Hey, Larkin Rose here. Imagine a family living in Tel Aviv, Israel, and
they may not be all that
involved or interested in
politics or government affairs or things like that. Mostly they're focused on
their family and their career and their hobbies and their friends and and all that stuff.
Now probably their statists, because most people on the planet are statists,
and they might sort of vaguely support their government and think that their military is the good guy,
but they may not pay that much attention, like most people, while being statists, like most people, and
then one day bombs start falling in their neighborhood.
Now to them, suddenly it becomes very real.
Now it isn't something they read about in a headline somewhere where they're not even sure how
accurate it is, and they don't know the people involved, and they don't know any of the specifics. Now it's people they know.
Now it's their neighborhood. Now it's their family being blown up. And so it's
dramatic, and it's terrifying, and it's horrible, and of course
that's gonna mean more to them than some headline about some other country on the other side of the world.
That's just natural.
Whether or not it's fair or objective
doesn't change the fact that it's natural, and they're going to feel in that moment, if they know some
some of their neighbors who got killed,
they're gonna feel like this is the most horrible thing that's ever happened. Whoever did this should be destroyed, and
of course, they're not gonna know exactly who did it.
They're going to have the general category. They're probably gonna think, well, Iran did it.
Well, no it didn't. Iran is a place.
It's a place with lots and lots of people living in it, and it has a ruling class of a bunch of power happy psychos,
which ruling classes always are, and it has a military.
They don't know exactly who pushed the buttons, or who flew the planes, or whatever to do that.
But it would be very natural and very understandable
for them to think those are the most horrible people they need to be destroyed, and then their anger is gonna be aimed at that sort of
vague general thing
probably, because that's how most people think, of Iran needs to be destroyed.
Okay, now we're gonna shift gears.
Imagine a family in
Tehran, in
Iran,
who don't pay that much attention to politics and things like that, and
government goings on. They mostly are trying to live their own lives, and they have their family, and they have their friends, and they have their
career, and they have their interests, and they have their hobbies, and they have all that, and
they're basically decent people trying to live their lives, and
of course, they are also surrounded by people who
believe similarly to each other. They're surrounded by
government propaganda and media propaganda that they probably imagined to be
more or less neutral reporting, when of course it isn't. It isn't in Iran, it isn't in Israel,
it isn't in the US, it isn't anywhere.
But they may not focus that much on it. They may just think, well, our country is great and awesome,
and yeah, our government, we may not like it, we may all the way hate some of the people in power,
but whatever, we're mostly just trying to live our own lives, and then one day,
bombs start falling in their neighborhood.
Buildings they know start crumbling to the ground, people they know are being blown up and killed.
Then, to those people, that's more real.
It matters more, or it feels like it matters more. Again, that is natural, that is understandable.
When it's in front of you, when suddenly it's in your life,
when it hits home,
literally hits home,
it suddenly means more.
And then if you know somebody who got killed, if you know some, your neighbors got blown up,
that will feel like a horrible atrocity way, way more
than reading some headline about something happening on the other side of the world.
And again, they're not gonna know exactly who did it. They're gonna think, well, Israel did this, or the US did this, or whatever.
Well, as someone who lives in the US, America didn't do that to you. I'm an American. I was born here, I live here, and
I have spent
massive amounts of time and energy over the last 30 years opposing the ruling class of the US as
the evil, power-happy, warm-ongering psychopaths they are.
So I didn't do that to you. I didn't want that to happen to you.
But it's still understandable. It's not that logical, but it's understandable for for them to think the US did this, or Israel did this.
Giant vague categories instead of
applying responsibility to the individuals actually involved in whatever happened, pressing buttons to launch missiles or flying planes or whatever.
So you have those two situations. We're real people who are trying to live their lives. Yeah, they're probably status most people are.
They may or may not support their own governments to one degree or another,
but they're mostly trying to live their lives. They're not violently attacking people, and yet bombs are landing in their neighborhoods.
Then you have a third example of
somebody over here in the US, and it's all just headlines to them. It's the other side of the world.
It's nothing's blowing up in their neighborhood, and they're confident it never will.
Which may or may not be the case.
But to people here, they can just read the vague thing. Oh, Iran attacked Israel, and Israel attacked Iran, and this is going on.
It's all vague. None of it's real.
None of it's actual people. It's not, here's somebody, you know their name, you know their life story.
You've lived with them for years, and they just got blown to bits by this bomb launched by
some military.
None of it's real for most Americans. They're just reading a story, and
it's a vague story written by
statists who kissed the ass of the ruling class over here, which happens to be on the side of the ruling class of Israel
right now.
So it's so easy for people to speak in generalities,
whichever side they're on. So there are a lot of people
looking at some of what's going on in Israel with bombs landing in Tel Aviv and all over the place, and
saying, well, you deserve it.
No, they don't. That family doesn't.
You can say the ruling class of Israel or a bunch of people in there who were specifically involved in the heinous crap that was done in Gaza,
in attacking Iran when they hadn't attacked.
You could very much make the case that Netanyahu deserved to have his fucking head blown off because he's an evil war-mongering piece of shit.
You could also make the argument that Donald Trump,
war-mongering piece of shit, deserves to have his head blown off for intentionally being directly involved in instigating violent aggression.
But that isn't Iran or Israel or the U.S.
It's particular people who actually did something, but most people don't think in those terms, and
the news never reports in those terms.
Doesn't list, here's the people who manned the missile silo that launched this thing that landed in Tel Aviv or that landed in Tehran.
The U.S. military did blah-blah-blah.
Israel did blah-blah-blah. Iran did blah-blah-blah.
Because they feed off of everyone else thinking in terms of groups.
And it's sad to watch so many people, including a bunch of pro-freedom people, lose sight of the specifics and the reality,
the individual reality of what's happening
to people in Iran who don't deserve it, to people in Israel who don't deserve it, to people in Gaza who don't deserve it,
but to people all over the place who don't freaking deserve this happening to them.
And so the, and right now I see a lot of people doing that with Iran getting, or Israel being hit by
missiles from the Iranian ruling class, and going, well, serves you right.
Well, no, if it landed on the people who instigated the violence, just them, just those individuals, yeah, that would serve them right.
But that's not how war works. It's not ever how war works.
And so people going, ha, ha, ha, I'm glad that Israel's being demolished.
If you could be there and it was real in front of you, and it was a family you would know for years,
and they're the ones who just had some of their family members blown to smithereens,
and you actually knew them, and you lived life with them for a while, you think you'd say, well, you deserve it,
because you live in this place that has a ruling class that did evil shit over there.
No, they don't. And if you think they do, and you're an American, by your own shitty logic, you deserve to be blown off the fucking planet.
Because you live in a place that has a ruling class that has instigated more war, more mass murder, more war crimes,
than any other in the history of the world. The U.S. government and its military is the biggest
terrorist organization in the history of the world. And if you want to say that the people living in a country
that has a ruling class that does that deserve to be killed, that's you. That's me.
That's everyone in this country. Do you really want to accept that premise?
Do you really want to argue in favor of your own extermination?
Because that's what you're doing if you say, well, people in Israel, you deserve this for what Israel did to Iran.
Israel didn't do anything to Iran. The military in the ruling class did evil shit. Now, here's where it gets
extra sad and problematic and annoying.
A huge portion of the people who live in Israel fall for the statist bullshit.
They think their government is the good guy just defending against evil mean people.
And that's not to say there aren't evil mean people involved in this, too. There absolutely are.
On both sides. And that doesn't mean there's the same number or the same level of evil that has nothing to do with what I'm talking about.
So a lot of the people in Israel make excuses for the warmongering of psychopaths like Netanyahu.
Just like so many Americans make excuses for the war crimes of
mango Mussolini and Hegseth and all those demented pieces of crap.
Who, by the way, are openly talking about the apocalypse. This is a Christian war like holy shit.
All the times people have pointed at Islam and complained at Muslims.
No, this is just their religion. They're just evil, bloodthirsty. Really?
Have you seen what Hegseth and the U.S. warmongers have said?
You want to try to explain to me why they're not religious murderous zealots?
Just as much as anyone, any Muslim is? Look at how they're talking.
But if you can't think in terms of specific responsibility and you think in terms of these vague things,
you will feed into the agenda of these evil shits because that's exactly what they want.
They want people unable to distinguish between a ruling class in the country.
They want people to think, well, if you live in Tel Aviv and got blown up, you deserve it.
Now you didn't. Even if you were dumb enough to fall for the status crap.
And I can say that because probably most of my neighbors, because most Americans fall for a lot of the status crap.
They think the U.S. is a good guy and we just offend, blah, our military, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
No they don't, but I don't want you blown to bits for being stupid enough to believe that shit.
And I don't want the people in Israel who are mostly minding their own business.
I don't want them blown to bits for believing the stupid status bullshit that they get fed,
the people in Iran. I don't want them blown to bits for falling for the authoritarian shit they fall for.
And so it's one of those things that, well, if you supported it and you voted for it and you pay
taxes that fund it and blah, blah, blah, at what point are you guilty enough that you kind of
deserve to be blown up? And you can debate that point all you want, but right now if you're
going rah, rah, rah for normal Israelis being blown up, you should be going rah,
rah, rah for normal Americans to be blown up because the warmongers in the U.S. government
are doing the same evil shit the warmongers in the Israeli government are doing. So why shouldn't
you be blown up as an American? If you're cheering that those people living in that country
whose ruling class did this evil shit, if that earns them a death sentence,
it earns you a death sentence too. If you learn how to think clearly and assign blame where it belongs
and responsibility where it belongs with the individual, then at least you'll narrow down
who it is you're mad at and who it is you're blaming and not blame millions and millions
of people who happen to live on a piece of dirt that's claimed by a certain set of psychopaths.
Because if you do that, other people should do that for you. And you know the whole thing about,
look at those Iranians going death to America. Yeah, they think exactly like Americans do.
That's pack mentality stupidity. It's the exact pack mentality stupidity that most Americans have.
When they go rah, rah, rah, we invaded this, we did this, you did that, this country did that.
But I would say death to America if I was a pack mentality idiot and I watched what the U.S.
government had done to countless countries in Middle East and South and Central America,
all over the whole freaking planet. If you associate the country with the ruling class,
then yeah, death to America. But if you do that, it's because you're a collectivist idiot,
just like if you cheer for random Israelis being murdered, you're a collectivist idiot. If you cheer
for what's going on in Iran and people being blown up there, you're a collectivist idiot.
And you're exactly the kind of collectivist idiot that allows this shit to happen,
because the response against a country allows for perpetual warmongering.
Because when the bombs land in Tehran, how many Iranians who are statists and collectivists,
because most people are, how many of them have the presence of mind to say, well,
I'm just blaming whatever particular individuals were involved in that?
And how many are saying, Israel did this. Let's hate Israel, the place, and everybody in it.
Most of them are going to respond that way. Same thing in the other direction.
People in Tel Aviv being blown up. Iran did this. We hate Iran, the whole place, everybody in it.
Because we can't think in specificity. And you have these tiny ruling classes. Yeah,
they have big war machines. But as far as numbers and numbers of politicians behind this
evil crap, it's really, really tiny compared to the actual population of any of these countries.
This is how this goes on. They want people suffering and dying. I've said this before,
the Israeli government wants Israelis to die. The American government wants Americans to die.
The Iranian government wants Iranians to die. And if you don't understand why,
then you don't understand how fucking evil ruling classes are. Because they don't give a shit
about the borders and these made up things. They care about their own power. And they know that
their own people dying and suffering is what will make people go rah, rah, rah for an authoritarian
solution. And that's what they want. And if you doubt it, I'll end with this.
All these times that this horrible government over there attacked this, and we're going to pretend
that Iran started this, even though no, it didn't. The U.S. warmongers and Israel started this.
But whoever you want to pretend started it, why do you suppose the response is never, well,
instead of blowing the crap out of millions of people over there or targeting all these
military bases, why don't we literally just hire assassins to kill the people that we know
gave the orders to do that? So you have U.S. and Israeli government just trying to assassinate the
people at the top of the Iranian government, and people in the Iranian government just trying
to assassinate the people at the top of Israeli and U.S. governments. By the way, I would be
all in favor of that. If evil tyrants only targeted other evil tyrants, good, have at it.
Why don't they? Because then they can't have perpetual war. That is the goal. A lot of people
still don't understand that. A lot of people think we're trying to have victory. They're not.
They're trying to have war. And chances are you're not demented and evil enough to be able
to relate to how the hell somebody would actually want that. Netanyahu wants perpetual
war. He doesn't want peace. Mango Mussolini, well, mango Mussolini is just a little bitch
of the war machine. He's not even in charge of anything. But they all want perpetual war.
That's why they have perpetual war. They're not trying to win. They're trying to have a war.
And people who don't understand that are going to go, we're going to win
if you're talking about the people, the people of the U.S., people of Israel,
people of Iran, people anyway. No, you're not. Normal people don't win the government wars
ever. They suffer and die horribly. No matter what the political outcome may be,
the only people who win wars are the warmongering psychopaths who create wars on purpose. And
if you're that eager and that easy to trick into going, well, Israel deserves this, or Iran
should be blown up and think in terms of these generalities and cheer for perpetual war, two things.
First of all, stopping an idiot. You're enabling the worst people in the world to make hell on earth.
And number two, if it does land in your neighborhood, it'll be a little bit your own
fucking fault for not understanding what's going on. The weird thing is I still won't want you
to be blown up because even if you're a status collectivist dupe, like most Israelis,
like most Iranians, like most Americans, like most human beings living on all the various
slave plantations known as countries, you're an idiot and you're a cheerleader for evil
and I still don't want you to die for it. And I don't want your children to die and I don't
want your neighbors to die. But that's going to keep happening until people in Israel, in Iran,
in the U.S. can stop having this idiotic collectivist mindset. And if you're going to be
righteously outrage, which you should be, have it focused on the individuals
deserving of your resentment and anger and hatred, not entire countries, not entire populations,
focus it at the aggressors, because if all the people just trying to live their own lives
would do that instead of cheering for more widespread warmongering against that country,
that entire population, that entire religion, Muslims are the problem.
Yeah, billion and a half Muslims, you think they're all bloodthirsty and evil?
Don't be that stupid. And the fact that so many people on all sides are collectivists and are
in one way or another usually cheering for authoritarianism against their own people
and against others, it's discharging. But if you ask me, it doesn't mean they all deserve to die.
Now, whether they all do die depends upon how psychotic the people they're cheering for,
the psychopathic warmongers really are. Right now, I wonder if there are any Israelis.
I'm sure there are. I don't know how many. How many people in Israel,
if a bomb just went off in your neighborhood, can say, I hate the people in Iran, the individual
people in Iran who made this happen. I also hate the people in my own fucking government,
my own government, who created this conflict. I hate the psychopaths in the US government.
And I wish that other random family in that other country being bombed. I wish them well too.
I want them protected. I want them safe. I don't want them blown up either.
That is the mentality that ends this. And it's a mentality almost nobody has.
After 9-11, that fake ass bullshit. How many Americans their first focus was,
well, the people living in whatever country did this, I have nothing against them.
If some military did it, whoever the particular people are, never mind that most of them were
probably in the US government. Yeah, that's horrible. Righteous anger is justified,
but not against vague categories, against the individuals actually responsible for this.
But most people get angry, and they get upset, and they get depressed, and they get infuriated,
and their anger is so vaguely directed that they'll cheer for any authoritarian answer.
In that case, literally got a war against a country that wasn't even alleged to have been
involved in 9-11. That's how mushy-headed people get when they're angry.
And the warmongers are going to keep making use of that until normal people figure out
the us versus them that matters has nothing to do with country boundaries.
The us I care about is the people trying to live their own lives.
The them we should hate and fear is anyone who claims the right to rule anyone in Israel,
in Iran, in the US, anywhere else on the planet. They are the enemy of humanity.
And on the bright side, when everybody figures that out, that relatively small percentage
of psychopaths doesn't have power anymore. They get their power from us. They get their
power from our stupidity, our gullibility, our collectivist mindset, our cheering for
an authoritarian solution to a problem that was usually created by government.
But it's so sad to watch so many innocent people being blown up in different places
and people taking sides, being in favor of any of that. It's just, it's a pathetic testament
to how gullible and stupid humanity still is. And I feel, for all the normal people trying
to live their lives, even if they're stupid, sadists, which most people are.
And someday humanity will get to the point where these bullshit tricks don't work anymore.
But we're not there yet.
