It’s obviously not worth the cost being paid in Gaza but this prolonged masks-off peek at the radical moral corruption of basically every institution in US cultural and political life sure is an education.
It’s like somebody said, What grotesque contortions are you willing to squeeze your one and only soul into to help sustain a genocide? And then everyone with any proximity to power jumped up and said, Look!
@BenEhrenreich What amazes me is that anyone ever thought this wasn't the case. Like, I remember Iraq WMDs, the war on terror, Abu ghraib, drone strikes in Yemen & Pakistan, libya etc None of those made me think "na US institutions still have the moral high ground" It's literally a repeat
@BenEhrenreich Often think of this tweet; obviously applies to many other Western countries, too.

@BenEhrenreich @tanita_tikaram I dont know why anyone bothers with an education at an ivy league US university- massively overrated in the first place massively lower standard than a lot of top European universities and now they have thrown any moral stabding in the dumpster.
@BenEhrenreich Where's Kfir?
@BenEhrenreich You can tell everything you will ever need to know about anyone, by where they stand on Gaza.
@BenEhrenreich @chebhocine An education, if it's not the beginning of an erasure of all education, I guess. Is this not just a 'reveal', but also a step change of a kind in capitalism's long jettisoning of democracy?
@BenEhrenreich @moorehn I’m ready to go! I can’t sleep thinking and worrying about how every day we get closer to authoritarianism. We’re already an oligarchy!!
