“All this to say, please please please don’t let Gaza be a one-off in terms of your opposition to the imperial machine. Keep your eyes fiercely trained on its actions after this is over, and help bring as much attention to its crimes as possible. If you’re not sure about a particular conflict that’s in the news there are many great resources available for helping you sort out fact from fiction with regard to the empire and its propaganda spin.
The empire didn’t just start getting crazy and evil with Gaza. It’s always doing things like this. It always lies about them. The mass media always help it lie. Gaza isn’t some aberration in its usual behavior, it’s just more obvious.”
I waited almost 6 months for my library hold of #Doppelganger by #NaomiKlein to turn up - a fact I’m extremely heartened by. It’s intelligent & insightful & compassionate in its exploration of online #misinformation, conspiracy theories & the descent into these of the woman the author is frequently confused with #NaomiWolf@bookstodon
