Reply to How to Turn Books into Objects of Desire - insanely depressing essay from the head of a marketing agency by devtesla
I have yet to read this piece, but let me just say how much I appreciate the availability of book piracy nowadays. I'd be trapped in a prison of unaesthetic ignorance without it, for sure.
It's almost conventional to write about how I still buy books and want to support authors etc. after admissions like these, but eh, why bother? It will take a long time to come up with alternative systems of supporting creative labor.

My favorite part was when the waiter served our protagonist rat poison. Big proletariat energy right there.

Oh my fucking God this is true
Their defense was this: https://twitter.com/cryptoland/status/1480191582909440005
"Our twitter is run by several people and not all of them are native english speakers."
What was the supposed interpretation then??? Like, I have heard some painful stories from non-native english speakers about mixups, but this just sounds like bullshit. You'd think they'd be quick to state specifically what the mistake was if that is the excuse they go with.

i know somebody who is sephardi and has family in israel and she would definitely bring this up as a fact to say that people know nothing about israel so i guess its important if you are interacting with anyone like that.

sure but no westerner knows or cares about that. israel is a white country like south africa is a white country. the details have nothing to do with it

Israel is white, Palestine is brown/Israel is white, Palestine is muslim
this is definitely a way that people are gonna defend them but there is also a large collection of jewish israeli people who have a long family history in the middle east and definitely would not be considered white in any sense, and i feel like that's important to understand too.
the mizrahi/sephardi haredim (super orthodox) conservative religious party in the knesst holds more seats than the ashkenazi equivalent, for example.

-
israel is the Only Democracy In The Middle East and needs to be protected from islamist fundamentalists
-
israel is Under Attack by Hamas Rockets from Terrorist Palestine therefore any retaliation is just and fair
-
israel is the Homeland Of The Jews. Jews need a Homeland. Jews made the Desert Bloom. you would deny Jews a Homeland?
-
the gathering of jews in israel is necessary to usher in the end times that will deliver us from these godless heathens https://inthesetimes.com/article/christians-united-for-israel-zionism-john-hagee-donald-trump-israel-palestine-iran therefore any action that puts jews in israel is good and fair, because it brings them towards conversion to christianity or being sent to hell by jesus' final judgment
-
Israel is white, Palestine is brown/Israel is white, Palestine is muslim
-
Israel is a sensible law abiding nation while Palestine is unruly and uncivilised
blah blah blah

Various and heterogeneous, from real political ones as de facto supporting US interests, eschatological ones concerning Israel's place in the second coming of Jesus such as with right wing evangelicals, tradition of Zionism proper from The Jewish State of Theodor Herzl forward.
Also, states use whatever bullshit necessary to bolster their actions, Israel is not wholly special in that regard.
