I do the emotes

I already low-key respected Hasan but this entire saga has given me newfound appreciation for him. Dude is probably the best real-time news aggregator on this conflict I’ve found (besides this megathread but that’s a collaborative effort) and the fact that he’s raised almost a million dollars for Palestine is amazing. Dude’s a real one

If you want a proper term for it, if you aren’t already aware, Engels calls this social murder.

When one individual inflicts bodily injury upon another such that death results, we call the deed manslaughter; when the assailant knew in advance that the injury would be fatal, we call his deed murder. But when society places hundreds of proletarians in such a position that they inevitably meet a too early and an unnatural death, one which is quite as much a death by violence as that by the sword or bullet; when it deprives thousands of the necessaries of life, places them under conditions in which they cannot live – forces them, through the strong arm of the law, to remain in such conditions until that death ensues which is the inevitable consequence – knows that these thousands of victims must perish, and yet permits these conditions to remain, its deed is murder just as surely as the deed of the single individual; disguised, malicious murder, murder against which none can defend himself, which does not seem what it is, because no man sees the murderer, because the death of the victim seems a natural one, since the offence is more one of omission than of commission. But murder it remains.

Rest in piece, shit fucking sucks.

>knowingly create situation where people will act out against you in an uncivil manner and use the skewed power in your favor to manifest it

>get mad at the people acting out, shut down discussion regarding what you did, act victimized

yeah that’s a certified Israel classic if I’ve ever seen one

IT’S AN ALLEGORY FOR FASCISM
IT’S LITERALLY WORD-OF-GOD AN ALLEGORY FOR FASCISM
IT COULDN’T BE ANY MORE CLEAR-CUT
YOU CAN LITERALLY GOOGLE THE PHRASE “WHAT IS WARHAMMER AN ALLEGORY FOR” AND YOU WILL GET THAT AS A FRONT-PAGE RESULT
