I can't wrap my head around how some of them can be so hateful and intolerant when they are the true soy boys.
the only version of reality they know is on fox news, newsmax, the joe rogan experience, and am radio.
this war has been coming. they've even known its coming. but they understand it to be solely at the feet of the chinese state manipulating the markets. they think, because it's the only perspective they've ever been exposed to, 47 to be a big strong power daddy standing up to those bullies.
it has never occurred to them that the great imperial powers, russia, china, the anglosphere, are engaged in a centuries long stalemate. one that benefits no one but the people at the top. their big power daddy is not their savior, but their antichrist. their pharaoh, caesar, king, and overseer. he hates them and will make them suffer.
and i hate everyone in this thread thinking laughing at them is the play here. they turn to their churches because their churches promise to help them and accept them. i'm sick of this performative leftist bullshit. things don't get better by shaming the morons, they get better by feeding them and showing them another way. through galvanizing them against all our opressors. yeah, some are so twisted with hate you can never help them, but by not even trying to bring them to our way of seeing things you're repeating all of the same mistakes that created a malicious and uninformed public in germany that cranked out adolf eichmanns.
don't be like israelis blaming this genocide on an evil race of tormentors. be like hannah arendt blaming it on a system of manipulation of what right and wrong even is
Laughing at them is the only play. They will not listen to us no matter what. They deserve this, and while it sucks for the rest of us too, we might as well enjoy their suffering since they puposfully did this to us. The US is on a path to crash and burn, and the faster it does so, the sooner we can maybe start building something good again.

How do you square these two things?
Please explain
In the above post you state it's OK to laugh because the farmers purposefully elected Trump, leading to a (predictable) trade war and suffering.
In the linked post you explain that Palestinians in Gaza mostly support the attacks on Israel.
Should the starvation and attacks the Palestinians suffer then be ridiculed because "they deserve it"?
Fair point. In this case, the adults who voted for Trump may go bankrupt, but they nor their families will starve, ironically because of the social programs they are also likely opposed to. In Gaza, even the adults have less access to education that might give them a chance of critical thinking, and the children are dying. That's not funny in any way. So I suppose it's a matter of degrees, but it's such a different degree that it's hard for me to see it as similar.
