  • Yes. Marked by opulence and a distracted upper class, depending on foreign born nationals and the impoverished to defend them from the mob. A military class they eventually spit on and denied access to anything “Roman” which wasn’t a great incentive for you know, defending them from their own disgruntled citizens or enemies at their door. They cared more about their money and orgies and pedophelia than they did at maintaining the cogs of Empire of which their lifestyle depended. Bread and circuses and a whole lot of arrogant prejudice.



  • 2027, It’ll be done by 2027. Everyone is confused about what is happening now— but Hamas knows if they release all of the hostages and Israel goes right back to their BS the whole world is now watching. The West is shifting heavily and the Arab nations too. Israel thinks it can bandage its reputation through manufacturing more and more consent by buying up airtime like CBS and The Times. But they can’t. And their arrogance repeatedly betrays them.

    Their supremacist ideals will be their downfall. They’re flailing already and willing to throw punches any which way that suits their current tantrums. As they escalate, the world will become steadily more intolerant of their mess.

    Also, on a religious note, many Gazans know the end of Gaza marks the beginning of the fall of Israel. If you’re meant to survive you will, if you’re meant to be martyred then that is from Allah SWT. This doesn’t mean they aren’t outraged many days at Hamas and what is happening period but most regular people have little control and accept that this has to happen. That it’s already written and that their faith, and Israelis lack of faith, will determine the ultimate outcome. (I’m not saying anyone wants to die or wants this to happen, they just find solace in their faith in the acceptance of they and their loved ones fates.)

    There is no future where Israel does not expose themselves— where even the Rocks and Trees bear witness against them. And when Israel full on marches on Damascus, it’s game over, and they’ve already been toying with the idea. So I’d keep a close eye on Syria as well. But Israel must grow in order to fall, at least that’s the theory held by many. And a toppled giant will indeed shake the world.

    WWIII started the day Israel rolled her tanks back into Gaza. It was the lighting of the fuse. We can’t stop the unraveling now, it’s too late.





  • If you lose your memories, are “you” dead?

    No, because other people hold many of those memories for you. And while memories and conditioning play a role in personality they aren’t the end all on who we are. We are still us, even if a bit “different” from before.

    If a close relative/friend lose their memories, are they still “your relative/friend”?

    Absafuckinglootly, because I carry that friendship and _I _ owe that loyalty. Just because they can’t remember us, I don’t get to abandon them. Loyalty. People need to learn it.

    What the hell even is memory? How sentimental are you about memories?

    Memory to me is often jarring and annoying. I suffer from unrequested flashbacks frequently.

    But, memory is kind of amazing because you can have a shared memory with someone and it be completely different from their experience. Memory is so malleable, and often a coping mechanism, both natural and taught, for dealing with traumas is literally rewriting your memory to something you can live with. Shaving off the pieces you can’t or making them more “dull”.

    I had night terrors after a bad accident until my brain literally rewrote the visuals of some of it and while I could verbalize it to you, I couldn’t “relive” that piece anymore which was a huge physical and emotional relief when it finally happened. And I didn’t do it, my brain did it on its own. Memory is weird.

    Memory is often deceitful anyway, so relying on it as heavily as we do is actually kind of odd. Our perceived memory is stronger than the real event. We catalog all kinds of other information on top of what is actually the “present”. Think about when you wake up and commit a dream to memory. The retelling of the dream to yourself is actually stronger than the dream itself. Our “story” is the memory not the “present”.

    Neat question. I could ramble on this topic for a long time…
