    I don't know about this guy, but its seems like a lot of these older liberals have no idea what's going on in Gaza. Its willful ignorance, because you can just pick up tiktok and you'll see everything, but a lot of the talking points surrounding the election have not changed much outside of the spheres where there's actual coverage of the genocide. honestly it was jarring, i had myself a little thread yesterday and it felt like i'd gone back in time to September.

      I think you're being rather kind. There's certainly probably some people who have zero idea. But THIS guy who is terminally forever online (he's a 2016 era Trump reply guy liberal) knows exactly what's happening. All these war mongers that thirsted for Iraqi blood like David Frum and Matt Y (however you spell his dumb last name) and are now doing the same for Gaza and have done the same for every war since Afghanistan and Iraq and further back depending on age... they know, they like it, maybe, at best, they really believe in neoliberal ideology and think this shit makes their lives better, but I doubt it. I think they're just disgusting hollow shells with no ideology, no core morals or beliefs, they just exist to point out what they think are hypocrisies or whatever will get them the most clicks and views.

      They're shills for capitalism, liberalism, and death, ultimately. They sell western populations the idea that death abroad is fine. And here are five reasons why we must bomb Gaza, Yemen, whatever.

      All of the pro-Iraq War salesman like Frum, Ygelias (again, dumb name) should've been tried and hanged as war propagandists (legally, of course, calm down libs. At the Hague!) 20 years ago. There's obviously a long list BEFORE them, but they should've been on that list. At least stiff sentences. Instead they all have microblogs, nice LA or NYC apartments and homes, and will never face a day of justice in this lifetime (probably, although, who knows). And the list of people who should've been tried before them includes (they're dead already so caaaaaaalm down NSA) Rummy, Powell, and other names I'm not gonna type alongside the phrase "legally executed." Coworkers of theirs though, one could say.
