    This is also the correct approach for those liberals that are like “why should I care about Palestine?” I like to hit them with “because your tax dollars are going to blow up children instead of fixing our roads and paying for you to be healthy and have a nice environment”. It’s certainly the least empathetic path to get someone to support your side, but when it comes to stopping a genocide, we don’t have a lot of leverage which is crazy

      The only problem with this approach is that it still enables the pacifying force of fascism.

      “Fine, we will give you free healthcare and fix the roads, genocides still happening though”.

      It’s basically the same “we will do genocide, but bring out a rainbow flag occasionally and allow trans people to partake” that the Dems do now, just more concessions towards the populace.

        Oh, absolutely. It’s like the first step into cracking the thick dome libs build up around their ideology and many more steps have to be taken if you can get through to them even a little bit
