I can’t wait to see the leopards ate my face memes when Trump gets voted in and sends US troops in to help Israel.

Absolute nonsense

I can’t wait to see the leopards ate my face memes when Kamala gets voted in and sends US troops in to help Israel.

OSINT Shows U.S. Deploying More Arms and Troops to Israel, Cyprus and Jordan

Close to 80 U.S. military planes and dozens of leased civilian aircraft are hauling equipment, with massive arms airlift to Israel and Cyprus and fighter squadrons and special forces in Jordan

https://www.haaretz.com/israel-news/security-aviation/2023-10-24/ty-article/u-s-deploys-more-arms-and-troops-to-israel-cyprus-and-jordan/0000018b-5cbf-d307-adbb-7dbf1aa80000

See also the fake aid bullshit that serves no one but Israeli interests:

And also:

https://www.declassifieduk.org/u-s-military-is-secretly-supplying-weapons-to-israel-using-uk-base-on-cyprus

Over the past year, numerous outlets have reported that US and UK military aircraft have increasingly arrived at Britain’s RAF Akrotiri base in Cyprus last year, in an effort to reportedly assist Israeli forces in their offensive on Gaza by supplying arms and ammunition and conducting surveillance to collect and provide intelligence.

https://www.middleeastmonitor.com/20240626-turkiye-reveals-intelligence-that-cyprus-serves-as-military-base-for-israel/

Or you know, even before Oct 7th, when Israel was already and still an apartheid ethno state practicing ethnic cleansin: https://www.army.mil/article/267671/u_s_army_convoy_operation_to_israel

Sure the US troops aren’t firing the bullets. But they are supplying them, supplying targeting intelligence, etc etc. That’s pretty much just as bad.

Fuck this thing veneer of respectability.

They’re sending drones and bombs and the only casualties are mostly Palestinians families. US troops would literally be useless, or worse, a hindrance to isrealis troops, because they wouldn’t be able to randomly shoot at any neighborhood to cause maximum casualties anymore.

you should read “Kill Anything That Moves” by Nick Turse. American troops would absolutely revel in causing maximum casualties, there would be no conflict between US troops and the IDF.

About 1/4th of the downvotes on this post are from zero-content accounts. Likely some US democratic-party astroturfing going on like they did on reddit.

Thank you for pointing out the astroturfing. Would it be possible to implement a filter which diminishes or ignores the vote count of astroturfing accounts?

There’s a few proposals in the github issues, such as making all votes transparent, and an option to block federated downvotes.

It’s only a Final Solution if it comes from the GOP, otherwise it’s “sparkling genocide.”

If you want to fix this, your path is easy:

  • Vote Democratic in the general election because there’s never going to be a anti-genocide Republican. Ever.
  • Take a page out of the Republican playbook and campaign against AIPAC-backed Democratic candidates in primaries.
  1. Why do you think there will be anti-genocide democrats? There don’t seem to be any that approach any position of power. Why do you think genocide is supported in the first place?

  2. Why do you think “vote harder” is the answer? What financial interests would support anti-genocide? Why does AIPAC exist and why does it have power?

Complaining about candidates in the general election is too late and actually depresses Democratic turnout. You need to dot he hard work of signing up registered voters and getting good candidates at every level.

Complaints come from the very real fact that the Democrats are actively supporting genocide. The blame for depressed turnout is not on the people unhappy with genocide, but on the ones supporting genocide. Voting for genocide even harder isn’t going to work against genocide.

Democratic voters have a big problem with not showing up in off-cycle and local elections, and that abdication of responsibility is largely why the corporate wing of the party has the influence that it does. Republican voters show up to every single election, even the primary for town dog catcher.

Wrong order of operations. The corporate wing has the most power because they are the reason the Democrats have any power, by sucking up to their donors. The progressives are kept on a leash and allowed to bark so that the working class thinks they have a real voice, despite the reality that Capitalists will remain in control. This drives away voters, yes, but keeps funding up.
