Right now, the US is supporting attack after attack on schools in Gaza. I'm not cherry picking anything here. This is just the result of searching "school" on an Al Jazeera RSS feed. All of these massacres have happened in the last two months and not a single one has had near enough media coverage as some lunatic shooting up a school in the West. Some of those demonic shells of people that only cry over massacres in the US might say something about "oh but that's Israel, not the US". To those people, I say, fuck you. The US does it too, you testicle brained buckaroo. You don't fucking care about children dying. You support a government that has committed massacres miles worse than any gunman, and one that currently is committing massacres on the daily. They don't care about kids. They don't care about safety. They don't care about education. They only care about keeping white kids safe.

So if you're doing this, shut the fuck up and recognize nothing domestically is even half as important as the genocide going on. Any "harm reduction" you support that involves keeping the genocide going isn't harm reduction. It's sacrificing Palestinians to make your life just a little better. It's sacrificing kids, doctors, mothers, sisters, and brothers. It's sending young men to a painful death from bombs and it's sending old ones to slow organ failure. You're single issue is healthcare in the US? Fuck you. At least you have hospitals that aren't being bombed in the daily. You only care about your own kind. You are the "America first" types you claim to hate.

There is no fate cruel enough for those that support the United States.

    I responded to someone talking about single issue voting, my single issue being Gaza, and got responses such as: “tankie bullshit” and “another person lying that they care about Gaza”

    At this point, I’ve kinda thrown it all to the wind. You say Trump will tear this country apart? Well good. If the fucking choices I get are:

    A) comfort at home, discomfort abroad

    B) discomfort at home, discomfort abroad

    I’m fucking choosing B. Americans don’t deserve comfort. They don’t deserve to live their lives without fear while our fucking government terrorizes people across the world.

    And I know ‘discomfort’ is a villainous description of what’s going on in Gaza, it just works well in the wordplay.

    Also, wanted to say that my ex girlfriend’s dad went to one of those indigenous schools you mentioned. Horrible things happened to that man there. They were also given a surname by a white man, after he’d found out theirs had been long lost. Terrible, terrible stuff. Luckily in my time with her I actually got to spend time on the reservations. They are incredible and depressing at the same time.

        Look, I’m just hoping I don’t have to make a hard choice. But it’s becoming more and more evident I’ll have to. Let me have my stupid rant lmaoooo

          Vote or write-in PSL, since according to the Democrats, it’s the same as voting for Trump.
