Nice.

If Americans want the protests to stop, they should stop supporting genocide.

Mm and how has the average San Franciscan contributed to a war on the other side of the planet?

The same way the average American contributed to black oppression. By being silent observers to your government’s actions.

In the same way we all do. Those weapons can’t be built without a reliable economy. Interruptions in labor produce ripple effects which disrupt the atrocities of the capitalist class.

Except these morons protest everywhere except where the weapons are made and shipped from. Curious.

Okay, so why haven’t you, as I assume an American, stopped working to disrupt the atrocities of the capitalist class?

It is easy to condemn obvious wrongdoers, but what about the supporting cast of complicitors: business partners, employees, investors, news organizations, and others? Whether we’re aware of it or not, almost all of us have been complicit in the unethical behavior of others and have not always used ethical decision-making skills.

Those protestors should have already stopped paying taxes if that mattered.

If all these losers love palestine so much, they should go live there, and see for themselves what a beacon of western liberal values it is.

The Hamas genocide of 1200 civilians in Israel? Or using their populace as human shields in Gaza?

You go where your enemy is hiding. The glorious freedom fighters of Hamas, who have been holding an infant captive for half a year now, use the civilian population that they’re supposed to protect as human shields, slave labor, and conscripts.

Ah yes collective justice. Punish the population for what their government did. Hmm this feels familiar, is something like that happening somewhere else in world right now?

Be wary of fighting monsters, lest you become a monster.

yes bro. Your morning or afternoon commute becoming an hour longer is equivilant to having your people wiped off the face of the earth. Truly they can’t see this hypocrisy for what it is!!

It shows how little some people value the lives of brown people on another continent. How many people would have to die before they’d consider foregoing their mocha latte?

Ah yes Schrodinger’s protest. It is at once not a big deal and at the same time a big deal that will cause change.

Hey just curious, when you were being taught in school to raise awareness did they maybe mention something about how the process of abstraction works? No? Ok, guess it is my job. A =/ B, just because A does not equal B does not mean have nothing in common.

Edit: never mind, just noticed you are using an alt-account. Makes sense now.

This is so ignorant and entitled. I watched so many videos of kids watching their parents die in front of their eyes in gaza. It’s horrible to even imagine. How can you be so heartless?
