Well written with a glimmer of hope. At first, thought this was about the other F word that I despise.

“There is a whole art and science to being simple - to being true and to being human”

Love this sentence. It describes my approach towards life. Thanks for the good read. 😊

I think what has become abundantly clear… (at least to some of us), is that an all controlling fascistic mechanism now lies beneath a thinly veiled facade of democracy. The “F word” directs all.

I have no preference as to who wins this war between Hamas and Israel. Hamas does not recognize the Geneva warfare protocols and they should not expect to be treated in accordance with them in a war. Let them fight it out and let everybody else mind their own business. Every body else stay out of it and settle this once and for all. If other countries do not use constraint, this will only get worse and spread, once it does, you won't be able to get the war genie back in the bottle.

I have come to the conclusion that mediation and diplomacy have never worked in that conflict and never will as long as malevolent third parties, keep stirring the pot, at the expense of innocents in Gaza and Israel.

Fascism appears to be a lot like communism.

Maybe not in the "words" of the intelligentsia, but certainly in their outcomes.

Indeed they do, but these are hardened criminals who dared to perform a public protest at the Capitol. Satire.
