It’s insane to me and I don’t think many people realize that a large part of American (civilian, non-academic, “salt of the earth” types) support for Israel is directly tied to eschatology.
A huge swath of Christians (and some Jews, and some Muslims) believe the Third Temple has to be built where the Dome of the Rock currently stands before their messiah can return. It’s literally a doomsday cult, they expect/want WWIII.
They want to rebuilt the Temple Mount so Jesus/the messiah can come. It’s religious doctrine and they believe it’s their work. The cooperation and shared goals of Zionists (jewish people and fundamentalist christians) and Christian Nationalists (white nationalists, secure the future for our children types etc) is interesting and terrifying.
Trump is running his mouth about a Riviera cause real estate is all he knows.
A free “vacation” where you have to play dress up and pretend to be someone you’re not? No thanks.
It’s an avalanche of straws at this point it’s pretty wild honestly.
It’s an .ml user if you don’t jump through their hoops then you’re not a real leftist and they’ll call you a “liberal” like they’re a fucking MAGAt.
I’d fuck with tamale poutine.
I hope you say the same thing to every citizen in every repressive regime around the world.
There is no war but the class war comrade.
We have more in common with an entitled boomer or homeless man than we do with Elmo or Zuck (or McConnell or Pelosi) or any of the other elite. Everything else is a distraction to class consciousness, don’t fall into the same trap lead-brained and propagandized victims of childhood abuse do. They are not the enemies.
There is no war but the class war, full stop.
The boomer I see sleeping on the sidewalk every morning is more a victim of capitalist fuckery than I’ll ever be. There’s no war but the class war, everything else is secondary.
I just say “no thanks!” and walk by. Our interaction is done once I’ve paid for my stuff. Want to check my receipt? Too bad, I get it on my phone and I’m not showing you my phone.
