    Trump can get fucked in hell. And the US is full of people who don’t like “bad news,” and can’t be bothered to think.

      Maybe instead of disavowing these people who are getting arrested for protesting Israel and ICE, the actual left should be organizing to help them and use their stories to create sympathy for the left?

      “First they came for the trust fund babies who were using their money to help victims of genocide, but I didn’t stand up because he wasn’t a socialist.”

        fascism, genocide and ethnic cleansings are red lines and that fact that you only consider them to be purity signaling speaks volumes at how much to you really don’t care about your fellow human beings.

          This article is about a guy who was born into wealth that is using his money to help Palestine. Literally the second line in the article is:

          Chambers, an heir to the Cox Communications family fortune, has used his vast inheritance to fund pro-Palestine organizations for years.

          Can you explain what fascism, genocide and ethnic cleansings this guy has been involved in?

            the only real purity fetish involved here are liberals who are taught that “true” leftists must be come from the capitalist downtrodden classes to be truly pure.

            if you spent more than average effort to peek beyond the propaganda that misinforms you, you would instantly see that nearly all of them started out as members of the ruling class that betrayed the ruling class in the same way that leftists start out as liberals and can now understand how deeply propagandized liberals are as a result.

            we were once like you, but managed to turn off the tv, facebook, reddit, etc. and started reading for ourselves.

              You’re not that deep. I’ve known a lot about the realities of the world from a very young age due to circumstances. I bet I’m just as widely read as you too if not more so. I know how propagandized we are. Every single person on the planet is. I always knew this. It’s nothing new and never has been.

                your awareness and your anecdotal experience doesn’t matter anywhere near as much as learning from the others who have come and tried before you for the last century and a half and looking at your exchanges with others here makes it clear that’s the piece of the puzzle you’re missing.

              I doubt the US government would be coming after him if he was a pedo Gates case. You need to understand that not every American is against you. You are ensuring the right win forever if you don’t build strategic bridges. You don’t need to agree on everything with your allies but you do need to learn to recognise allies.

      I think they’re talking about the other right wingers that cosplay as the left in their political theatre.
