Sorry, let me rephrase: it’s a manufactured reality. I’m not denying that it’s one that’s been sold as “the real” one, but at the end of the day it’s all manufactured and presents a false dichotomy which is only “real” because the people have been told that it is such and have accepted it. We can conceive of better and more rational systems. And I would argue it’s on us to do so and to push back against these false dichotomies

Of course not.

Edit: What I’m saying is it’s a false dichotomy driven by our shitty political system that’s more focused on political points than actual leadership and governance.

If you’re at the point where you’re ok with your tax dollars going toward funding and sanctioning indiscriminate genocide in Palestine in order to get around a political issue where the opposite side’s pitch is to let the Russian war and genocide against Ukraine get out of hand if you don’t bless the other genocide…then wtf are we doing? Just trading genocides to score fucking political points. Is that “compromise”? Absolutely fuck that shit. It’s possible to completely stop all funding to Israel until they stop and redirect those resources and funding to Ukraine where they’re actually fighting for their land and country. Our political fulcrum has been fucked in this country.

You didn’t let me finish… would you suck THESE balls?

For starters, stop treating these people as serious people, regardless of position or economic/political standing. This clowns and his kind should have their mics automatically cut off and all interviews immediately ended the moment they start bringing this shit up with any level of seriousness. We have to stop treating them as sane people with valuable opinions worthy of attention the moment they start spouting fucking reality denying nonsense like the mental patients they are.

I pull uuuuuup

The conflict itself is really not that complex. It’s yet another example of runaway apartheid. The complexity comes from the global power and military positioning considerations for the US and its western alies. But that’s not really related to the conflict itself, but rather to the bloodthirsty maw of imperialism

They can’t even work with their own damn party. They stand for nothing
