      I would like for all of us to sit down, just for a short while, together, take a deep breath, and figure out where we’re going.

        Just imagine. We could be an interplanetary species by now. Instead of solving problems, we instead create them for short-term monetary gains.

          Yeah but how would 8 people live like gods while the rest of us fight it out?

            If Trump wins it’s not going to be because of foreign policy. The US economy is probably going to be the top issue by far.

            If Trump beats Biden things won’t improve for Muslims anywhere.

            Anyway… tankie accelerationists are a very small minority of the electorate and probably wouldn’t vote even if Biden did everything they wanted.

              Let’s be clear, if Trump beat Biden, SCotUS will make a path allowing Trump to exile Muslims & strip their citizenship.

              It can & will happen here.

            Lmao you underestimate the religious people in this country. Sure we have Muslims but they are far outnumbered by Christians. Christianity is a bloodthirsty religion. Their whole religion involved taking from others outside of their group. Their rules applied only to others like themselves, it was totally fine to fuck over other people. The other people are people who equate anti Israel to antisemitism and dont want to be accused of such things.

        80% of the country wants us to continue our support of Israel or to do even more

          Anecdotally, I can say this. I live in red country. Everyone I talk to is unconditional about supporting Israel.

          Still though, I think if Trump were to come out tomorrow and condemn Israel and back Palestine, they’d all shit themselves, go home and change their pants, and then still vote for Trump. Seriously,

            Ok. Well I’m an American Jew who’s been to Israel twice, and have been taught my entire life that it’s the promised land, and I say they’re currently war criminals.

              You may have also benefitted from an education that prioritized critical thinking and empathy

              Which is a pretty unrelatable experience for most Americans

              Another American Jew here. I have never been to Israel, I don’t want to go to Israel and I do not support Israel, its apartheid or its genocide.

                  They need all the Jews to return to Israel to rebuild the Great Temple so Jesus will return. But they’re going to have to kill me because there’s no fucking way I’m going to Israel.

          I mean we all know this. It’s a matter of historical fact. It’s like living with a parent who completely gaslit the whole family. Everyone knows it’s all bullshit, but everyone has too keep playing along.
