    It’s not like the Pepsi party will suddenly fund Palestine’s case in the ICC or work towards an independent Palestinian state either, will it? There have been numerous Pepsi governments since 1948, and things have progressively gotten worse for Palestinians.

    The slightly less evil appearance of the progressive neoliberals only obfiscates the overall evil of the ideology. And because Trump does no such thing, we get to witness neoliberalism as it is, and that is refreshing and gives us more clarity on what is right and wrong.

      Zizek has an anecdote about authoritarian parent and less authoritarian parent that applies here, and I agree with him fully now.

      I don’t care about clarity, I care about lives! If one more Palestinian child starves to death under Trump than would under Biden, then I prefer Biden! Slightly less evil? Slightly less dead children? Yes please! Because the alternative is doing nothing; sitting in our rooms and posting about how sad it is that these children are dying. I prefer voting to doing nothing. I prefer protesting to doing nothing. I prefer giving mutual aid to doing nothing.

        As we can clearly already see none of your voting is doing anything. AIPAC and Coke and Pepsi run your country.

        Please stay out of everyone else’s business and we won’t bother about what happens in your country. No more coups, no more aids,no more wars, no more techno feudalism. We can figure out our shit much better without you lot.

          AIPAC is an American organisation. While I’m sure the billionaires funding it have plenty of influence over here, AIPAC itself doesn’t.

          You are as mistaken about My nationality as you are about the damage Trump has been doing to My country and every other country, many much worse than Mine.

            Sorry, i didnt make myself clear, I am not scared of your retarded backward ass politicians. We can deal with them. Iran has shown this.We can deal with the fallout too. Civilisation will go on muich better without the US interference.

            And I want to be exposed as little as possible to american politics reality TV, so i might not have the details right 100%, but i know your government is just a bunch of corporations and lobbyists in a trench coat, and I don’t want their slimy hands anywhere near my government.

              You just assumed i don’t vote because I think Pepsi and Coke are both equally shit? Are you some kind of politics TERF who assumes people’s voting choices?
