You might want to look further into this one, hoss.
The GOP is manipulating you into hating those aligned with your interests.
I am literally a communist, the GOP couldn’t manipulate me into anything. I hate basically all American politicians because they are all servants of imperialism and enemies of the working class. Have fun cheering for
as they sit and do nothing while people get rounded up into camps (this is literally already happening btw not some hyperbolic future)
Also, “defensive” funding for Israel is still supporting the genocide. Israel’s belief in its own impunity (thanks to things like the iron dome) gives it confidence to commit endless atrocities because they don’t fear proportional consequences.
Also, Israel shouldn’t be defended. Rogue states that commit genocide have no right to exist as far as I’m concerned.
And yet you seem to be unable to comprehend the situation, instead needlessly hating the people that could (and try to) help you.
They don’t have schools in communist glimmer_twin town?
EDIT: You should know that I’m regularly reduced to tears at the atrocities. I’m not your enemy but you’re making it so very hard to be your friend.
I’m really using the word “you” to address all of those with your outlook. It’s not a personal attack.
Would you support someone who supports arming police to carry out a genocide in Portland?
No?
Then why would you support someone who supports arming IDF to carry out a genocide in Gaza?
What is the material difference that causes you to not support one thing, but support the other?
Nationalism. You are a nationalist. You just do not realise it.
You support american supremacism, as long as it comes with the promise that it will improve your life. You support genocide in Gaza if a politician will tell you they'll make your life better while they do it.
You don't support it in Portland because then it would be happening to AMERICANS.
You are a nationalist and you are an American supremacist.
