The US doesn’t need its own troops there if the IDF acts on their behalf and they get to claim deniability. There’s only a thin veil of secrecy, you can see through it in the ridiculous ways they’ve been allowed (and supported) in infiltrating US politics. Hell you can’t even be a school teacher in Texas without pledging support to Israel.
More than that, Isreal is basically a forward opperating base of the US in the middle east. They’re just the US with Groucho Marx glasses on, our sock puppet for genocide and imperialism.
Exactly. Remember this when people claim we can turn the Democratic party with progessive candidates. The progressive candidates are the ones always turned by the Dems, not the other way around. It’s their MO.
They are humans like anyone else and they should never be placed on a pedestal or treated like they’re above criticism for being on your team.
Then stop doing that. You have to hold them on a pedestal to even consider them on your team, since their actions speak much louder than words
The both sides are the same argument denies the reality that voting in your best interest and gaining incremental progress for society is a better alternative than sitting by while the world burns around you.
You fundamentally misunderstand. What you are arguing for is sitting around while the world burns, while feeling like you did your part for merely voting. What I’m saying is that voting is not enough, especially when the people you have to vote for don’t actually want to make things better, and even under their control shit gets incrementally worse, not better. So sitting around and just handing your vote to the people who aren’t helping, especially when they know they’ll get your vote just for being slightly better than the other guy, is actually doing less than nothing. Politicians have to earn your vote, thats the foubdation of democracy. When politicians don’t have to earn your vote because you’ll vote for them by default, they’re not actually concerned with doing anything for the voters. That’s not Democracy.
Saving your support for an infallible leader who checks all your boxes, gains power and rescues society while somehow appeasing the majority and yet never compromising or screwing up something important, is a fantasy at best.
Thats a huge straw man. Just because all options are currently fucked and not worth standing with doesn’t mean you need an infalliable one to be acceptable. Just that the current ones are far below acceptable. “I don’t want to eat either entrees you brought me, because they’re both piles of dog shit, even if one is filled with razor blades.” “Nothing’s good enough for you man unless its a perfect 5 star 5 course meal and you’re gonna starve unless you eat the dog shit”. You see how absurd that thought process is? It comes from fear.
Not to mention that ELECTIONS AND POLITICIANS WILL NOT SAVE US. It’s not about voting in just the right way, we have to go out and demand, its the only way rights have EVER been won. Voting is just scratching the surface of political activisim, but its treated like the be all end all and people use it as an excuse to not do the real work.
government is composed of people. People are flawed. If you’re looking to flawed people to create your ideal society rather than strategizing how to do the best you can with what you have in front of you/working towards an improved future, you’re going to be spinning your wheels for all eternity waiting to be rescued.
This one is what you’re advocating for though, just voting for not only flawed people, but people working activley against you, all while sitting back like you did your part for checking a box on a ballot.
Out of curiosity though, what is your ideal government/who is your ideal leader, worthy of your support? Who can you point to as an example of “that person/government that got it all right, and if we could just have a government or politicians more like them, everything would work itself out.”
Edit: Surely somebody must come to mind? Bc if not this whole post kinda seems like a lot of bullshit
Yes your post does kinda seems like a lot of bullshit, but I’m still happy to take time to explain. There isn’t an example yet, we need to demand better, that’s my whole point. Merely voting in politicians and trusting them to fix everything isn’t going to work, there’s no winning that way. I dunno what goalpost shift you are attempting, but just beacuse I’m accuratley pointing out that our current system and represntation is far from actually working for the people doesn’t mean I have to have a fully flushed out and perfect example of an alternate for my critisms to be valid. That’s ironically what you were trying to accuse me of about “saving support for an infalliable leader”, but is actually your projection.
History has shown Dems to be playing the role of wolf in sheeps clothings for over a century lmao, what are you talking about? Even the “New Deal” of FDR was actually used to placate the actual demands of the labor movement, after he promised to help if they campaigned for him, and then turned around and outlawed their strikes and busted them when he got in office. From Obama promising to close GitMo but actually accelerating it and the use of drone strikes, Biden letting Roe V Wade be overturned despite Dems for decades running on codifying it, hell even Bill Clinton is resposible for the implementation of private prisons to basically make slavery legal again.
Dems are not your friends. Sure MAGA is the BBEG, but Dems are all the henchmen with different colored shirts you need to fight on the way. They enable and support the BBEG. Sure one is worse, but the other one is still trying to fuck you over too, they’re not your ally. And to realize that none of the parties are here for you is a scary thought, and many people want to desperatley push it away for the safe and comfortable thought that you have a champion to fight for you and you’re not alone. Well you’re not alone, but its not the Dems by your side, it’s the other workers. And unfortunatley that means you’ll have to get your hands dirty directly, but turning away from the truth won’t make it easier.
Nah they just rolled out the carpet and set up the barricades to allow it
I think I’d be changing the punch part, and not the Nazi part
30 is as great a time to start as any
Nah fuck mosquitos, specifically the genus that sucks blood, which is a subsect. They don’t even add to an ecosystem and its been widely theorized they could be wiped out without environmental harm, but only benefit.
Death to biting mosquitos.
Best thing an I.C.E. agent can do is kill themselves. Because then they would have killed a Nazi.
Reply with “So what is the point of you?”
Especially if they tried to blame objectors
Not really seing how those are different forms of imagination. And also, still imagining the color, just ignoring the limitations or letting them fill themselves in.
I can picture a solid color that sparkles evenly, or even that has just one shimmer evenly across the whole surface, however the initial premise was just the limits of imagination, and you don’t need to self-impose a bunch of parameters onto it like you’re engineering something in real life. You don’t need to imagine it 100% accurate to the point where you could reconstruct it, even partially imagining something is still imagining it, and you can even expand on it over time.
Also a cool thing about imaginination, is you don’t have to stick to or define all the parameters to imagine it. You can go like, I’m imagining in this imaginary senario I’ve figured that part out, and just run with it.
Epic Its like a purple, blue, pink, but more vibrant with sparkles. Similar to what is used for epic level items in games, hence the name.
Do you really think that an election would have prevented this man? This has been a concerted effort by a hostile enemy who has infiltrated the deepest levels of every American government branch, working towards this point for over 4 decades. The cops have been taken over by nazi gangs, and the FBI has known since the 90s. The heritage foundation has been funding and grooming judges with this express purpose, and laws and regulations have been being erroded this whole time in preparation. Just voting for the right guy would not have stopped any of this, esspetially when no party has been resisting any of this, with politicians at best calling for “unity”. I know how tempting the thought is to blame other workers, it’s what we’ve been taught to do and avoiding the real enemy makes us think we can avoid the horrific truth that there is no one coming to save us, and those we thought were there to protect us were stabbing us in the back the whole time. Not to mention their firepower. But you can’t fall prey to that thought. Use this as a time to realize there is no war but class war.
That is social media. Try downloading a news app instead. I’m considering the same
