training day 3 what most of us who are used to politicking don't/can't say back in the day, to justify 'emergency law' here (very repressive, unlimited executive power), the regime had to prove we were vulnerable to attacks during the revolution, when we raided their dungeons and offices it came out that the police had orchestrated attacks against Coptic churches don't get me wrong there is absolutely prejudice and bigotry against Christians here but this is a mil/police state we can't breathe without paperwork nothing happens without them knowing any criminal activity is very much under their permission so when I hear that the people who have been trapped on a strip of land for 20 years without water or electricity who can't yawn without somebody screaming at them for it at a checkpoint suddenly have the mil infrastructure to take down THE IRON FUCKIN DOME and are crossing the impenetrable border against the strongest army in the region with PARACHUTES do you know how long it takes to land in a parachute? and then collect yourself off the ground? long enough to get shot, long enough to get shot a lot of times I don't know what bullshit is happening but propaganda machines don't give a shit about people dying this was not the outcry for Ukraine or the 2000 people in Afghanistan they're whipping up emotion for something something fucked up and terrifying ----- I'm typing this on a VPN on the bus I don't have microwave safe tupperware so I brought a bowl and spoon and a box of Egyptian moussaka and rice 5 new people joined yesterday and there will be newbies today our funny morbid trainer did her dead inside smile as she recapped everything, it was very boring, we got sick literally, head aches and eye flare ups and fainting trainer lady was texting at 4 in the morning on our WhatsApp group she's still texting now the chaos has begun |
