It’s easy to understand if you realize that America is essentially a corporation rather than a country, and that country is only representing its shareholders.
In case you’re confused - if you’re not rich and powerful, you’re not a shareholder. You’re an employee or a commodity or an expense, and you exist to enrich the shareholder class.
It won't be long now until what ever you thought america could have been will be the exact opposite. Watching the missiles rain down on Isreal today is a reminder that people want that for us here in the states. So next time you get upset about Trump doing some strange authoritarian thing remember, that's just the tip of the iceberg. Russia, China, Saudia Arabia etc. won't stop attacking the foundation of our democracy and the Republicans will continue to let them. Republicans want to rule the ashes.
A war in the states is a win for authoritarianism. Destabilizing this country, is empowering others.
So like. To be clear. It's not the ongoing genocide conducted by Israel you're worried about, but the single bombardment they've received? Like, I don't like people dying to begin with, but. Come on.
Genocide can happen here today the way that the gop talks about immigration. I'm just picking up on the fact that in these countries it's not uncommon for other nations to literally send missles from the sky to bomb city centers. That is every day life. They wake up and still go to work. They live their lives around this. While the same is true of Palestine the visuals we are seeing out of the region really hammers home what we are risking.
