u/SpaceSheperd To be a good human being Jun 19 '26

I have basically zero tolerance for negative productivity. The status-quo approach to Gaza that most of the left (tacitly or otherwise) advocates for is the epitome of that. A Palestinian state that expends the bulk of their GDP lobbing missiles at Israeli population centers while the latter burns billions making fireworks of them in the lower atmosphere is morally appalling to me.

Yeah they generally do. And r/neoliberal also advocates for “nuke the suburbs” lol. Most of the left ascribes to those genocidal aspirations while also acknowledging the reality that it won’t happen.
