That’s not what anarchism is.
I like to call anarchism as neighborliness extended as a political ideology. Consider it libertarianism with a pinch of collectivism
You do it all the time when you organize a group of friends to go to the movies. There is no elected leader.
When Russia invaded Ukraine, they destroyed a lot of public and military comms infrastructure, so the military ended up teaming up with anarchists because they had a decentralized comms going.
Anarchism is compatible with existing political ideologies, however in my opinion works best at small scales.
I don’t think the analogy to Egypt works, because they have a peace treaty.
We all know Israel and Saudi Arabia have a shared adversary in the form of Iran. The US wants them to normalize so they can take care of that front.
As for getting impaled on the stick, I’d say Pakistan got impaled on the stick, because its likely they were the ones hiding Bin Laden.
As for Saddam falling on the stick, that was due to Iraq’s invasion of Kuwait over several reasons: a desire to reunify, oil, and Kuwait debt. That’s on top of having a history of using chemical weapons for mass murder.
And as we know, the US loves oil, but so does the world. Globalized markets want to be stable, and the US helps with that
A lot of people dont understand US foreign policy. Do not interpret my post as taking a stance.
US foreign policy is all about 3 key issues, carrot and stick diplomacy, containing China and Russia, and protecting the global market.
Carrot and stick diplomacy is using positive reinforcement to make changes in totalitarian governments.
Containing China is all about making friends with countries near China and putting a base there, along with allowing companies, military arms deals, and joint intelligence to happen in that country.
- That is why the US wants Saudi Arabia and Israel to normalize. And do to that, the US turns a blind eye to tons of bullshit done by countries in the Middle East. If they were to normalize, then a solid logistics chain from Europe to the Gulf can be established, and the two countries would bolster the front there. Then the US could pivot its power projection over to Taiwan.
- The US is powerful, but its not tactically sound to manage three fronts at the same time.
If you remember how pissed off the US got when Russia put missiles in Cuba, then you can see why China and Russia will team up with everyone they can to foil this plan to contain them.
Since the world is now globalized, the US has to protect lots of boats carrying oil, chips, and food. If something fucks up, then everyone pays for it. Of course, if youre resisting western imperialism then its in your best interest to make people suffer by blowing up the boats.
Now geopolitics makes sense.
From here, then if youre an idealist, you can make an informed opinion on US foreign policy. Should the US continue its world police campaign at the expense of people suffering under its allies?
Can you achieve US foreign policy goals without suffering?
Will a reversal of US foreign policy lead to more domestic suffering in the West due to economic turmoil?
These questions should be debated and examined thoroughly.
Nope its definitely accurate!
Indycar does not have a constructors championship, and the format encourages each car to operate as its own team, and since all the teams (except McLaren) are owned by one random guy, that encourages them to make each car they field to have more sponsors. And the brand appeal of like, one guy, isn’t as powerful as something like McLaren, a famous car company with the color Orange.
Anyone heard of Penske? RLL? Meyer Shank? Dale Coyn? No. Aside from Penske, those other names are only big names within Indycars history, just like Hendricks is only big inside Nascar history.
IndyCar is pretty popular, but because of the company split in the 90s, there was no one to compete with Nascar throughout the 90s and 00s in terms of US popularity. So essentially the entire series is really behind and hasnt built up financial appeal to sponsors.
Thus, in order to keep staying in business, the teams sell ad space on the cars anytime they can, leading to teams running special liveries for one race, a driver bringing a big sponsor so the team changes the car to accomodate, and all the cars look different.
Different enough to warrant a spotters guide for a few races.
IndyCar could change that by enforcing a team liverie, but I bet the teams wouldn’t like that.
For an average race, the teams don’t really do team orders. It’s VERY rare. And teams usually allow their own drivers to fight hard all the time. Since teams as a whole don’t affect the race, you don’t focus on that much.
Team owners only care if one of their drivers causes another to crash, and they don’t care who wins because each driver they field is another chance at a win.
I don’t know if you’re referring to Gaza or Israel on October 7th, but here’s a press conference about the burned bodies.
You understand what you’re saying right.
This was a big media press conference, and the presenter. The presenter, was Dr. Chen Kugel. This was a slide on his own presentation. Do you understand?
Boom:

Video of the actual press conference.
Please relent, it’s giving me a headache.
He does address all the scans, the metal wire in the photo, right there, direct quotes from him too I should have led with this. Around minute 6 is when the images posted come up.
Please watch the video, please please I feel like I’m going insane. I should have led with it but I didn’t know there was video of the whole press conference.
Well look.
If this were any other country in Europe or the US, no one would be questioning the doctors, the first responders, and news outlets who report their claims. Because ultimately, that’s what’s going on here.
If you acknowledge that this is an unconventional response to such overwhelming proof, I will reserve my pure bewilderment.
And if you’re still questioning the Metal wire, yes, it’s in the Media Line report. Check the scanned image. It’s literally right there, bottom right of the scan you can see the metal loop, and follow it around the bodies.
Do you want the Telegram archive? I have access to 2. One that shows live killings, as corroborated by the BBC, NYT, who were shown the same footage at a screening in Israel, and one that shows images and CCTV uploaded by first responders.
Actually, it’s not embellished at all, in fact, if you’ve seen the archives, most reports under-sell the atrocities. You have to wonder why both The Media Line and The Guardian were at the same press conference, yet The Media Line chose to show the picture with the metal wire.
It’s because The Media Line clearly has an agenda to garner an emotional response from its audience?
That can certainly be true.
Another point of view is that sources like The Guardian are irresponsible for not showing the images when many people are accusing Israel of embellishment.
Yes there is a picture and there is a metal wire there and there are more, multitudes more.
There are trucks filled with burnt bodies, there’s images of a burnt child running and falling. There’s videos of smoke still rising from the bodies as first responders reach the scenes.
But you know, if you want more, here you go.

https://www.haaretz.com/0000018b-3313-dff1-a5eb-ffffee6f0000
Now you have BBC who corroborates the metal wire, and Haaretz that describes the beheaded babies as accurate, both well known and trusted sources.
If you actually want the archive with the first responder telegram that corroborates all this too I can PM it also.
