I’ve seen this rather odd trend with trump (and the media) where they are talking about plans for ethnic cleansing in gaza and taking mineral resources from east Ukraine.

But the US or its proxies don’t physically control Gaza or the Donbass, and nobody in the media seems to be talking about this rather important complication. Russia and the palestian resistance, for all intents and purposes, have won their respective wars (for now).

    Yes, your argument is entirely valid. After witnessing an actual genocide being ignored (dems literally covering their ears), or applauded (republicans giving netanyahu a standing ovation). I stopped caring.

    My own blood is being killed overseas by these bastards who have zero morals, I think it will get worse before it gets better, but america as a society is irredeemable in my opinion.

      I’m sorry. I hope I don’t come across like I’m trying to tell people how they should feel about it. People’s feelings are their own. And FWIW, as USian culture goes, I don’t see it as something that can survive if the region is to be decolonized. Some form of mass cultural reformation would probably need to happen alongside a new system of power that is in partnership with (not dominion over) fully sovereign indigenous nations, in order to get past all the deeply embedded colonizer thinking and behavior, including all the racism and so on. It’s a really messy situation and sometimes I wish I had been born somewhere I had an actual ethnic heritage and culture, instead of “blend of european whose ancestors came over to join in the colonization at some point.” :/
