They're already attacking Rafah. Biden has already lost the election from anybody with any semblance of a conscience.

Over FIVE millions dollars for 100k bodies on the ground seems like it was good enough for genojoe

"Erm akshually you have to vote for genocide"

How about you vote for your favorite brick in this here wall, Good German. how-compelling

Reader, I address you because this person is a lost cause. If your government and media apparatus tries to compel you to go along with a genocide, and explicitly or implicitly tells you you have no choice, you have a moral and practical duty as a member of the human race to tear it down and impede it at every turn. We all ultimately have to live with ourselves, never let someone chide you into carving up your soul.

Besides, what you let them do over there today will be done to you over here tomorrow.

Already got ours passports and flights booked.

We'll vote w/ somebody that agrees w/ our beliefs about what is "right" and hope the libs have a change of heart eventually...

Absolutely 0 faith in that happening though, so gunna wait out the fallout from outside of this clusterfuck ;)

Not a binary system mate.

Get with the program or revisit 2016, your choice.

Quite objectively is, change the system. Can't do that under fascism 乁⁠[⁠ ⁠◕⁠ ⁠ᴥ⁠ ⁠◕⁠ ⁠]⁠ㄏ

Fascism has been here since the beginning, since before we called it fascism, it was just applied unevenly along class and racial lines. Our fascist party and our "democratic" party will always stop their kayfabe bickering and fall into lockstep when it comes to supporting imperialism and genocide abroad, and crushing the working class here at home. The pool of donors that "both" parties share are all following the same profit motives.

My sibling in christ, your "non-fascists" are doing a genocide right now.
