They shrugged it off when churches were damaged in Gaza, why would this be any different?

There’s this city in the West Bank called Bethlehem, I guess some famous dude was born there. The churches in Bethlehem weren’t able to have Christmas celebrations for two years due to Israel’s genocide.

How did evangelicals respond? Polling says 65% support Israel’s military action in Gaza, even after two years of indiscriminate bombing, death marches, forced starvation, and torture camps.

Did you like it when he bombed hospitals?

Did you like it when he promised to pull out, but instead surged troops?

Did you like it when he supported the rise of ISIS in Syria?

Did you like it when he betrayed the Kurds?

Did you like it when he abandoned Egypt’s Mubarek, leading to the rise of the Muslim Brotherhood?

Did you like it when he expanded drone warfare, killing hundreds of innocent people?

Yeah he’s better than trump/Republicans, but his failed policies have normalized the Bush-era crimes and have enabled the Trump-era crimes.

Whitewashing Obama’s disgusting, bloodstained legacy only serves to further degrade our national morality and enable the worst excesses of American fascism.

Both sides onviously aren’t the same, one is more evil than the other. But they are both evil.

Obama has the blood of tens of thousands of innocent civilians on his hands, shame on anyone helping him wash.

We did that already, we voted for the people who suck less.

They are letting the GOP run wild.

PLEASE do not nominate another candidate with a vagina

It’s so frustrating when well-meaning people have this blatantly sexist take.

The problem with Hillary and Kamala was not their vaginas, it was their policies.

If you actually believe that the US is too sexist to elect a woman, then you need to explain the election of Claudia Sheinbaum in Mexico. By every statistic (rape, domestic violence, etc), Mexico is a more sexist nation than the US, yet they overwhelmingly elected a woman.

True, but your comment seems to ignore the fact that leftism is the only resistance to fascism. Liberalism and civility politics have historically paved the way for fascism, and the same pattern is proving true in the modern era.

We need leftist solidarity to defeat the evils of liberalism and fascism.

By 1970, it was fully criminalized nationally esp. because of the whole drug culture of the late 60’s and the Vietnam anti-war protest movement.

“You want to know what this was really all about?

The Nixon campaign in 1968, and the Nixon White House after that, had two enemies: the antiwar left and Black people. You understand what I’m saying? We knew we couldn’t make it illegal to be either against the war or Black, but by getting the public to associate the hippies with marijuana and Blacks with heroin, and then criminalizing both heavily, we could disrupt those communities. We could arrest their leaders, raid their homes, break up their meetings, and vilify them night after night on the evening news. Did we know we were lying about the drugs? Of course we did.”

-John Ehrlichman, President Richard Nixon’s domestic policy chief

This is an open problem for advocates of the Dark Enlightenment theory (Wikipedia) like Peter Thiel and Curtis Yarvin.

One of the most commonly discussed solutions is to surgically implant explosive devices into the bodies of your lead security force.

Yes.

Scramble jets, have air traffic control instruct them to land, and if they do not follow instructions then shoot to kill.

This is literally how all restricted airspace works.

“Tankie” does not come from Tiananmen Square, that is a common misconception. The term “tankie” is 33 years older than the Tiananmen Square massacre.

It originated to describe people who supported the 1956 Soviet Union military intervention in Hungary. Stalin sent in a bunch of T-35 tanks to crush the Hungarian Revolution. He was successful, and thousands of people died in the process.

Ever since then, “tankie” has been used as a derogatory term against Stalinists, Marxist-Leninists, communists, and leftists in general.

As an American I think it’s helpful to put this into some sort of perspective.

Things the US won’t forget:

• Tiananmen Square (thousands dead)

Things the US will forget:

• Korean War (3mil civilian dead)

• Vietnam War (2mil civilian dead)

• Iraqi War (1mil civilian dead)

• Violent overthrow of East Timor (widely considered a genocide)

• Violent overthrow of Afghanistan (twice, over 1 mil dead)

• Violent overthrow of Nicaragua

• Violent overthrow of Grenada

• Violent overthrow of Panama

• Violent overthrow of Libya

• Coup d’etat of Guatemala

• Coup d’etat of Iran

• Failed Coup d’etat of Syria

• Failed Coup d’etat of Indonesia

• Many failed Coup d’etat attempts on Cuba

• Coup d’etat of Congo

• Coup d’etat of Laos

• Coup d’etat of the Dominican Republic

• Coup d’etat of Iraq

• Coup d’etat of Brazil

• Successful Coup d’etat of Indonesia (1 mil dead)

• Coup d’etat of Chile

• Multiple Coup d’etat of Bolivia

• Coup d’etat of Haiti

• Multiple Coup d’etat attempts on Venezuela

• Coup d’etat of Palestine

• Mass civilian casualties, destabilization of many governments, people subject to a lifetime of torture without a trial, all under the War on Terror

This list could be so much longer, but I gotta get to work.
