    So when are you flying to Palestine to help them?

    Do you think Gaza is the only place in the world where innocent civilians are dying in some conflict, it’s not, but you aren’t gonna write free XYZ country in your dating profile bio cause that’s not trendy with white people right now.

    Who’s being more disrespectful, the people who are concerned with the health and democratic saftey of their own country or the ones using some conflict in a far off place as a substitute for personality and to virtue signal on social media as if slogans lime BLM and free Palestine do anything to help these groups of people.

    Focus on your own shit, people will kill and be killed till our species goes extinct. That’s not a reason to ruin your own country by fucking with the voting process leaving an easy path for fascists to take control of the government.

      Are you fucking kidding me? Israel is armed, funded and protected by America, by your elected officials, using your tax money. Don’t think that by saying “oh, but it’s another country,” you can get away from this responsibility. What next? Were the Nicaraguan death squads just another group in South America? It cannot be understated just how morally reprehensible what you just said is. The misery of hundreds of millions of people today was caused by American meddling and you’re completely sweeping that under the rug. Shame on you.

      Who’s being more disrespectful, the people who are concerned with the health and democratic saftey of their own country or the ones using some conflict in a far off place as a substitute for personality and to virtue signal on social media as if slogans lime BLM and free Palestine do anything to help these groups of people.

      Don’t project your own lack of principles on me, but also: absolutely the former. At least have the honesty to confront the fact that you don’t care if your government keeps supporting genocide.

        I hate that this what the US goverment is doing with my taxes and voting for the right candidate even if they won’t immediately solve these problems is the only real way to have any influence on this issue, no amount of tweets and social media posts will affect the US foreign policy, so long as some rich Americans have financial and political interests in funding wars in the middle east and politicians are available to sell out the country for a quick buck.
