No, because I actually understand how capitalism works and know that screaming at the most marginalized people to "VOTE BLUE NO MATTER WHO" won't change anything even in the face of genocide.
Yes I do, now cry about how your moral universe will smite me while Kamala bombs kids.
Its just fucking wild watching the pro-gun lot declare Kamala and Joe Biden to be committing genocide when you know for a fact that they'd have a meltdown if you applied the exact same logic to Walmart or the owner of the gun the child shot the school up with.
Don't get me wrong, America needs to stop selling Israel weapons, other than Iron dome related and very limited defence stuff. Thats the road map to peace in the middle east right there.
But I could watch them try and take the moral high ground over it all day. They literally have no idea they're doing it either:
"No, clearly they know that, ultimately, many of those weapons will be used to commit atrocities, including killing children. A brief look at the numbers shows it to be inevitable. As such, any government that allows to sale of these things is also culpable and has to put an end to it.
Again, not idea they're doing it, at all.
But hey, who knows, maybe the other guy, the one in bed with the gun-toting too psycho-christians, maybe he'll "turn their back on Israel."
Maybe i got you wrong and if so i apologise but i had to get that off my chest all the same.
Haha the audacity Western libs never ceases to amaze me. You're comparing a genocide to a tragic but at all equivalent. American children are not endanger of being erased from existence. And most of the shootings are driven by the right wing fascism in your own government and society.
I'm neither an American nor a Liberal.
Yup, I did compare them but I never said they were an equivalent. Thats something you made up. More so, none of the things you said are mutually exclusive to what I said and I'm attacking the very same right wingers you seem to allude to being against too.
Just a bizzare reply.
