It sucks to see people think government runs on vibes and magic, as though bombs sent through crocodile tears are any less deadly than bombs sent with glee.

thats what no material analysis does to a mf. there is a reason why the parasitic genocidal western bourgeoisie encourages idealist worldviews, as liberals will reassure people that the universe will eventually somehow work in our favor. meanwhile, the systems built around exploitation are using well-organized scientific methods. the people who expanded colonial power and the larger global capitalist system are utilizing scientific principles to enable exploitation while hiding these processes from the working class.

100%. They think Trump is a warlock and his fascist magic will imbue the bombs both the DNC and GOP agree to send with extra power. That's the only way their world view makes any sense at all, rather than looking at the world from a Materialist lense, there's a grand battle of "Good vs Evil" fought in the ballot box, rather than economic interests and bourgeois infighting.

at least the brazenness of the current genocide made more people wake up to the crimes of western "civilization"

Hopefully the quantitative will shift to the qualitative before Gaza is flattened entirely.
