you click on a 3 hour video about johnny appleseed and the intro ends with "but first, we need to talk about the biblical implication of apples and their origin" and the next thing you see is "Part 1: The Garden of Eden and the Apple of Knowledge" on the screen

I hope all the vote bluers are enjoying the blue fascism that they claimed would be happening under trump.

The american GFW is going up. It is illegal to protest in three states. Student protestors are being stripped of their rights and beaten into submission. 100s of billions of military aid for three different theaters across the world. Cop cities and crime bills are being rolled out across the country. Above all, continued and unstopping support for genocide in Palestine.

And what do you want me to do? Not vote? Vote MAGA? I fail to see what you are trying to say because right now the options have been near immediate slide to dictatorship with MAGA republicans or a wobbly democrats, at least with democrats there is the FUCKING TIME to influence the direction that the party goes. What do you want? A silver bullet? A gold pen that fixes all your issues with one glorious stoke? A democracy is an ongoing project that you must build collectively, a deliberately messy thing that you must work to better and sometimes you don’t get a perfect option. Telling off people who picked the apple that would merely make them sick rather than the apple that would straight up kill them as if they were too dumb to realize that the apple was bad for them is a terrible way to get things done.

so 35000 dead Palestinians and the national guard squashing student protests is a concession you’re willing to make to get your guy elected is all you’re reiterating. How about don’t take a bite of either apple because you know both are bad? Like jesus christ at first I was angry about your dumb thesis and now I’m just angry at how terrible of a metaphor that is

I do not wish for people to die, for people to be trampled down, for people to go without. I do not see these as concessions for “my guy” to get elected. What I do see is that of the two parties in power, there is one that absolutely does not tolerate any step out of line and one that can be bullied/coerced into doing what I think is morally right. I will always place my support where I think it can do the most good and right now it’s the democrats. They must be forced to the right thing, but at least they can be made to do good.

Also apologies for the poor apple metaphor.

So as long as just Palestinians die it's cool so that way Trump doesn't get elected? That way Americans can be 'safe' at home under Biden? Do American lives matter more than Palestinians? Interesting belief system.

C'mon don't be losers, instead of doing Watcher subscription giveaways just literally buy esims for Gaza or donate to non-profit charities like Care for Gaza, which actually help affected Palestinians and deliver food and other necessities to them. There's also a bunch for Sudan like the one set up by the ICRC. Don't give $6 just for a man to eat expensive shit on camera when that $6 can do so much for an entire nation of starving people.

also just.generally in shock at how ignorant someone can be. and i will always extend grace to people who dont have the background or access or ability to learn. but for people who have these things its like. no bc how are you genuinely like.surviving. i just had to tell a girl that abraham lincoln wasnt black and franz ferdinand and frederick douglass were different people imsick to my core

"Rent should be no more than 30% of household income" is a really funny and roundabout way to say "property owners as a class are entitled to 30% of gross wages"
