You Can Not Be A "Lesser Evil" When You Are Sponsoring A Genocide by Ms Caitlin Johnstone!
Listen to a reading of this article (reading by Tim Foley):
You do not get to apply the label "lesser evil" to a president who is backing a literal genocide. That is not a thing. Past a certain point you are just plain evil.
If you were to make a list of the absolute worst things a powerful leader can do, genocide and carelessness with nuclear brinkmanship should be on the very top of that list. President Biden has done both of these. You can not legitimately call such a person a "lesser evil".
Israel supporters are scum. Lower than them are the President Biden supporters who avoid thinking too hard about his genocide in Gaza and make excuses for it, because at least the Israel supporters are honest about what they are.
Lower even than the overt Bidenists are the "progressives" who condemn Israels actions out of one side of their mouths while still pushing the need to vote for Biden out the other, because they are even less honest about themselves than the outright shitlibs. If you are going to be a genocidal shitstain, at least do it without also sowing confusion and muddying the waters.
So it turns out The New York Times hired an actual genocide supporter who had never even been a reporter before to co-author atrocity propaganda about mass rapes on October 7. If the western media actually told the truth and reported the news, this revelation would be a major international story today.
-oh my god. One of the three authors of the New York Times "mass rape" atrocity propaganda hoax is Anat Schwartz. She liked posts calling for Gaza to be turned into a "slaughterhouse". This the person the NYT hired to write about Palestinians and frame them as sub-human monsters-(zei-squirrel) February 24, 2024
Being an ally country to the USA is like being friends with a really bitchy drama queen where you are only allowed to help her tear down her social enemies and can not ever talk about what she is doing to create all the conflict in her life because if you do she will come for you next.
Palestinian lives are more important than western feelings. It does not matter if criticizing President Bidens actions makes your feelings feel nervous about Donald Trump. It does not matter if pro-Palestine activism makes your feelings feel like you have been persecuted. Your feelings do not matter.
Western liberal leaders are always trying to get you to trade feelings in exchange for concrete improvements in material conditions. Now Biden administration officials are proclaiming how "disappointed" they are in the Netanyahu government for approving thousands of new West Bank settlements, even as they continue their unconditional material support for Israeli butchery of Palestinians.
Before that western leaders were all babbling about how "concerned" they are about the impending assault on Rafah while physically pouring more and more weapons into Israel.
Before that they were telling everyone we should focus on how some Jewish Zionists feel threatened by pro-Palestine demonstrations instead of focusing on the human butchery that is being experienced by Gazans.
You see this over and over again, on all issues.
You want an end to genocide, they solemnly tell you their hearts are with the people of Gaza who are experiencing unimaginable hardship - but never actually do anything to stop it.
You want an end to police brutality, they tell you they hear you, they support you, they stand with you - but never actually change policing policy.
You want healthcare, they tell you to focus on getting emotionally hysterical about Donald Trump instead of helping to improve your material conditions.
You want economic justice, they tell you to instead get worked up about culture war issues the powerful do not care about and focus on how good it feels to be on the correct side of that war.
They have set up this counterfeit currency system where you hand them political power and consent to the murderousness, tyranny and exploitation of the globe-spanning empire - and they pay you for it in feelings.
"Here is unipolar planetary hegemony," we tell them.
"And here are your feelings," they reply magnanimously.
"Here is our consent for unfettered capitalism, neoliberal imperialist extraction, wars, militarism, starvation sanctions and proxy conflicts," we say.
"And as payment for your product, we present you with some feelings," they tell us with a warm smile.
"Here is our health, the health of our biosphere, our future, and our sanity," we say.
"And here is a big fat briefcase full of feelings," they reply.
The message we are fed over and over again is that feelings matter more than Palestinian lives.
Feelings matter more than your neighbors having a roof over their head and being able to provide for their children.
Feelings matter more than freedom from tyranny and abuse.
Feelings matter more than the ecosystem we depend on for survival.
Feelings matter more than avoiding nuclear armageddon.
And everything keeps on getting worse and worse, and somehow all these feelings we are being traded are not actually making us feel any better.
Somehow supporting the correct leaders who say the correct words is not actually improving anything.
We have traded these people the entire world, and looked down to find ourselves holding a big plastic bag of Monopoly money!!
