I've no words for this...
I had to stop the video and just seethe for a good minute when I saw the TikTok video of a residential demolition set to music. I remember the LiveLeak shit Yugopnik talks about here back in the day, and I have to say, these IDF tiktoks are more disgusting and stomach-turning than any of the execution videos I saw. There's no joy in those, just a pragmatic evil that sees the utility of killing people in a grisly way that sends a message. These IDF fucksticks are giddy with delight at the horrendous acts they're committing. It's enraging.

Are you sure they're even pragmatic at this point, when they post these videos?
The ICJ may have its own Nuremberg trial, based on such evidence...
Oh I see.../
No, the "pragmatic evil" is cartels posting a video of a guy being beheaded with a chainsaw as a message to specific people and then it gets leaked out onto the Internet at large. That's what I was referring to.
The IDF is just fully mask-off at this point, and like Yugopnik points out, they're amassing a large quantity of receipts and they're just spilling out of their pockets now. That's the silver lining.
I think he’s talking about the old school gore videos distributed by war criminals in the battlefield (ISIS, al Qaedad, Chechen and Yugoslav wars, etc.). I’ve read descriptions of some of those videos, and while horrific and obviously sadistic, it seemed the people back then were leaning on intimidation through rage.
Nowadays the IDF is smiling and dancing while they rummage through people’s houses and blowing them up and fantasizing about massacring families before actually doing it. It’s not just them either, but also the drug cartels in Latin America. Social media has been a round for a long time, but I think the reachability and ease of short term content like TikTok breeds a mentality of shock and awe outside of consumer marketing and viral memes.
If you watch videos posted by Palestinian fighters, while they praise and thank God and are excited to hit a target, they’re not out here dancing and goofing off on top of Israeli corpses. They’ll display the dead bodies or captured equipment after the fighting if necessary to prove their operation was successful, but they don’t seem happy at all to be in this situation
