  • The way they have been peeling people off of liberalism recently is just remarkable.

    The problem is that our "Trump will end democracy if we don't vote against him!" #Resistance media is rapidly transforming into a "Trump is actually cool and good, and we're excited to see what he does next" court full of supplicants. The MSNBC Liberals aren't getting a crash course in how Hasbara works, they're getting an earful of propaganda that they'll inevitably believe.

    Liberals are being peeled off, but they're not turning left. They're going to be diverted into "We need to be more fascist if we want to win elections" Bush Era conservatism. The leftists, meanwhile, are going to keep getting the OWS/BLM/anti-Genocide treatment. We're already seeing that with the naked hostility aimed at Sarah McBride. Nevermind the treatment of Cori Bush and Jamal Bowman.



  • Israel is genocidal and the only countries in the region with the capacity to intercede aren't willing to do so.

    At this stage of the conflict, evacuating Palestinians from the area so they can live to fight another day is a higher priority than passing Do Nothing resolutions at the UN to wag your fingers at a genocide. If its disrespectful to evacuate people from a war zone... I just don't know what you're asking for.



  • You've got Israelis on the Egyptian border, cutting off the Rafa crossing. And that's before we get into the current Egyptian government being a puppet of Israel.

    This is a deliberate strategy of exhausting the Palestinian civilian population and exterminating them. If they'd wanted the Palestinians out, they'd have simply forced the issue at the Egyptian border until the civilian population began crossing en mass. But they don't want any Palestinians alive to try and re-enter Gaza in another generation.
