  • Yes, and that’s ridiculous. It’s part of the “everything he does is a distraction from the really bad stuff” argument I keep seeing on Lemmy. Except it isn’t. He’s doing a shit ton of damage right out in the open right after saying he’s going to do it.

    Don’t believe him on firing a ton of government employees? Don’t believe him on tariffs? Don’t believe him on mass deportations? No, all of that is a distraction. And why don’t the people affected realize that when they should be not believing him since this is all a distraction?

    “Don’t believe him” might as well be “ignore the suffering.”





  • I don’t like the state of Israel, but I don’t want the world to lose the Jewish people

    Well then you’re in luck, because more Jews live outside of Israel than live in it. Myself being one of them. Fuck Israel, it doesn’t represent me and suggesting it does is, frankly, bigoted.

    Israel is not the Jewish State even if it wants to say it is. That claim benefits two groups:

    1. The Israeli government
    2. Evangelicals who believe that all of the Jews in the entire world have to be forcibly deported to Israel in order for Jesus to return.

    And meanwhile, that sentiment increases antisemitism, it doesn’t reduce it. Israel makes the world less safe for me and my family. It does not protect me. It never has, it never will.
