no millennial trope has broken more brains than "you don't owe anybody anything". an ignoble, selfish narcissism dressed up in therapy-speak about boundaries and self-care in order to give yourself a pass from treating other people with a basic level of care and respect
Something kinda funny about getting access to seemingly unguarded military equipment and instead of sabotaging it, choosing to spray paint what amounts to “fuck this” on the doors and making it into an edit for social media
ICE was a dying agency until *you* increased their funding and hiring numbers. This is in addition to your numerous war crimes all over the world.
Shut the fuck up.
Kamala Harris voters are some of the most braindead people in history. Your political identity consists of being fans of politicians instead of holding them accountable for their horrific policies. You lack morals, values, and principles because you’re too busy worshipping power.
Anyone doing this while citizens are getting shot in the streets, & only a few days after this stupid fuck party voted to increase ICE funding, is total dead weight & will never be useful in what must be done to fix this. They don’t care about human lives it’s all a game to them
this is not even an argument. i grew up privileged, never hid that. you are a multi millionaire business owner who sits in a rotting house larping as a working man as you justify hurting the most vulnerable laborers in the country to a majority audience of euro maga supporters.
Absolutely irredeemable. 10/7 cleaved the world in two - those standing with Palestine, and those standing against. Contrary to their self-conception, liberals who hemmed and hawed the day after were counted among the latter. And the same is true now.
Let me tell you a story, Hanan.
I’m Vietnamese.
In 1954, the Western powers, fresh from centuries of colonial conquest, decided Vietnam should be cut in half.
Not because the Vietnamese asked for it.
Not because it was just.
But because it served imperial interests.
The North would go to us, the ones who had bled to defeat the French.
The South would be handed to a U.S.-backed regime we never chose.
They called it a "compromise."
They called it a "solution."
They said we should accept it, and there’ll be peace.
That half a country is better than none.
That resistance would only bring needless suffering.
But we refused.
Because Vietnam is not a bargaining chip.
We are not a parcel to be divided by strangers and called free.
And when we resisted, they called us unreasonable.
They called us terrorists.
They said we were the problem.
Sound familiar?
What you just said about Palestinians—that they should have accepted UN Resolution 181 and been grateful for half a homeland—is exactly what they told us.
And we proved them wrong.
We fought not because we hated peace.
We fought because real peace cannot come from foreign dictates, settler violence, and forced partitions.
We fought because no people should be told to accept half their dignity so someone else can sleep at night.
We fought because Vietnam is one.
Not north, not south, but whole.
And we won.
Now you expect Palestinians to do what we never would.
To accept their homeland divided.
Their history rewritten.
Their future stolen.
To say yes to a plan they never agreed to.
Written by people who did not live there.
Giving away land that was never theirs to offer.
You call that a missed opportunity.
We call it resistance to dismemberment.
Palestinians said no because they knew what we knew:
To accept a settler’s map is to erase your own.
So don’t talk to me about Resolution 181.
Talk to me about the villages wiped off the map.
Talk to me about the mass graves and refugee camps that followed.
Talk to me about the families still holding the keys to homes they are forbidden to return to.
Vietnam refused partition. And today we are whole.
Palestine did the same. And for that, they are still being punished.
But they were right to refuse.
Just like we were.
Just like the Algerians were.
Just like the South Africans were.
And one day, like us, they will reclaim everything that was stolen.
Because memory is stronger than force.
And the land never forgets who it belongs to.
