I will say it's laughable to claim that it's 'not a coincidence that Israel's attacks coincide with high profile events' (i.e. the met gala). That's the most US centric thing I've ever heard. Do you really think war officials are designing their onslaught based around a fashion party in the US? Like they're criminal masterminds using the influence of the global cultural powerhouse that is the US to distract the people of... Checks notes... The entire world so that they can bomb Palestine unsuspectingly?
Youse sound like conspiracy theorists.
No one actually gives a fuck about the Met Gala. For those who like it, it's just about the fashion photography that comes out a day later. For most it's an event detached from place and from time and it's occurrence actually has nothing to do with the recent attack. But it's the idea that 'high profile events' like the Met Gala are deliberately being used to distract people from ongoing genocide that assumes that the event itself is iconic enough to be distracting, and that the distractable people are only North Americans thereby omitting the nuance of the rest of the world's populace in life extracted from the US hegemony.
#A better critique might be that the met gala continues to proceed despite protests nearby#But the problem with that statement is that protests near the met gala have happened for years for numerous other causes#so for whatever reason people are claiming the bombs happened the time they did BECAUSE of the met gala#like no#the world does not revolve around the US#there are legitimate critiques in all of this but claiming the met gala's timing was not a coincidence is sending me#like if it's not israeli war officials it's biden or the governor being like ok what circus can we put on for the people#we must distract them from our political errors#ah yes the met gala the perfect world enrapturing event#this will distract them#just no...#the met gala was gonna happen regardless of political strategising#do not reblog this I'm just blogging
