luv 2 sneer at minorities being genocided when those minorities wouldn’t vote for someone killing their family. Seems like a cool thing for an Ally and Progressive to do.
How in the world does the original statement not count as disingenuous word games to avoid saying “we support blue genocide”?
I sure wonder why they didn’t vote for the anti-genocide candidate during the highly-contested primary.
It self-consciously is the reason: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FYLNCcLfIkM
Israel only has lobbying groups that are allowed to operate in American politics because the US was already dedicated to zionism. Otherwise there’d be, like, a Chinese AIPAC lobbying for the PRC or something.
States aren’t people, dog
I think Bibi was technically born in Israel and spent his early childhood there but lived in Philidelphia during the period that he went to high school.
Israel serves a geopolitical purpose destabilizing the Middle East and suppressing development of rival countries (e.g. assassinating that nuclear physicist in Iran).

“Both sides are just as bad!” is the bullshit
It’s not that they are identical, it’s that delineating between the Hitlerites and the Strasserites just isn’t very meaningful compared to the understanding that they are wings of the same monstrous entity that needs to be destroyed. You don’t even need to Obamas embracing Bush and saying “same values” to see that, but seeing that makes denial inexcusable.
The first-past-the-post voting system sucks; the resulting two-party system sucks; but
The hand-wringing isn’t the worst part, but it’s definitely the most annoying. “Don’t worry, I’m disavowing Harris while I vote for her in my non-swing-state, so it doesn’t count even as she uses those votes to claim legitimacy just like Biden did”.
It’s an understandable mistake regardless, but just for your reference, the “What is your story?” at the end informally indicates it only wants affirmative answers because that’s how you’d have a “story” to tell in this regard. There are often hints like that in a question like this.

It’s been the official policy of the DPRK for most of its existence that the US was its primary enemy. That recently changed to South Korea, but the US is still enemy #2 (I disagree with the new characterization, but that’s neither here nor there). The whole reason the DPRK is so aggressive about its own ICBM program is to deter the US. It can attack Seoul just fine with artillery (which is part of why it has maintained such an extent of artillery manufacturing that it’s exporting to Russia).
Humanity is a harmful social construct
I’m curious why you say so. Surely you can see, from a layman’s point of view, how it would seem to be one of the most helpful social constructs, right? So what’s the hidden evil behind it?
Counterpoint: “Fact checkers” with an institutional bias are an excellent way to cover for lies promoted by those institutions
I rarely see it, but MBFC is an atrocious website that defines bias by distance from the center. It’s just nonsense.
Israel’s actions now are, like the American military’s actions in Iraq and Afghanistan, both propped up by American imperialist interests and the MIC. The people opposed to Israel’s campaign of genocide are more analogous to the (admittedly totally ineffectual) anti-war crowd from back then.
Yeah, me too. I think it was just a lack of reinforcement of those earlier plot points because most of them are literally never mentioned after chapter 1.
But this is the very beginning, not the middle
There are certainly criticisms to be made of it, but characterizing them as “the bad guys” in a conflict with Israel because they do [thing Israel has been known for for decades] is either sarcasm or rank stupidity
