I know I was warned but finding out that only candidate I ever donated to is indeed a warmonger pro-war, so long as Democrats start them, including Libya) Zionist and as I see it, obviously racist because he can't see Palestinians as people nor the killing of children as anything except "defense".

I guess I should be grateful he was never president because he would have just been a monster war criminal just like the rest.

The way I feel right now, Sanders is even worse than the rest for being a fake piece of shit who cynically preyed off our hope and despair.

Come to think of it, I only receive very obscene insults. The race thing is right there and sometimes it seems like they were waiting all their lives to use it.

It a very cathartic experience for them but I feel like it has robbed me of a more diverse and customized insult experience.

Like being called a "Dolt" or a "Drunken Sod"

I'm literally watching conservative talk shows because it's the only sane coverage of the situation. Even better than leftist coverage because they refuse to be bullied by libs.

It is very disorienting, I can feel the pull into their other ideas because they happen to be coming from a strong moral position on this topic. If this happened a little earlier in life I could see it sucking me in to the pipeline.

Fucking Nick Fuentes made a lot sense to me today, saying that Bibi is a war criminal who is currently enacting a genocide on children (40 percent are under 16).

Of course it is disingenuous, he literally admits that in another clip (because he has to spell things out for his 12 year old audience) but it is effective and very unsettling.

I don't know how everyone here is feeling today but I imagine it is not great. I am all but completely black pilled by this and it is not for lack of cynicism.

I feel like I woke up in a new world or put on those glasses from "They Live"

I'm at the point where I'm planning my escape. Having thoroughly failed to change anything substantial after decades of work, I'm looking a beautiful, peaceful , warm , alive place to live out the rest of my life.

Fighting this seems almost delusional at this point. Idk, maybe I'm finally ready for the grill pill.

Thanks for letting me vent. Hope you all are well

Edit: there is a lot of good leftist coverage

Iran has stated that troop on the ground in Gaza is its red line

And of course some hands don't need to be forced. Last week Hezbollah launched two rockets into an empty field of contested territory to show solidarity with Hamas. Israel, of course, reacted with artillery , tanks and howitzers, in a completely disproprotionate response.

The thing is that Hezbollah can wipe the IDF and flatten Israel - wtf are they thinking?

You guys talk about Israeli war crimes but never say what they are supposed to do.

Are they NOT supposed to bomb hospitals and starve children? What are they supposed to LISTEN to international law?

My last week on Reddit summarized:

"Why don't you condemn Hamas for killing children?" "Why don't you condemn Hamas for killing children?" "Israel has every right to kill children."

I think it's all a little desperate. My suspicion is that the propaganda is not working as they hoped which makes them all the more genocidal.

I don't think this sort of reaction would be necessary without all of the pushback. I don't recall anything like it in the past, even when troops were on the ground in Gaza or Lebanon.

Israel is the international standard bearer for cry bullies.

I honestly believe that libs are being especially hyperbolic because they need to resolve the cognitive dissonance in supporting both Ukraine and Israel.

Notice how you haven't heard the phrases "territorial integrity" or "sovereignty". They know they have no argument and that their current logic contradicts past statements, so they hit the racism button and say ridiculous shit.

I'm starting ketamine therapy for PTSD this week . Really looking forward to it.

I'm very tired of not being ok but I have faith that there are solutions out there. Within myself, by connecting or getting help from others and in nature (medicine or psychedelics etc)

[-] Lettucetacoboutit@hexbear.net 26 points 1 year ago

This has black pilled me. Brought back memories of 9/11, when I was sitting in a bar watching people cheer on the bombing of Baghdad like it was a sports event.

And not only was nothing learned after decades of slaughter, things are even worse right now. Even if I was suspicious of them , in my heart , I always considered libs to be allies.

But if my allies are openly genocidal (except towards Nazis) then who exactly are we fighting?
