment about it safely from our homes.

But this is a cancer on society and its dynamics are a nightmare and I don’t trust researchers of the net in bed with the security state to call it out and feel compelled to. It will kill us all-this eye for an eye crap.
