Is it a good idea to over and over again line up all your traumatic memories just right so they disappear in one big satisfying poof though?

You are still on your free trial period, so this is a demo.

Daydreaming about little girls isn’t quite the same thing as being asleep.

And then that politician spectacularly loses in the next election even though they outspent their opponent by 10 times and it helps sink the idea that AIPAC is still powerful or holds any sway over the opinions of the average person in the US.

“Hi Benny, no more weapons for you :) Call me back babe if you want to talk about it.”

When Netanyahu calls back in a panic, simply repeat the phrase “stop the genocide or we will never give you military assistance again” until he hangs up.

It really doesn’t matter what words you choose, Israel is a colonial outpost of the US, we utterly control the trajectory of the nation and to pretend otherwise is to swipe an absolutely astounding amount of military, monetary and political enablement under the rug that we have showered endlessly on Israel while it slaughters Palestinians.

Those people don’t fucking vote.

Give sources for your evidence or stop repeating lazy narratives like this. You devalue this entire conversation by diluting the meaningful parts of it with your arguments towards people you imagine exist and are most definitely in the room right now with us like some kind of ghost you keep insisting is present that none of the rest of us can see.

Stopping putting words in my mouth that I did not say and have an actual conversation with the person in front of you, not this strawman you keep shoving in front of me while I am trying to make a different point that you refuse to listen to because you are sure I did something and am proud of it that I have repeatedly said I did not do.

The most popular politicians in the US are vocal about stopping the Palestinian Genocide, so yeah I absolutely would take that strategy if I was going to run.

Do you have… any basis for your beliefs or is this just all feelings and no facts for you?

No, this is not how it works and the Democratic party will not win until it stops with this condescending voters shit.

If politicians refuse to listen to voters, the system is irrevocably headed for collapse, it seems like maybe you are in denial about that?

Regardless of the outcome of the election, things weren’t going to change in the short term. It wasn’t an issue that was relevant to the election because of this.

It is voters that decide what is relevant, not the politicians.

Get out of here with your poetry, the bombs Israel drops are made in my backyard.

The idea that we don’t have decisive leverage over Netanyahu is absurd and laughable.

You win by convincing the undecided voters in the middle. Every vote you gain from the center is also a vote your opponent lose.

Do you have evidence this is true? I have not seen it in recent US elections.

I cannot express how much I fucking hate people like you right now

Yes because this is about your emotions and needing a satisfying story to direct your anger at, not reality.

But also, we have so much shit to fix here that it’ll be a bit until we get there. We’ve already squandered telling Israel to stop their shit.

Bullshit, if we wanted the Palestinian Genocide to stop we could make Israel stop with a single phonecall.

Ok now show us how planes fly on horses.

It isn’t really Open Source if it can become not Open Source.

steal it I doubledog dare you

I think most people agree but when we slip into trashing social media as a concept and lose the nuance I get concerned.

Social media is a terrible for us. Me included. It’s addictive - that’s why I’m here.

If that is how you feel I encourage you to start from a position of curiosity about what draws you here beyond a simple thought terminating comparison to an addictive physical substance or our sex drive.

It’s the combination of an individualized engagement algorithm and user-generated content that defines modern social media.

This is precisely what is supercharging this moral panic, people don’t automatically think critically about this and will bandwagon on social media = bad because it feels righteous and is easy unless WE force a more nuanced conversation.
