We are complicit in a holocaust and a horror hidden from us by our own government. They stood over 50 times and applauded evil. This is now what we are a part of… I’m horrified. Horrified.
It is my fear … one day soon we will wake up to news that will put most Americans into a coma. We are so spoiled and ignorance. Ignorance is NOT bliss. Crazy crazy times
I cannot disagree … only add… my Indigenous elders from around the world informed me, when I was young, that everything would magnify. Evil out of the box and filled with blood lust. That picture, is the next level of evil.
Given our active support for the US/Israel genocide, consider it a portrait of the United States as well. I will do a Substack featuring the image and I encourage everyone to push this image onward to help nudge American awareness of exactly who we are and what it is we are funding, arming and diplomatically excusing.
Silence and passivity in the face of evil is evil. When you do speak out don't be surprised if long-time friends and even family turn on you, or good liberal Democratic colleagues dismiss you as "impractical" or lecture that "now is not the time, democracy is at stake, shut up and fall in line." All of that is manifestation of evil. Don't let that vapid crap silence you. The children of Gaza and the West Bank need us to speak out relentlessly against Israeli ZioNazism and the grip it has on the (not 'our') government.
Do what you would hope others would do if you and your family were being victimized by two fascist governments.
It’s quite possibly the most horrific image I’ve ever seen, and being a photographer I’ve seen many; it is on a par with photos of Nazi atrocities. If you aren’t affected on a visceral level and get physically ill then you are deeply flawed. Silence and passivity? I’ll simply quote Aaron Bushnell before he struck a match:
"Many of us like to ask ourselves, 'What would I do if I was alive during slavery? Or the Jim Crow South? Or apartheid? What would I do if my country was committing genocide?' The answer is, you're doing it. Right now…”
Evil was always there. It has been focused on destroying sensitive people so it could take power and then destroy the rest. The meek shall inherit the earth is not just some cute saying. It means literally the most sensitive will ultimately be the ones who survive. Hierarchy must end so that greed can die with it.
“The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the human mind to correlate all its contents. We live on a placid island of ignorance in the midst of black seas of infinity, and it was not meant that we should voyage far. The sciences, each straining in its own direction, have hitherto harmed us little; but some day the piecing together of dissociated knowledge will open up such terrifying vistas of reality, and of our frightful position therein, that we shall either go mad from the revelation or flee from the deadly light into the peace and safety of a new dark age…”

Indeed…after watching how Americans behaved during Covid, it’s unthinkable how we’d respond to a REAL national emergency…

Resist.

Absolutely!
The guilt spreads across the land and sink deep into the dark fiber of the crumbling American empire.
I can’t believe what I am seeing! Where is the outcry?

Disgusting ZippOS!
Existence is resistance!
I read and write and don’t even go outside anymore. It’s that bad. It is all I can do.
Wow … Must find that
