I often wondered this with the extreme pro palestinian anti biden stuff. Is it real folks, is it manipulation of the narrative. I certainly saw the river to the sea with folks with in person protests.

People who actually care about Palestine with moral consistency, know the uniparty for what it is. In fact, they know post-WW2 America itself for what it is, the primary worldwide genocider. They also know that it wasn't a random change in direction.

And it would have been funny the irony of talking about literally anything else being inorganic in the last election, other than Kamala's manufactured and fake popularity, that is if the world situation wasn't as sad as it is.

this is funny because why even protest in the us. the attitude would be one of completely giving up. This is the us. this is the way its always been since ww2 (not sure the us was better before ww2).

Alls you need is the lip service and your good.

"Nazi Bar" analogies are also somehow appropriate to push everywhere, except the congress, the senate, ...

except its fighting the disease with more disease. peaceful protest is a right that developed since ww2. US citizens complaining on the internet and going to protest then going home and paying their taxes and working for their bosses and oh they have to do that lest they lose the fruits of their priveleged position. You go to a certain point and its impossible not to be a hypocrite by your own definitions.
