So a new guy shows up to one of our public meetings yesterday, after maybe 20 minutes calls someone who he disagrees with a “zog bot”

I tell him not to call people that, bc “zog” originates in neo-nazism and anti-jewish conspiracy theories, say we can talk more after the meeting if need be

He slams his fists on the table and yells “ok zog bot” throws papers on the ground and storms out yelling “no god damn free speech! Zogs got em, zogs got em!”

Thanks for leaving loser bye

    sure but the ruling class doesn’t care that much about one congressman. Greater Israel goes against the long-term interests of the empire and puts the pet in conflict with at least one vassal. This round of attacking Iran doesn’t make sense when more patient administrators than trump and biden would have been content to slowly erode iran’s autonomy and understood free transit of the strait was worth a lot even though it doesn’t show up on a ledger.

    capital wants to own iran, israel wants to destroy it lost economic opportunity be damned.

      I think that is the thing, the ruling class of today is not the ruling class of old. They have been in power for to long that it has made them complacent. They act in the open more now then ever. Most of what has work is not being properly maintained because the newer generation doesn’t understand it. Aka there is a lot of no take only throw mentality.

      There are a few things going on that explains Iran. 1. They think they can stop Israel from going scorched earth. The truth be damed. 2. They think the destruction of Iran is fine cause they can build it back up how they see fit.

      As far as not being worried about a single congress person, that is what the system is for. Its entire purpose is to find random targets and take them down. That’s AIPACs whole things. And that’s what these PACs are for in general. Its so some rich guy can say to someone “make this happen”. I think that is what is so concerning. They are like various autonomous generals. But all of them have very specific duties. But its very easy for any of them to be forgotten and then self perpetrate itself. Maybe a computer program is a better example.
