Gregory's Server@paulschoe @captainrob @ayoub exactly this - shouldn’t people vote for the person who will actually listen to protesters and other voices, rather than shoot at them?

@violetmadder @paulschoe @captainrob @ayoub You lost me in the last sentence-I will be brutally honest here: #Gaza and eradication of #Palestine is going on for 75 years-no pause,no end in between. It pains me to say,but some voices in this movement really appear to be using this suffering to ride the wave of antiestablishment. The bit about lesser or bigger evil is very outdated in the context of today,an especially in the context of US politics @ashtime @paulschoe @captainrob @ayoub Outdated?? What?? Yes, this has been going on for generations-- hell, centuries. Our sad parody of "democracy" was founded by genocidal slave owners, and until there's a whole new revolution of values-- globally-- the destruction and abuse won't stop. We had ALL better be riding an anti-establishment wave, and a damn big one, or climate disasters, rampant disease, and water wars will kill billions of us (with a B) by the end of this century. @violetmadder @paulschoe @captainrob @ayoub Yes, because there is no so called ‘establishment’ you have the extremely rich who are now actively supporting #fascist and everyone else. The establishment you are talking about is a theoretical fantasy from the 70s&80s that was a useful distraction, so we would not focus on inequality and corporate greed. Fight these 2 things and you solved all other problems. Democracy is not the problem here. @violetmadder @paulschoe @captainrob @ayoub Values have to be agreed upon or should be a culmination of societal processes-one that we all could agree is that genocide and wars shouldn’t be acceptable anymore. |

When the greater evil has been enabled and exploited to manufacture consent, there is no such thing as a "lesser" evil. It's ONE system, tag-teaming us with a calculated good cop / bad cop game.
Neither party will listen to protesters or stop the violence. Protesters have already been getting shot at-- "less lethal" munitions may result in fewer outright deaths, but it's a calculated choice to avoid the outrage. Mowing us down in the streets would make us angry, so they just patiently beat, torture, maim, and mutilate us instead so they can pretend they have some kind of moral high ground.
At Emory college the police beat an unconscious 65-year old history professor until they broke 9 of his ribs, almost killing him. At UCLA the police just stood around watching while a right-wing mob came in to attack the protesters for 3 hours.
We are being gaslit on a massive scale. ALL the politicians in high positions of power serve ecocidal, genocidal war profiteers. All of them are heartless liars.
