  • If you truly hated what was going on in Palestine you wouldn’t be casting a vote for the son of a bitch arming and funding it but like many of the other selfish Americans you will throw Palestinians under the bus for some vague/meager gains for yourselves.

    No discipline. No solidarity. Just me, me, me, & me.

    So go ahead. Protect a "woman’s right to choose"or whatever you have to tell yourself to still be able to look at yourself in the mirror while pregnant women in Palestine have to have C-section’s without any anesthetic at all…Not to mention the grade school aged kids having to get limbs amputated under the same conditions.

    It’s all one side. I know fans of each party like to twist themselves in knots to find daylight between them but outside of the culture war nonsense & which brand of idpol they subscribe to, the distance between them has only gotten smaller with every passing election in my lifetime.

    The supposed solution to trump and the gop (who was labeled a dangerous madman that would get us into ww3) was to elect Biden and the Democrats

    What has happened since?

    • Provoke Russia
    • Provoke China
    • Provoke Iran
    • Arm Nazis in Ukraine
    • Aid “Israel” in their genocide

    All while their own citizens continue to struggle with basics like food & shelter.

    Will republicans be happy to continue all of these? 100%. But let’s not pretend there’s some grand meaningful difference between them unless your most important issues fall within the category of the culture war in which case you must be doing pretty well.



  • Honestly it’s kind of shocking this didn’t happen sooner. Idk how people follow Jesus and then say, “those homeless people sleeping under that bridge are drug addicts and bums. They’re getting exactly what they deserve because they don’t want to work” and the general glorification of “free market” capitalism to the point of arguing not all people are worthy of things like healthcare or food.

    To me it just never seemed compatible with their religion and if you look to South America there’s a strong correlation between socialism/communism and Christianity/Catholicism… Nicaragua is a fine example of this. (See image) “Christianity, socialism, solidarity” is what it says.

  • The absolutely delusional take was the popular opinion that all that needed to be done was to shove as many weapons as possible into Ukraine and with that they would defeat Russia. I even recall talks of “taking Crimea” (which is kind of silly in retrospect given their inability to retake the donbass region).

    Instead of avoiding most of this bloodshed thousands of lives were lost only to end up at basically the same position they would’ve ended up had this just been negotiated early on and that’s me being optimistic & assuming they’ll be offered the same deal as before (which there’s very little incentive for Russia to do given their position, Ukraine’s position, & the west’s appetite to continue funding/arming Ukraine going forward.
