        The same way the average American contributed to black oppression. By being silent observers to your government’s actions.

        In the same way we all do. Those weapons can’t be built without a reliable economy. Interruptions in labor produce ripple effects which disrupt the atrocities of the capitalist class.

        It is easy to condemn obvious wrongdoers, but what about the supporting cast of complicitors: business partners, employees, investors, news organizations, and others? Whether we’re aware of it or not, almost all of us have been complicit in the unethical behavior of others and have not always used ethical decision-making skills.

            “None of the Above” which… like it or not is a vote against genocide… not FOR Trump.

            It’s not the voting populations’ fault that the judiciary is dragging it’s legs punishing Trump. Americans have ruined their country.

              Only one of two people will win. Donald wants Israel to “finish the job.” Everyone abstaining or voting third party wll be doing a shocked Pikachu face when this genocide expands to other countries under a nakedly fascist administration.

                  Seriously though, learn a tiny bit of history and political science. Look into the origins of the two-party system we currently have and the history of third parties winning the presidential election.

              Voting third party gives more power for the former president to win. I am not taking that chance. I think we have a better chance at working with the current administration to intervene positively after the election. If the orange menace gets in he will likely take the Israel/Palestine war to new levels.

          You go where your enemy is hiding. The glorious freedom fighters of Hamas, who have been holding an infant captive for half a year now, use the civilian population that they’re supposed to protect as human shields, slave labor, and conscripts.

          Ah yes Schrodinger’s protest. It is at once not a big deal and at the same time a big deal that will cause change.

          Hey just curious, when you were being taught in school to raise awareness did they maybe mention something about how the process of abstraction works? No? Ok, guess it is my job. A =/ B, just because A does not equal B does not mean have nothing in common.

          Edit: never mind, just noticed you are using an alt-account. Makes sense now.

              Again.

              Both acts are punishing a civilian population for the actions of their government. That doesn’t mean they are morally or on the same scale equivalent, it does mean they are examples of the same kind of behavior.
