Colonialism cannot simply subjugate minorities with violent force alone, it isn't enough to turn people against their homes.

Colonialism must divide people with fear and make them pick sides against their heart so that the oppression of Colonialism is distracted from by the oppression of people hurting each other as they try to claw their way up through brutal racist, classist conditions all the while being lectured by white people.

It doesn't have to make sense to you why people would vote against their interests, you must simply understand that it is essential for authoritarian control and thus rich people have gotten very good at convincing people to do it in the US.

You can only have a class based system where certain groups are excluded from enjoying decent lives if there is always a sales pitch being made to a minority group that if they betray their own interests to help white people come out on top again then they will be let into the white club. Whiteness dies without that and yet whiteness can never really let anybody in who isn't white without dying itself.

Focus your anger on the immense incongrituities of this situation not the fact that it hurts people so bad they can't see clearly with their heart anymore.

1. I never claimed Trump wouldn't be worse for Gaza, neither did any leftist I followed, stop making this baseless accusation. Anecdotes of "well I heard lots of people say it!" don't count, you need to provide material evidence here, especially that prominent leftist news channels with any credibility on the left were promoting this.

2. I am not claiming a moral superiority other than saying that yes I am better than someone who actively facilitated a genocide, you are projecting that onto this conversation.

Explain how this is propaganda and isn't just you getting triggered by the truth?

Biden supporters/centrists who can't grapple with their complicity in the Genocide of Palestinians will continue to hide behind their denial that they opened the door to one of the worst attrocities in my lifetime that was directly enabled by Biden.... and Harris refused to make any daylight between her and Biden on it.

When are y'all gonna stop being bitter losers? Do you think there are some amount of consequences for the decisions others made that will make me feel bad for a decision I did not make?

I voted for Kamala, you have nothing to attack me with but your own bitterness about not being on the right side of history.

you let a single (important, awful) issue, THAT TRUMP WAS ALSO OBVIOUSLY GOING TO BE WORSE ON make you a mouthpiece for right wing propaganda

oh really? what right wing propaganda specifically?

the left would rather spend all their time attacking one another for being the wrong brand of left, rather than actually go out and do something productive.

Just if it starts to feel weird because you feel like you are trying to exaggerate a story that may or may not be there in the data, trust yourself :) you aren't!

Iran getting a nuke has always been imminent to the story necessary to Netanyahu, to him we are just in the last few frames of the last scene before it has cut to the next plot point, the reason he has been acting like an angry hate baby for all this time is the story has been paused (because it is a shit story) and we just unpaused it.

Well, Joe Biden really unpaused it by giving Netanyahu complete free reign and then doing such a bad job that he handed all that power and potential directly to one fascist Donald J. Trump but it makes centrists and neolibs feel better when you only blame Trump.

1. I voted for Kamala

2. I am not an elected official

3. I did not force the DNC to be silent on the Palestinian Genocide

4. You are blaming me, a random internet commentor, for the actions taken by some of the most powerful people on earth who would laugh at me telling them to do something

Hey, that is a good vent, when you do a good vent people see it and say "damn I have been through/am going through/will go through that" and there is an inherent kindness to making that not a solitary feeling experience for everyone else so thank you!

If you are worried about your ADHD evaluation I get it, people around me all the time try to get me to really trust the healthcare system around me and I just can't, at every point of contact with the US healthcare system it is demonstrated that not only does the US healthcare system not understand WHY ADHD destroys my quality of life, it is actually quite violently uninterested in it to the point that the only people I am ever allowed to talk to are people without any power (on purpose) to change the things that are hurting me about the healthcare they are offering.

I would recommend focusing on how hard ADHD has made your life, but not in terms of where you have gotten. Every time you notice the doctor start to look at your credentials and go in their head "well they seem really distraught but that is a good college and not an easy job so they must be exaggerating to me" smack them back to reality with a description of how much brutal stress and anxiety ADHD brings to your daily life that you can't just sweep under the rug or meditate out of because it has to do with necessary basic life tasks.

I have to tell you as I have to tell myself every day people really DO NOT FUCKING GET how unbelievably hard you have to try to do things you can't get yourself to do. People will not only NEVER understand you for that, they may become so intimidated by your strength and power from realizing you are constantly doing that in the background seemingly "effortlessly" that they will want to destroy and crush you out of pure fear instinct. An equally large group of healthcare providers will simply never be able to grapple with how much their ignorance has hurt ADHD people they have spent far too much time extracting pride out of believing they were helping and it is easier now for their story to destroy you than start a new chapter that grapples with all of the already written chapters.

The stupidness and inanity of being invisible with ADHD because healthcare providers listen to the words you say and then look back down at their instructions after nodding and letting the words pass through their mind like wrapped gift presents not to be overly examined or memorized.. will drive you up a wall and also it may eventually kill you when healthcare providers begin to identify a more simple narrative that fits their worldview about why you won't do the thing you are supposed to.

Yeah, this is war, act accordingly...
