Shared by George Takei today on Mastodon.
Full of gems like: “Don’t dismiss their anger and pain. For people who consider themselves progressive, the war in Gaza with its high civilian casualties can create a strong sense of turmoil, disillusionment, frustration, and even stronger emotions like fury and disgust.”
How to know if you’re progressive?
- Does the
genocidehigh civilian casualties of brown people frustrate or disgust you?
Here’s the article if you want to lose some brain cells https://thinkbigpicture.substack.com/p/biden-gaza-israel-2024-election
I seriously want somebody to ask a notable super-lib like Takei - how much suffering and genocide would it take for you to stop supporting Biden. 75,000 dead - plus a corresponding number of injured and missing which means probably dead? If not that then 100,000+? 125,00+? 150,000+?
So it’s okay when Israel does it George? https://www.topshelfcomix.com/mobile/catalog/george-takei-they-called-us-enemy/1011
Or cause it’s not happening to you directly…
listen fat, the only thing that can stop a bad guy doing a genocide is a good guy doing a genocide
But this rarely works because 1) in their mind, nothing could be more evil or harmful than genocide
How can someone possibly write this and not second guess themself? Yes, genocide is indeed pretty much the most evil thing.
