Fascinating piece I think. Thank you. Few of us want to admit violence is fun and war is exciting. Only until the 50s did so many famous people espouse the excitement of battle. There is that.
However, the use of Final Solution here for Gaza is despicable. I recommend 10 documentaries on the Nazis and the Holocaust. Its repulsive to even dare use that term for what is a complex conflict in which both sides have points. Israel is not trying to wipe out Gaza. Its trying to wipe out an ersatz ISIS.
The anti-imperial woke lunacy of the past ten years has blinded most western thinkers. Most of life in an empire is being better off than the ramshackle state you had in the first place. Yup. Palestinians will be drinking lattes like most of us on Substack, safe and secure, worried about their Netflix queue, if they just join a very powerful, modern state. I would.
Have you discussed this with Putin? Had you pointed out all this he would probably have decided not to invade Ukraine.
The concept of "progress" toward Kumbaya World is naively idealistic. The best most societies can hope for is benevolent dictatorship. I'll take democracy any day over being a vassal under Hamas.
I'd rather die than live in their empire and they are the ones forcing us to make that choice.

So much intellectual masturbation.
