@EdwinlimLim@MomodouTaal The thing about US democracy is that everybody loves to claim it as if there were no other reality but the reality is there is no democracy. Events don't follow the will of the people. The desires of the majority of the people have little to do with the actual outcome.
@ginter_allen@MomodouTaal That doesn't mean the US should be the one doing it. It also trivializes the dismal and horrible history of the US doing it all around the world for as long as I've been on it.
@LindseyGrahamSC Warmongers are clueless. They make the world more dangerous while claiming it's for safety. War doesn't bring peace and democracy. Besides that, it's not the US's responsibility nor right to interfere with sovereign states.
@narrative_hole It's not about him being white, or Jewish, or male, or having a big belly, it's about him supporting genocide. There is no more reprehensible quality than supporting killing people while enjoying privilege.
"Israel routinely massacres civilians who are waiting for food, attacks hospitals, picks off civilians with drones and snipers, and is deliberately starving the frailest and most defenseless people in Gaza to death, but the western political-media class keep calling this a βwarβ"
@nick052873 @ShaykhSulaiman Yes, but it's equally both. They very much want the land and resources to be all their own, and they've made statements to that effect. They also have a deep hatred of Palestinians and unabashedly want them completely gone from Israel, preferably off the earth.
@amwogakhalwale @ShaykhSulaiman I remember growing up as a child in the 60s (only 15 years from the Nazi Holocaust, so it was on the collective public's mind a lot more than now), and I wondered mind boggled how that could happen and how people could be part of it. Now I see it right in person.
"If we had anything remotely like an objective news media in the western world, reports that Israel tortured United Nations staff to get them to make false statements against a UN aid agency would be the top story everywhere for days." ~Caitlin Johnstone
Trump has been specific about his anti-immigrant, anti-trans, anti-abortion, anti-democracy authoritarian agenda. I believe less than 1/3 of people agree with that agenda, 1/3 of people actively oppose it and 1/3 don't know or care. The need of today is to wake up.
Crocodile tears won't wash the blood off your hands, #FrauGenocide.
Member States are defying EU law to send lethal weapons into a genocide.
Germany INCREASED arms exports to Israel TENFOLD last year. 185 of 218 licenses granted AFTER Oct 7.

US liberals in 2016: Wanting universal healthcare is a pie in the sky fantasy
US liberals in 2020: Wanting full student loan debt forgiveness is a pie in the sky fantasy
US liberals in 2024: Wanting your country not to commit genocide is a pie in the sky fantasy

@caitoz It's mind boggling that humans can delude themselves so much. Completely devoid of processing the reality of bombing and killing. Absolutely mind boggling.
