In the video, Ben Gvir points towards what appears to be an active construction site and says the complex will include “viewing chambers where crime victims will be able to come and watch” Palestinians being hanged.

I’ve been saying this too for a long time. People make trite references to the past about overthrowing oppressive regimes, but they forget how fundamentally different the current situation is. The level of technology and surveillance is unprecedented. The destructive capacity of military technology, the precision it can be used with, the impersonal nature of it and layers of obscurity to hide behind, it’s all unprecedented.
Some people act like everyone is just being a coward for not rising up against it, but there’s such thing as caution. Self-preservation is important in battle. If everyone charges to their deaths just to prove how brave they are, they lose the war pretty quickly. Winning wars is about entrenchment, defensibility, logistics, communications, and intelligence. Oh and diplomacy/international support. All of that before offensive procedures. And technology is not small part of that, nor is access to resources.
Yet accelerationist keyboard warriors act like anyone with an AR-15 can stand up and do something about it. It’s so ignorant.
And they’ll trash and demean anyone with the mildest experience in that sort of thing. They chafe at the idea of leadership, central organization, discipline, etc. All of which are necessary in order to coordinate an efficient resistance force and wage effective battles.
They don’t understand the difference between the tactical, operational, and strategic levels of war planning either.
A few lone wolf attacks won’t accomplish anything but turning public opinion against a cause. The opposition will view them as crazy, violent extremists. Anyone sympathetic with the resistance will view them as vain/stupid/self-aggrandizing/savior-complex, etc… The neutrals will view them as one or the other, maybe a mix of both.
That’s another thing, the left scorns the idea of heroism, as if individual contributions don’t matter. You can’t have a collective effort without a sum total of individual contributions. But if I die for this cause, my “allies” will just spit on my body because “we don’t beed a hero”? That’s sure to inspire courage and loyalty, right…?
