    I don’t think the bulk of democrat volunteers are directly complicit in Gazan genocide.

    Though i am in no way fit to judge others whom i do not know, i strongly disagree with this. “Just doin their jobs” doesn’t hold no truck with me. If you knowingly continue to work for a killer you are explicitly consenting that your own basic human right to life is equally valid. That is to say, their claim to that right is only as strong as their commitment to that right.

    At the very least it would be unfair to be surprised of that being a consequence of their lack of morality.

      I want to clear up that I am not absolving their efforts , I don’t mean to absolve whatever effects democratic volunteers have on the Gazan genocide. However I think if you are talking people with direct culpability, there are much more useful targets than doorknockers or phonebankers. Media companies, arms manufacturers, AIPAC, Zionist lobbyists, democratic and Republican politicians and their major bankrollers are more accurate for a party to form a political target/program around.

        I’ll say first i’m not really arguing just in case i seem aggressive towards you. I’m not in the greatest mood but it’s not you or this subject at all.

        Let’s not forget this convo is stemmin from a joke an all, but that aside yes there are more important targets but they would hardly be sacrificed for his eternal reign now would they?

        Context of joke being the govt starts killing its lowest level workers and (which isnt even far of from the truth), not which of these motherfuckers should face the wall first.

          Yes you are right I wandered off the og comment a bit. I’m just sick of being surrounded by this monstrous society when I know that there’s nothing fated or determined about how shitty it is ,and sometimes I feel insane knowing that two German guys 150 years ago proved mathematically both how shitty it is, and how it could be transformed utterly by the same people mired in the shit. And here we are still pushing that boulder up the mountain. But what else are we gonna do?
