In shock announcement, Trump says U.S. wants to take over Gaza Strip

[sigmaklimgrindset@sopuli.xyz]

No. I'm done. I've just realized that the Palestinian genocide to people like you is nothing but a thought experiment. I refuse to engage with someone who uses the actual plight of the Palestinians as a gotcha against Americans while not even participating in the political systems here.

Focus on your own country, because unless you're from South Africa, you probably have a non-zero number of politicians who support Israel as well. This is not a fucking spectator sport.

Steve Bannon said six years ago on Bill Maher: "You seperate the signal from the noise. Watch the signal. There's a flashbang grenade every day as far as noise goes. Watch the signal."

The Biden administration voted against Palestinian self determination at the UN. The Democrats were never serious about stopping the genocide or a two state solution.

These people can't stop shadowboxing with people who supposedly withheld their votes. It's weird. How many people who otherwise would have voted for Kamala stayed home because of their ongoing support of the genocide in Gaza? Do we even know? And if it was the decisive issue causing the Democratic defeat, what is the political lesson learned?

I can't help but feel this understandable anger is completely misdirected. Or, maybe they support what is going on in Gaza and they're annoyed that a critical part of their voting coalition felt otherwise?

Based on what I have been seeing on Lemmy so far this morning, I full expect to see someone say they care more about Palestinian genocide than Palestinians by the end of the day.

Distracting us from their actions to enact Project 2025 plans, mostly. The degradation of human rights (starting with immigrants and trans people, for example). It seems like they're gonna keep threatening to invade countries and they're gonna keep playing tariff chicken, but pay attention to what they're doing within the US.

[regrub@lemmy.world]

Direct actions taken to degrade civil rights and human rights within the US in pursuit of their Project 2025 plans

[doomsider@lemmy.world]

I love threads like this. I can now block all the people who are here to lie and manipulate us. They are not here to have honest conversations.

[flyingsquid@lemmy.world]

So... like taking over Gaza?

[stamets@lemmy.world]

Just a not even remotely friendly reminder that if you are American, eligible to vote and didn't vote for Kamala then you actively voted for this. Actively voted for genocide. If you didn't vote you're even fucking worse because at least the Republicans were willing to openly say what horrible people they are. You just don't care.

The United States is a failed country, a terrorist state and should be wrenched away from its people. You do not deserve to have a country that large with that much power when you are incapable of agreeing on a singular fucking thing. The United States should be forcibly broken up into at least 2, if not more, countries that can make up a trade bloc. This bullshit of getting everyone killed from coast to coast because of your pathetic patriotic ego of "wahhhhhhh but my countryyyyyyyyyy"

Fuck the United States.

[treczoks@lemmy.world]

That is a problem that I also noticed.

[merc@sh.itjust.works]

If you didn't vote then you voted. Got it.

[jomusic@lemmy.ml]

I mean, a huge number of his own supporters are questioning this. I wouldn't call this a viable strategy.

[jaybone@lemmy.world]

Worst. Strip. Ever.

[stamets@lemmy.world]

Correct. If you didn't vote then you are spineless, a coward and lack any morals. You saw fascism coming and ignored what everyone said and then decided that it wasn't worth the bare minimum effort of voting.

If you did not cast a ballot and you were eligible to do so then the things I want to say to you would get me banned from lemmy and probably arrested.

[zenitsu@sh.itjust.works]

Not engaging is also a choice, a very shit one in this case. Think of it like this, you either contributed -1, 0, or +1 to a fascist takeover, sure 0 might be better than +1 but taking a neutral stance against such a dogshit prospect really puts the chair in armchair revolutionary, and doesn't make you much better than the cheeto worshippers.

[mrkawfee@lemmy.world]

People just don't want to accept that Trump is the true face of the US. It doesn't matter who is in charge.

[saeveo@lemmy.world]

Claire Daly is absolutely pro-Russian, yeah.

No longer an MEP thankfully, her and that other clown Mick Wallace were both voted out..

[zenitsu@sh.itjust.works]

People who are too moronic to understand the tightrope that any administration is walking in the middle east and think it's "just as bad" to give in to a fascist takeover instead are too far gone, and should start taking whatever meds are required asap.
