Nothing will happen here, obviously.

When we point it out as it is happening, these left-adjacent liberals wring their hands helplessly. Then, months later, they act horrified when this shit gets leaked and pretend they didn’t know. I’m mad but I’m tired.

They’ll do the same for Lebanon and who knows what else.

I don’t know, I think right now I’m understanding the scale of evil that exists and how powerless we are.

    Idk why this hits me as hard as it does. Like obviously they were never going to let anything threaten their pet campaign of ethnic cleansing.

    I think it’s the little shard of 2019 Bernie bro lodged in my worldview that if all the stars aligned just, just perfectly then the US would have no choice but to back down and do the right thing, or at the very least the less wrong thing.

    I think that part of me is dying, though. This is a deeply diseased country. There is no hope for it to get better. Reading things like this and then going on to live my life in this place is probably my greatest shame.

      Lying to us is one thing, but gaslighting and lying to congress is a whole 'nother ball game. How congress then goes on denying their eyes, ears, and constiutuents criminalizing anyone who is loud about congress not listening.

      (This also sets Blinken up to be the fall boi for hand washing and “accountability”) but still LOCK HIM UP anyways.

      There are no depths of depravity that this hell country won’t descend to in the name of securing business interests. It’s a truly demonic place.

      Like half the site I’m listening to blowback 5 rn and the parallels between Israel and Cambodia are myriad. I’m sure it’s just a matter of time before the world discovers israeli killing fields.
