- Опубліковано 21 сер 2024
- We're back for another round of group therapy talking about the latest developments in the Gaza genocide with a small group of Tankies therapees: Sina, Rob and Mikey.
(Note: Sadly, our comrade Joe Emersburger was on the call but his file didn't upload so we sometimes reference his contribution. Please send your complaints to Podcastle.ai for their shitty, unstable platform. Apologies for my chaotic appearance and messy background!)
Here is the Simpsons clip I forget to include

Tankie therapy means a lot to me
Once again I will say that I'm so glad I found you guys! And the extended team of course. I have watched all of these. The sad fact is that I don't have friends like you in real life. I just spent some time with some older liberal ladies and boy, it is stunning the indifference to this genocide. When Gaza came up in conversation, one lady quickly changed the subject to Ukraine and then Trump. I know it's because their brains are poisoned by watching Maddow, and being completely alienated and miseducated about the world. But it's so stunning and disappointing to be surrounded by people like that. It gives me some comfort that you all meet and talk from a perspective that makes me feel...not alone.
Sincere tanks to you all 🙏🏼
Thank you too you wonderful humans. ❤
no, thank YOU for being a friend 😭 😭 😭 😭 😭 😭
thank you for sharing tankie group therapy in our tankie group therapy group o7
When dealing with fascists, one always has to ask, what is their desired psychological effect on the masses with their sadistic, fascist acts of depravity?
What trigger and or reaction do they want to invoke?
I contend, that he desired psychological effect for this most depraved, horrific war crime in Nuseirat, was to invoke equivocation with WWII allied operations, specifically to coincide and take advantage of this years D-Day commemoration of the battle of Normandy. These emotionally and spiritually under developed, depraved life forms are not only working with psychologists on their political operations, their propaganda regime but also for their military operations, in order to attempt to psychologically manipulate the masses to view these fascist atrocities as righteous.
You are dearly appreciated tanky group therapy friends! 💚
Damn. You summed it up. They're normalizing every atrocity you can (or can't) imagine, so they can go about their task of being the next franchise of mass death. I just like to hope that the ME/SA region finally kicks off to bring this back to them. I don't wish this hell on anyone but fascists have shown time and again that they cant imagine what isn't being done to them.
Thank you so so much for sharing all these mega important contexts; you are right: we are with the Palestinians, and we can´t afford the luxury of despear if we are not there (though is so painful to witness). 🔥✊🏽Long live the Resistance! Long live Palestine!! 💖🙌🏽🍉🌟🚀🔻💪🏽 Stay strong and take good care of yourselves 💖💪🏽✨
we need a tankie therapy about people in the west who are just tuning out. this is driving me nuts.
Me too.
I had to hash this exact thing out in therapy a few weeks ago. She assured me I'm not crazy. The world is crazy and our response is the sane one.
@@KNosk826 yeah, I know it's that most people are just not aware or have a twisted view of what's happening, but I can't help but be soooo angry. The media, shows like Maddow's, play a huge role in this - they get people focusing on all the wrong things and create a distorted view of the world. But of course there is also genuine racism and dehumanization, even from people I thought better of. Like, none of them would believe the lies such as the "command center in a hospital", etc, if they were applied to their own communities, or...for example, Ukrainians...
@@KNosk826 i know that the main way to counter the feeling is to participate in action, but, i really feel that the people going at it for 8 months straight are burnt out, and I want more people to join us.
@@artillujas exactly. I'm showing up where, when and how I can. It's 50/50 for me whether being at actions helps or makes my feelings more raw. This all sucks. It's inspiring to see young people leading. And I have no words for my admiration of Palestinian strength and spirit. We will win ♥️✊
Thank you to all of you.
I'm one of the quiet people you all have been helping too through all of this..
I have a thousand other things to say but it's all just too much so I will keep it at thank you this time... 🙏✌💔❤☯️🌱...
Love you beautiful Tankie friends. Your discussions help to calm my agitated heart. Love from Sydney 🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸❤️🖤🤍💚
Love you all! Thank you! 🇵🇸💕🙏🏻
I've been spontaneously getting that song in my head for years and I always have to sing it out loud when it happens, because you're right, it is a great song. 🎶 Tank you for being my (parasocial, but nonetheless important) frieeeeeends 🎶.
"Picture it: Sicily, 1912..." "Back in St. Olaf..."
I love The Golden Girls!
You have excellent taste!
on EI live stream i said i need Tankie Group Therapy #16, it means i somehow missed 16 and 17
Not all of them are posted to this channel!
Hi.. I was wondering this... I've seen all the ones here and sit reps just by lucky chance.. freaky magical algorithm.... etc.... but are there others somewhere else that I may be missing or just these two places... ?
Either way I'm content because theres so much good in every discussion and it is so fucking helpful to my / all of our most basic sanity right now.... 🙏
This unrelenting spirit reminds me of Egyptians after 1967, despite all the destruction and masacres, everyone was chanting "We'll go to war again" and this is what happened in 1973
You’re a pal and a confidant
The ghost of Joe haunted this episode. ❤
thanks guys. golden girls has a gospel remix thats my favorite thing online. wondering what the Palestinians (and Vietnamese) did differently from Black people so that their struggle maintained continuity theough their assassinations while ours hasn't (or at least, not as well)
I just watched a video of a baby that looks and even cries like mine (they all do because I'm not a freaking monster) in Gaza. The baby was lying next to his/her mother and the doctors were informing her that the child needed her right arm amputated, while the other arm was wrapped in what looked like dirty, used bandages. So much evil crushing that little soul before even a year of life. The mother cried these helpless broken tears and I realized that I can never even imagine that pain regardless of how much pain I felt as a witness.
Thank you always, every week, for tankie group therapy! If you threw a party, and invited everyone you knew... the biggest gift would be from me! Tank u 4 being a friend!
These tanky therapy sessions keeps me sane - thank you.
There's a excellent discussion between Ali Abunimah and Nora Barrows-Friedman of EI and Shir Hever - a political economist - who describes the economic collapse of Israel as a direct result of their genocidal depravity on the Palestinians.
The price of basic goods is out of control and there is little or no productive work to feed the demands of war like paying hotel accomodation for all the displaced settlers.
Columbia has stopped supplying Israel with coal to feed their ancient electrical generation system.
There is a slogan used by those protesting against Netanyahu :
"From start up nation to shutdown nation"
Israel is imploding and Shir Hever says that genocide is typical of hegemonic nations which then collapse.

Thanks guys
Sina, if you threw a party and invited everyone you knew. You would see the biggest would be from me and the card attached would say, “thank you for being a friend.”
The colonizers/imperialists' deepest fear: receiving the treatment they dished out.
I have to watch Tankie Therapy before I watch the horrific doomsday ei (no offence ei but I know this one this week is going to be a mental f*c k)
My mom, who was 40 years older then me, loved the Golden Girls. Sadly, for me, I felt it was for a targeted audience. (which was blue hair tinted matrons in their 60's) I am guessing Sina lived under the same roof of one of these matrons. But ofc I guess.
Is it a coincidence that Sinwar's name is similar to sin of war?
Eugenics is essential to Imperialism and Zionism. Racism, intrinsic to all of them.
I watched Golden Girls with my grandfather. we all loved it! Yes, it is a coincidence!
@@theeastisapodcast I say it is not a coincidence. The moral high ground has always been with Palestinians/Hamas. Their decision to start the war was done with strictly a moral compass. Done with extreme reticence. The name Sinwar screams hatred of war.
@@pdurpan I think his family name comes from the Arabic word for "Feline" which is (سِنُّور) "Sinnoor"
His first name "Yahia" = John, spelled as the name was mentioned in Quran
@@NaderNabilart I stand corrected. However, deep in my heart, I truly believe there are secret societies activily engaging in perception management shenanigans. This coincidence is way too bizarre to ignore. Call me a silly twit if you will. But don't call me late for dinner.
@@NaderNabilart It really is an exquistely profound mind fu*k.
Love The East is a Podcast. I primarily listen to the podcast but it's nice to see the faces of the speakers on the Tube of You channel. Keep up the great work, my friends!
Thank you also for being my friends! So glad I've stumbled across this extended universe. Been watching this for a few months. It's great! ...that being said: I've been too embarrassed to ask but what does the "tankie" bit refer to? Thanks pals! 🫣🥰
I also am late to the party and wondering what "tankie" means. Does it mean comfort, or reassurance, by any chance?--because that's what I feel after watching.
Many thanks for your efforts!
@@BKayNeal comforting for sure! I'm guessing tankie is a cheeky reference to militant activism. So this is like group therapy for the hardcore trench fighters...🤷
I think it's something about the division of people's opinions about things in syria.... and what is explained here just above this comment....
Hopefully someone can explain it better....
