    Seems to me that they’ve dusted off their ol’ slave playbook, wrapped it in an American flag and sold it to these uninformed or willfully ignorant folks who are willing walking themselves to the slaughters ramp as they laugh as the brown cows in first completely oblivious to that they are next in line… it’s hard (at least for myself) to justify any sort of empathy (they hate it anyways) for them or the plights. I realize I’m becoming so desensitized to everything where it’s beginng to take its toll on trying to inform these people who are so willfully ignorant. I hope if we do make it out of this that we don’t make the same mistake that Sherman and our government did by letting these fascists, traitorous assholes escape justice and if not by government than the people. If ICE want to play “brown shirts / black shirts“ they can find out history ended for most them since they’re so much against education /end rant

    AIPAC is the biggest donor to both parties and institutions in the US. Pretty much, Israel has become a vital point in our economy, which is also known as the military industrial complex system, which keeps America running and any sort of deviation that tries to change or move it towards the lap, just gets ratcheted back towards the right slowly hence why the most of Europe views our left as center/right instead of the alternative. Literally speaking out of any sort of societal benefit for anybody get you label of a dangerous communist and a threat to democracy here in America becausewe are vastly under educated because it’s been part of the Republican plan to define education since I think it was a Nixon who was afraid of educated because it turns us into “hippies” Who generally don’t prefer war and that’s pretty much what we run on as of now not saying it’s right, not saying things can’t change But as of right now, it is basically ice-skating uphill in America, trying to get anything done that might preserve but a little erosion of democracywe have left

    Some people just fear what they don’t understand or if they think believe it’s going to turn their world (job/ scary propaganda, or even shift global economics to (more) scary scenarios. Sensationalized headlines and click bait titles make it all that much worse. It’s hard to have an open conversation about any subject if all participants have not agreed to hear the facts and have a honest dialogue.

    “If someone got to their viewpoint without using reason, there is no reason that you yourself can’t use to change their stance.”

    I try to remember that, but honestly I do let my passion for the subject I’m trying to convey overriding it more than often haha. You’ll find people who see what you see and for the others that black you? It just saved you the time and energy you would have spent on them for someone that will appreciate your effort.
