What blows my mind is that the right wingers have such an incredible capacity for reason on occasion and they let hatred and bigotry win out, they're legit insane.
Israel's first instinct after october 7th for months was to mass murder children and women until the world was like "yo, not cool" Israel is not electing people who are capable of rational decision making, and part of that is because America and the West is shielding them from any and all consequences for their actions. Allowing AIPAC to attack, silence, bully, and undermine American democracy is weakening Israel because Israel knows it has no right to exist fundamentally. a "right to exist" is a ridiculous notion to begin with. The west believing it has any right to enable an ethnostate with overt and unambiguous goals of genocide is absolute absurdity. Israel as a concept can exist, Israel as a Zionist utopia has no right to exist.
All frustration is born out of a lack of control. Control that never truly existed in the first place. You're leaving our relationship? My business isn't doing well? You're not laughing at my jokes. My pet is dying. That stranger was rude to me! Not one of these things is controllable because it relies on another. Now hatred, that is love plus control. Love is just love, love happens effortlessly, love is our standard state of being. We are born loving the first people we grow up with, we naturally love anyone who we spend an amount of time with. Hatred happens when someone or something we care about spirals out of OUR control.

Uh oh, your band mate expressed himself which put your brand at risk. You've done so well not stepping on any of the wrong toes, you've made all the correct decisions, your partner made his bed, better course correct! The spectacle is the true value! You've shown fealty, you'll be accepted back into the circle after a few lashings. You're the lesson to so many others, you've behaved very well. A good boy. What's your comradeship worth? Not this much! Not all the future what ifs, yes you have enough but you could have so much more! You are an artist in the spotlight, your brand is silly and edgy, but not too edgy. Not THIS edgy. Artists feeling they have the same responsibility as politicians and the powerful is sad. I cant absolutely say if I was a popular artist I wouldn't choose loyalty to the machine when the machine provides a thriving existence, but when your critique is of the powerful and not punching down, apologies feel like cowardice.
