    Crumbling material conditions and the Palestinian genocide.

    The US backing of Israel as well as the genocide getting more traction in the public mind has lifted the veil for a lot of "libs who only called themselves libs because they believed it was the left leaning side".

    You can tell the US is SUPER pissed that the truth about Palestine got traction. (The whole reason they want to ban TikTok is because they believe that was the weak link in their control of the narrative)

      Yeah I think global platforms showing the genocide have been a massive problem for libs. It's hard to feel morally superior to someone while you're defending the people mutilating children on a post showing the mutilated kids. It starts to puncture the illusion of being the reasonable good guy when you're telling people to ignore the bodies.

      And their vassals too, like Germany is arresting Jews for antisemitism because they criticized Israel and France just did a public intimidation spectacle arrest of a nurse who was back from Gaza and telling people what really happens there.

        The UK is cracking down hard on pro-Palestine journalists here by misusing anti-terror laws too.

          Considering the UK is a dictatorship of the bourgeoisie with a big stake in the Zionist Entity's continued existence, I think those laws are being used as intended.
