It's frustrating how common it is to mount opposition by rhetorically depriving a target of all virtues.
Good strategy requires understanding both positive and negative, and how they interact.
"Nietzsche was an artful chauvinist" is a sharper critique than "Nietzsche was bad."

🇮🇹 BREAKING: Italy Sees Massive General Strike in Solidarity With Gaza
Italy is seeing a powerful 24-hour general strike today, Sept. 22, as millions of workers across transport, education, logistics, and other sectors are expected to join protests for Gaza. The strike has been announced by the Unione Sindacale di Base (USB) with USB, CUB, ADL, and SGB unions also participating, and demanding an end to Italian arms sales to Israel, sanctions, and a new foreign policy approach that prioritizes stopping the genocide.
➤ Trains, buses, taxis, ports, and schools are shut down across the country – with only air travel mostly running as normal.
➤ Unions are linking Gaza solidarity to broader social justice and labor demands, calling for housing investment, welfare expansion, and better workplace safety.
➤ Rallies and blockades are underway in ports of Genoa and Salerno, and also Rome, Milan, and other cities, demonstrating broad popular support for ending the genocide and backing Palestinian rights.
🚨Genoa dock workers threaten port shutdown on Sept. 22 if flotilla to Gaza is impeded -- a strike that could shut down European commerce.

President Maduro says the US military buildup in the Caribbean is aimed at Venezuela's oil, gas and gold reserves, which are among the biggest in the world. He says the US is creating “Hollywood stories” about narco-trafficking to portray him as the villain and justify intervention.

Compete capitulation by the UN today. The backstory:
1. Israel accused Hamas of using SA as a weapon of war, demanding they be blacklisted, an official designation with diplomatic consequences.
2. The UN asked to investigate. Hamas agreed, Israel refused.
3. Israel instead invited Pramila Patten, with no investigative mandate, to visit and write a report. She did so.
4. Israel then produced its own report, through Patten’s friend and former colleague @KaddariRuth, by The Dinah Project
(That’s a reference to the story of Dinah in the Old Testament. Dinah is a victim of SA and her brothers respond by killing everyone in the town. The title made clear the purpose of the allegation was to launch a genocide.)
5. Major reports emerge, with video evidence, of systemic SA of Palestinians in Israeli prisons and detention centers.
6. The UN announces it is blacklisting Hamas, per Israel’s demand, but does not blacklist Israel, merely warning them to do better.
7. In about 2 decades, if it still exists, the UN will apologize for this when it no longer matters
