Really rich people are creepy and they do creepy things. Billionaires spend a lot on media influence to manufacture consent for their existence and for the status quo their kingdoms are built on, but also because they need lots of PR assistance since they're so fucking creepy. Image
The richer you are the more divorced from normality you become. You don't even know how a normal person acts. It never even occurs to you that people will think you look creepy devouring a baked lizard or buying up vast swathes of America's farmland.
You lose the part of yourself that goes "Hmm, better not do that publicly, people will think I'm creepy."
Before you know it you're blasting off on a $5 billion carnival ride to space in a rocket that looks like a penis going "Yeah, this is fine. This is just normal stuff."
I mean, come on.
I mean, just saying you want to ship all the normal people into space to breed in giant rotating cylinders? That's creepy. That's really, really creepy.

And what's even creepier is the ways they're trying to cheat death so we'll be stuck with these freaks forever.

It's so obnoxious how even after all this time Israel is still given the benefit of the doubt on such claims by the western political-media class until they're debunked weeks later, long after the outcry over the incident has been muted and neutered by Israeli lies.
Investigations by researchers like @EuroMedHR had already found that the IDF opened fire on civilians right after the Flour Massacre; this report is from February 29. Not until a month and a half later does CNN step up and state the obvious.
euromedmonitor.org/en/article/6196
@EuroMedHR In the meantime the mass media gave full credence to Israel's lies and actively misrepresented what happened in their headlines, referring to the massacre as "food aid-related deaths" and a "chaotic incident":

Pretending The US Can't Just Drive Aid Into Gaza

Have they considered digging a giant tunnel to get aid into Gaza as well? Or launching aid into Gaza by building a giant slingshot? Or perhaps they could invent some type of portal gun à la Rick and Morty?
caitlinjohnst.one/p/pretending-t…
"Israel’s approval of West Bank settlements exposes the 'two state solution' for the lie that it is and makes it clear that the western power alliance has no meaningful position on Israel’s abusive treatment of Palestinians."
soundcloud.com/going_rogue/pr…
"It just says so much about the state of western civilization that even GENOCIDE has been turned into another vapid culture war wedge issue for people to masturbate their tribal identity constructs on."

Israel-Palestine Isn't 'Complicated', You Just Support Killing Palestinians

"Israel supporters can go ahead and stop babbling about hostages when trying to justify the attack on Gaza. It’s never been about saving hostages."
caitlinjohnst.one/p/israel-pales…
"Keep in mind when you read that the US is attempting to jail a journalist for exposing war crimes, that because of Gaza you actually now know what war crimes look like in real life."

Israel-Palestine Isn't 'Complicated', You Just Support Killing Palestinians

"Israeli media are now reporting that ten hostages were killed as a result of Israeli attacks on buildings where the IDF knew hostages were located."

Continuing To Support Israel At This Point Just Means You're A Garbage Human Being

"I am so fucking done with people handwringing about October 7 while Israel has been October 7ing the Gazans every day since."
caitlinjohnst.one/p/continuing-t…
"Four months. This has been happening for four months. If you’re still supporting Israel after four months of atrocities, then you’re just a shitty human being."

Continuing To Support Israel At This Point Just Means You're A Garbage Human Being

"After four months you’ve lost any possible claim to have overreacted to October 7 in the emotional heat of the moment, and this is just who you are as a person."

However Bad You Think Israel Is, It's Worse

"So it turns out the IDF has been running a Telegram channel featuring homemade snuff films in which Gazans are brutally murdered by Israeli forces, captioned with celebrations of the gore and pain therein."
caitlinjohnst.one/p/however-bad-…
"This is one of those many, many times where Israel is so awful that at first you’re not sure what you’re looking at. You think you must be misreading the report. Then you read it again and go Oh wow, that’s SO much worse than I would have guessed.”
soundcloud.com/going_rogue/ho…
"However bad you think Israel is, you can always be sure that information will come out later that proves it’s even worse."
