There have been direct actions recently - they get subjected to media blackout. If you want to shift public sentiment, you need eyeballs - they get eyeballs, and while responses are obviously mixed, they lean positive over time.

To be fair, liberalism, while far better isn’t remotely close to being an adequate solution, but we all need to kick the can down the road by picking whatever least bad option is available to us.
I cast arms embargo, ICJ and ICC…
And the banks. Incrementally easing into the housing market, and shifting company ownership to the workers sounds like a good idea - can’t have all the profits from workers’ labour being handed to lazy welfare queen shareholders.
You can’t seriously expect them to track every school, children’s hospital, aid center and shelter they bomb, can you? They ask look the same after a while… Blood-stained rubble and twisted rear. They’ve got 4 day old Hamas newborns to genocide - priorities, people.
Absolute fucking demons, and living in a country whose government supports Israel (though I don’t think my country is arming them) is sickening.
Calling them liars is accrate, but kind of buries the brazenly genocidal lede.
Throwing enough money at a company to bail out out because they couldn’t manage themselves, getting nothing in return, and begging them to pwiddy pweeease not do it again rather than taking control of that strategic asset, and deleting its management is some impressive cuckoldry.
…how many years ago was it when “facts don’t care about your feelings” was their thing?
Their facts were nonsense, of course, but they at least tried. The lazy, obvious bullshit that 1/3 of the population immediately adopt as their whole identity now is genuinely depressing.
The genocide has been a decades-long effort - it’s only been undeniable for 11 months.
I’d argue that assuming they’d even get a passing mention is overly charitable - to your point, look at all the aid workers murdered outside that particular instance that got no reporting… and the fact that people need to be told that they’ve killed hundreds of aid workers and journalists - the most per day of any conflict in history initially.
This isn’t an internet thing - it’s an inciting racist violence thing. Kiddie porn isn’t suddenly fair game because you’re on the internet, and rightly so - neither is inciting racial hatred.
If he’d stood in the town square to rally the browncoats, he’d have a higher chance of being held accountable. Pick a better example to plant your flag - consolidation of social platforms like xitter into a state of oligopoly where a handful of people undemocratically set the rules they want via TOS would be a good start.
Hold up - you don’t have a solution, but you’ll criticise people for doing what they can to keep the fascists out of power?
I agree with what you’re saying broadly, but if you’re going to wax ideological while you let the fascists win, you can fuck all the way off.
