The next one will probably be No Kings 2 combined with anti Iran war protests.

It’s amazing how you get so close to the issue and then push the blame down to the impoverished.

The reason not to address poverty is to make people desperate so they then join the military. Therefore they are now volunteers and “chose” this path. So “we” don’t have to feel bad for them, instead the American people are generally thankful for their service or in your case angry with them. This is all intentional. Their deaths now becomes acceptable.

If the US government addressed cyclical poverty they would lose military recruitment. Then they could turn to conscription, but that would make their conflicts less tolerable to the general public.

So they dont address these issues. It’s intentional, and by pushing blame down instead if up where it belongs you’re just playing into their plan

You are seriously underestimating cyclical poverty. It’s not just about “paying for college”. There are a lot of places in this country where you’ll struggle your whole life and will then statistically die much younger than your better off peers.

We as a society have generally failed to provide solutions to this kind of poverty. For many the military is the only choice. For many it’s not even about college, it’s about having a meal tomorrow.

You speak as someone that’s never expirenced the worst of poverty.

I can agree it’s not the best solution, but people will take it because our society offers little else. I won’t critize them for taking it.

We should focus on the systematic issues that lead to this type of poverty and maybe adress all the other problems surrounding the military industrial complex before we critize poor kids

This exactly, if you believe the military only serves the interests of billionaires, instead of attacking those who enlist look at the systemic reasons why people join the military. It’s usually poverty.

So what Iran is just supposed to let Israel continue unprovoked attacks? Yeah that’s a fucking stupid take.

Also the US was the invader during the Vietnam War so that’s a bad example all around

I think you’re forgetting differences in military capabilities.

Israel can be more selective in it’s targets in Gaza, but they deliberately chose hospitals. Iran, the nation defending itself, has to send large missile barrages to try and break through the iron dome defense. Those will be less precise

I’d be fine if the apartheid government willingly dissolved and created a new system where the genocide of Palestinian people wasn’t the goal. A government that didn’t attack it’s neighbors on a whim.

This could be bloodless, but unfortunately the state will not allow that

Apartheid governments don’t get my sympathies. If the people wanted it to end I’d support the people

It’s like feeling bad when Berlin was bombed.

Like yeah there are of course some innocents there, but the majority are involved in either the war machine or the genocide.

It’s always easier to send someone else to die isn’t it?

I’m politically involved, and plan to continue to be. I’m sorry that there’s not enough bloodshed for you

Right so you think you have the moral imperative to tell me to risk my life to change the government in a country you don’t even live in?

I hate this criticism so much. You want others to start an armed revolution that you won’t.

It’s peak arm chair hypocrisy

First let’s settle one thing, Israel has no right to exist. I’m against assuming 100% of the populace is all for the genocide. The majority government and their supporters clearly are.

The apartheid state of Israel needs to end. The genocide needs to be stopped by any means, except a genocide in return.

The entire majority government and their supporters can hang.

I’m not going to condem the rest for a “thought” crime they didn’t commit. Maybe they would have done the same thing, maybe not.

Blaming the government in power and those who put them in power for the actions taken by the government is totally reasonable.

You’re suggesting well “what about a hypothetical government that doesn’t exist huh?”. That doesn’t matter. They don’t exist. Blame the government

I know what gets me is being too tired to commit to a game mentally after work.

Then the weekends get filled with chores

The Supreme Court has already ruled against him several times this year alone

And that’s why a used condom has the best chance. No one would just vote for a condom, it’s empty on the inside.

Sounds like someone is afraid of West Virginia’s citizens remembering their history and dragging him into the street

You choose to be a cop, I didn’t choose to be born here

He did just announce that the state should withhold all federal taxes.

If he actually does it good, but also buckle up boys
