It's been interesting to hear the kids' chatter. My kids aren't in school, so they are less of a source.
But I hear it from my clients. Apparently, being "for Israel" or "for Palestine" is a hot topic.
It turns my stomach a bit, to be honest...and I realize that this doesn't necessary relate directly to your post. What I mean is, this is a deep, nuanced issue, that is being philosophically discussed by extremely bright minds...who haven't "solved" it. Yet, the younger generation has boiled it down to a popularity contest. A friend just told me that his son's girlfriend is converting to judaism in solidarity (🤯). But that's the new generation. Binaries.
And it makes me feel disappointed in parents - LARGELY DISAPPOINTED. Because this is not the way out. Choose a side. And then shoot your mouth off, with little to no understanding, of ANYTHING. And I'm sorry to say that the adults are hardly much better.
All that to say...that I appreciate you, Tereza. I wish more people would take the time to look at all the angles. Because there are rarely ever two.
Great comment, that the youth are into binaries ;-) in everything but gender.
I'm thinking, though, perhaps there are only two sides: empire vs. sovereignty. We're always on the defensive or fighting among ourselves, and perhaps we need to think through the rules (nomos) that we'd implement for our purpose (logos).
My book does that for existing communities but doesn't look at this thorny question of displacement through aggression. The short answer is that it's like my daycare person had for toys: it doesn't matter if the rule is that it belongs to the person who brought it or the person who has it now, it just has to be the same rule no matter who it applies to. I think she ended up with a hybrid where new toys belonged to the one who brought it and old toys belonged to whoever was playing with it at the time. Maybe something like that would work ;-)
LoL! The total denial of reality is the final step of control. Woke is a key weapon in the ptb's goal for ultimate control. Fortunately the woke world is crumbling at an accelerating rate. Fascinating times.
There is a problem with even that binary! I examine that in my series on 'Obediene to Authority'. Binary thinking is the means to controlling the narrative by creating a deserving and undeserving. THAT is the ground level of all binary because it gives authority and acquiescence to killing the undeserving.
'Taking sides' is so childish. How dumbed down we have become as a society? I have realised all wars/conflicts are orchestrated by a small minority in order for them to fulfill an agenda. Everyone else is a pawn in a game, (unless they refuse to be one).
I have been struck by the constant use on Fox news of the word "surgical strikes", with the repeated imagery of a building or buildings being obliterated. It is reminiscent of the Covid gene manipulation called a vaccine that is resulting in an epidemic of "died suddenly" and extreme ongoing excess mortality particularly among the young. Modernism is increasingly deadly, in the name of progress.
That's very interesting, glad you can be my Fox News spy and report back ;-) Pretty soon they'll be calling them mRNA strikes, only targeting the rogue cells ... oh with turbo cancer but don't mind that!
This was very interesting, Tereza. And it has again given me quite a bit to think about. I'll be writing about some of it for my next essay. It has made some things very clear to me, connected several dots.
As to your take on my take on how words are taken (or given), you are sort of correct. I hope to examine that more closely at some time. For example, in dream interpretation Jung often looked deeply into the etymology of words to eke out meanings. And yet the contemporary usage was also important. And do words such as 'paedophile' have validity because those who originated it were loving to children? Or even words like democracy whose etymology is not as people think and its adoption by the wealthy was either a condescending joke, an insider joke, or a kind of psyop similar to the names of the various so-called corona viruses. A complex discussion, this challenge of the spell of words and their origin, history, and usage. Sorry I'm not in position right now to elaborate more fully here. Some will show up in the next essay!
I am against BOTH sides, because the SAME evil forces are training, funding, and arming, BOTH "sides" the same as in ALL wars for the past 150 years.
We should mind our OWN business. OUR Nation is presently collapsing while our tax dollars fund BOTH sides and supply both sides with weapons. Ever heard of the CIA? THEY trained the enemies of Israel and caused them to attack. And Israel is also funded and armed by the U.S.
ENOUGH. It's not my circus, and those are not MY monkeys.
The IDF and Hamas are certainly both funded by Israel and Israel certainly gets more foreign aid, by a long shot, than any other country. So in that sense it's funded by the US. According to Whitney Webb, the CIA and Mossad work hand in glove in the pedo-sadist blackmail cult. Who do they both answer to? I'm not sure. It's definitely not Biden, who's a sock puppet with a hole in the toe. I don't see anyone in the US who's strong enough to be pulling the strings, although I may be wrong. I think it's more like to be the WEF answering to the Rothschilds or Black Nobility or Sabbateans. We agree that the US should not be funding or arming Israel, for all the good that our disapproval does.
That's an excellent suggestion. And congrats, you're the first email that came through on my retrometro account in a week. I'm changing hosting services because none of my websites are working and I'm down to one functional email but it has been less distracting, I must admit.
Thanks for the comment, Fritz. Interesting link. Is there a reference to Jews giving the smallpox-laden blankets to native Americans? I've heard of the incident but not that link. Julius Skoolafish, who I know is on the same page as you in many things, has a link to a documentary on the 13 Sugar Colonies. I haven't watched it yet.
It's interesting to me that you reject the Bible for what it says about God giving the right to rule over the world to the Hebrews (as do I) and about Jesus, yet you use its language to describe the 'enemy' as Satan. Isn't Satan a Biblical construct? Why would it tell the truth about that, rather than being a way to literally demonize the anti-imperial insurgents, as Biblical scholar Elaine Pagels points out?
I think the download from the Universe was in that leaf that clunked down on my head ;-) Happy to be on the same wavelength as you, Ratio. Spill, friend, are you now a married man?

I can see another episode in the works ...
That made me laugh, Tereza...so true...binaries everywhere, except gender 🙌🏼

Well stated, especially this.

Good night.
Totally on democracy! And yes I do wonder whether its adoption by the wealthy was a condescending joke.
NOT taking a "side."
I am against BOTH sides, because the SAME evil forces are training, funding, and arming, BOTH "sides" the same as in ALL wars for the past 150 years.

Thanks for the link, Tirion, I've heard of the book but haven't read it.
And sometime I need to do an episode on Frances' research on the Black Nobility and Nefahotep's on the Sabbateans.
