but getting angry won’t get you anything

Being angry is a prerequisite to the things you listed, and also, you forgot the most important item: Organize. There's simply no way America gets a happy ending without a general strike, and the work to make that possible starts now, right this second.

I mean, democracies can commit all manners of atrocities too. Russia was a democracy when they invaded Chechnya if you remember that, and then you have all of Britain and France's wonderful escapades in Africa and the Middle East and America's wars over the past 70 years. Also I want to note that Israel has been like this since the very beginning.

I am increasingly finding it difficult to see how the Israeli colonial regime is any better than the russians (putin is a mere symptom of the broad support for genocidal imperialism in russian society)

It's not. The only reason Ukraine isn't like Gaza is that Ukraine has an army to protect it, and if Ukraine didn't have an army to protect it it'd be like Gaza. Russia and Israel are similar to a frankly kind of ridiculous degree.

The strat here is to simply not provide services to the israeli military. It's that simple; I mean it's literally the IDF nothing good could come out of helping them with anything.

What everyone with half a brain cell was saying would happen happened. Who woulda thunk?

Nope, he's just a neoliberal chasing after the center.

"Defend" their country you mean.

Sigh why do I even bother? Say hello to the concentration camps for me.

If you look back on your exchange with Gofer you'll find that you brought up a topic completely different from Gofer's point not once but twice. No matter your political beliefs, that's not good faith discussion. If anything it's the sort of thing we (as in everyone to the left of Reagan) make fun of when right wingers and tankies do it.

Eh, the world has a way of producing people like that when there's a niche for them (read: ignorant, bigoted and above all struggling people for them to exploit).

Lmao you have Trump because people listened to you and people like you. You probably know what I mean by that (hint: Screw liberals, go left) so I won't bother, but maybe try something different next time.

Dude, you know you've lost the plot when you're resorting to deflecting and whataboutism.

I love it. Go Houthis*!

Only applies to Israel-related activities.

And this is when we remind ourselves that the US hasn't fought an enemy that can shoot back with anything other than guns in decades. They have late-stage Israel syndrome.

I have better things to do in my life than continue this farce of a conversation, but god damn some of y'all really do deserve Trump.

40000 is the number of people directly killed (as in shot or or blown to bits) by the IDF who the Gaza Health Ministry physically counted. That's not an estimate, that's a number you then use to make an estimate, like this one. If you have a study counting indirect deaths and producing a number less than this, then let's see it, because otherwise this is a full six digits.

1.9 Million People live in the Gaza Strip, that's 10 digits. Large numbers of them were displaced but still remain in Gaza, somewhere from 6 to 7 digits dead or injured, that leaves 10 digits still in Gaza

Uh... What? 1.9 is 7 digits, of which there were conservatively estimated to be 6 digits of dead by mid-2024. By the most conservative estimate possible, more than 10% of Gazans were fucking dead by the time your dear Biden left office.

The Israelis and Trump's Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth are talking about pushing all of them permanently out of the region, future tense.

Yeah Biden leaned on Egypt and Jordan to accept exactly the same thing also in mid-2024 and was told to go fuck himself. For now Israel is blocking out all aid, which is the exact same thing it did at the start of the war under Biden.

What does that have to do with the Greens, NPD or Bloc though?

Do you have two or multiple parties in parliament?

They have two major parties and a whole bunch of minor ones. The Quebecoi Bloc is the biggest, but the New Democratic Party and Green Party also have some seats.

I was wondering whether a coalition government wouldn't be more advantageous.

It would be, but that's impossible under FPTP.

I mean it's natural to not want a conservative government, but why root for a liberal majority and not a liberal minority with progressive parties to provide the remaining seats?
