hey, remember when right wing leaders controlled our military and were honestly debating on the value of torture after 9/11.


Pretty cool that we were able to have a national discussion about that.

but maybe we should take that as a red flag that right wingers should never hold military power ever again at that point.

Israel is not a viable state BECAUSE we aren't allowing them to experience consequences.

  Israel's first instinct after october 7th for months was to mass murder children and women until the world was like "yo, not cool" Israel is not electing people who are capable of rational decision making, and part of that is because America and the West is shielding them from any and all consequences for their actions. Allowing AIPAC to attack, silence, bully, and undermine American democracy is weakening Israel because Israel knows it has no right to exist fundamentally. a "right to exist" is a ridiculous notion to begin with. The west believing it has any right to enable an ethnostate with overt and unambiguous goals of genocide is absolute absurdity. Israel as a concept can exist, Israel as a Zionist utopia has no right to exist.

Control, love, and choices

There are physical rules of the universe, we have to eat or we die. We get to make up a lot of things, like WHAT we eat. There are consequences for what we eat, and that is part of the

Rando Ass Thot

  Right wingers might not all be racists, but ultimately they all tolerate racism as a tool. Their identity seems to hinge on "things running smoothly is what I care about." Hence their devotion to what they imagine to be strong leaders. They intrinsically trust the system because the system has never specifically targeted them for exclusion or abuse. Which is why they refuse to acknowledge it has ever been used to abuse others. They, intentionally or unwttingly, see racism as an affirmation that they aren't going to be the target that those seeking power in a democracy need to gain influence. Which explains their mistrust of democracy and leaning towards fascism. If they elect a bigoted leader, like Trump or DeSantis, then the bigoted leader will focus their attention on the scapegoat they campaigned on and not anything that might actually impact them or their business.
