      I would like for all of us to sit down, just for a short while, together, take a deep breath, and figure out where we’re going.

        Just imagine. We could be an interplanetary species by now. Instead of solving problems, we instead create them for short-term monetary gains.

      Unfortunately 80% of the country wants us to continue our support of Israel or to do even more. I agree with you, but we are the minority.

          I misquoted the poll I was thinking of. It’s about 40% who say the US involvement is enough or that we should do more. 20% say we should be doing less. My point that we are the minority still stands.

            If Trump wins it’s not going to be because of foreign policy. The US economy is probably going to be the top issue by far.

            If Trump beats Biden things won’t improve for Muslims anywhere.

            Anyway… tankie accelerationists are a very small minority of the electorate and probably wouldn’t vote even if Biden did everything they wanted.

              Let’s be clear, if Trump beat Biden, SCotUS will make a path allowing Trump to exile Muslims & strip their citizenship.

              It can & will happen here.

            Lmao you underestimate the religious people in this country. Sure we have Muslims but they are far outnumbered by Christians. Christianity is a bloodthirsty religion. Their whole religion involved taking from others outside of their group. Their rules applied only to others like themselves, it was totally fine to fuck over other people. The other people are people who equate anti Israel to antisemitism and dont want to be accused of such things.

          I mean we all know this. It’s a matter of historical fact. It’s like living with a parent who completely gaslit the whole family. Everyone knows it’s all bullshit, but everyone has too keep playing along.
