Never Stop Being Shocked By The Depravity Of The Empire

A friend of mine shared my article about how the Biden administration is worried the pause in fighting will allow journalists into Gaza to show Israel's crimes to the world, saying he knows he shouldn't be surprised by how evil these freaks are but somehow he still is.

I told him I actually consciously cultivate the ability to stay surprised by such things. If you stop being surprised when you see the world's most powerful people always finding new and innovative ways to make the world a worse place for ordinary human beings, it means it's become normalized in your system in some way. It means that on top of all the other horrible evils they've inflicted upon our world, they've also managed to steal an important part of your humanity.
