Systemic Terrorism and The Illusion of #Democracy – George Tsakraklidestsakraklides.com/2024/08/09/sy…
The most effective way to keep democracy permanently disabled is to maintain the illusion that it exists. Rather than dissolving democratic institutions, global capital zombified them much like a deep fake that steals your voice, your face, and your reputation. This pseudo-democracy may sound like an oxymoron, but it isn’t. Technically people can still vote, but their votes are the result of microtargeted brainwashing by media empires owned by global capital. Decision-making and debate continue to take place via “democratic” parliamentary procedures, but all MPs are prostitutes to corporate stakeholders.
But along with the illusion of democracy, there is an illusion of politics altogether – that is, the illusion that people have choices when they enter the voting booth. We live with the delusion that our vote still counts for something, because we have not started questioning this system. We may have more plurality than ever, but it is different flavours of the same narrative. While old fascism dismantled all political parties, the capitalist terror state has made them all the same, achieving the same result. Voting is pointless when the necrosystem owns us, the media have rendered truth irrelevant, and choice is now limited to one corrupt politician over another. We are powerless as long as profit owns our politics.
Systemic Terrorism and The Illusion of Democracy
The most effective way to undermine a democracy today is to purchase it and force each citizen to buy a share in it. In one step you have seized power and eliminated all potential opposition.…George Tsakraklides

Same shitty planes.
Same shitty and uncomfortable seats.
Worse service.

this is what happens when you tolerate and protect the fascists .
Israel should have been treated as a rogue state decades ago.
But even after 22 months of active genocide and starvation , they're the ones on the offensive.
This is how pathetic the world is today.
Israel, the modern state, should never have been created where it was. The crimes of Europeans were paid for by innocent Palestinians.
The creation of Israel was itself an act of genocide we are seeing played out to the end now.

"Recently Beth, an online anarchist friend, commented that “people’s models for genocide are wrong.” Genocide “rarely looks like the Holocaust,” involving the killing of “thousands and millions in camps.” It’s more likely to result from “ordinary prisons and deportations run so badly people start dying. It is an extension, not a break with everyday abuses.”..."

A senior #Israeli #official was #arrested in the #UnitedStates earlier this month and charged with seeking sexual conduct with a minor, only to be released on bail with no conditions or monitoring, allowing him to flee to Israel. The case involving #TomArtiomAlexandrovich in #Nevada is now stirring controversy, with politicians and social media commentators accusing the government of interfering in the judicial process to allow the cybersecurity official to return home without facing justice.Court records from Nevada’s #ClarkCounty show that #Alexandrovich was charged with luring or attempting to lure a child online to engage in sexual conduct – a felony that carries up to 10 years in jail in the case of a conviction. He was released on a $10,000 bond, but no monitoring appeared to take place.
Richard Davies, a criminal defence lawyer in Nevada, told #AlJazeera that the apparent lack of conditions on Alexandrovich’s release despite the seriousness of the charges was “fishy”.
“Average Joe gets arrested, he would appear in front of the justice of the peace within 24 hours. The justice of the peace in that county would issue bail conditions, which very typically would include a GPS device, restrictions on movement, not being allowed to leave the state,” Davies said.
“So the fact that this individual was not only allowed to leave without an ankle bracelet or a GPS device, not only to leave the state, but also leave the country, is highly unusual and suspect.”
This is why no more #dual-nationals can be permitted to vote or hold office anywhere in the world. Whether they are #Jewish or #Somali, it has been repeatedly demonstrated that the only thing they really care about is their fellow #nationals, which most certainly does not mean Americans even when they happen to be U.S. citizens. Dual-nationalism shouldn’t even be legal, and at least in the #USA, it’s not even actually law.
If it’s true that the U.S. government was not involved, then Occam’s Razor would focus attention on the nationality of the judge who let the pedo run away to what is apparently a sanctuary zone for child abusers.
