Biden can just force a ceasefire any time he wants by just telling Israel he'll cut off funding and arms and intel.

And if they don't listen and try to do their thing (genocide) anyways while being completely cut off for months and months, well that will be when it might be okay to say "genocide Joe did eventually try to rein it in a little".

This is like 90% of AI companies. They promise an automation to get investment, IP claims, etc, but then actually use a ton of global south labor to run it. They usually try to actually build the tech but there's not much pressure because the cheap overseas labor option does actually function, albeit without the savings they promised.

At one point Finkelstein says, "With all due respect, you’re such a fantastic moron. It’s terrifying."

Critical support for Finkelstein in his quest to destroy all Zionists.

Both of those are very active projects that require an embedding in community, particularly a community that is going to be around for a while.

Most left groups in the US make no attempt whatsoever to build within and among a community. Many of the seeming exceptions get rerouted into a charity pipeline. They might call it mutual aid but it tends to be structured as charity with the money and labor coming from outside the community to simply provide a service for the most destitute inside the community, plus other little telltale signs. There is little work done to radicalize, incorporate, learn from the community itself, including the whole community, not just those deemed worthy of charity.

The other challenge is that communities are in transition. You try to set up shop somewhere and maybe 10 years later it's an entirely new set of people due to increased property values + increased cost of living + stagnant paychecks. To me this means you can't half-ass it, as you're going to need to create a resilient network that can move and connect across the new places people need to live and work.

But to me the main issue is that groups don't even really try in the first place. Sometimes this is even for ideological reasons.

We've had first settler-colonial ethnostate, but what about second settler-colonial ethnostate?

The show about a ragtag group of revolutionaries fighting against the corporate-controlled weapons of war that harmed them and keep "order" is actually about how corporatism is just the wrong type of capitalism bro.

The uneven ratios in those top three are due to massive populations of second class immigrant laborers, often slave laborers.

Bruh you've gotta use vague signals and let the think tanks work with journalists to manufacture consent first.
