    This is why we can’t ignore it when the only other option is allowed to do whatever because it’s not as bad.

    It doesn’t matter. 99% of voters pick one of the two ruling parties every time, and both of them are pro-genocide.

      Exactly. Can’t have change from within the system when the vast majority willingly throws away their political leverage and uncritically grants power to genocidal imperialists.

      How many empty promises must people fall victim to before they decide to do something other than beg for change?

        They’ve been trained, from nearly a century of propaganda, to deny the possibility of any alternative forms of the government or economy. It’s the reason for half of the US’s foreign policy.

      I don’t believe it’s direct support for genocide, more than that genocide is an acceptable price for others to pay for American Imperialism/Exceptionalism.

        I’d consider giving a country more WMD’s in the middle of bombing hospitals, apartment buildings, and kids pro-genocide.

          What I mean is that it’s just the means to the end of projecting US power in the middle east.

          They’ll maintain power via Israel not matter the price.
