    In USA the word revolution must be banned, because people won’t do anything with a pedophile president.

    Remember also that Trump, The President of the United States, yelled back “FUCK YOU!”, and walked away, apparently hitting a nerve. He’s probably not capable of true guilt, but he can definitely feel shame.

    How many people can actually say they made the fucking President say “fuck you”? A national hero.

      Since it’s Trump, probably more than you think.

    Reminds me of this one, and how in the US you can lose your job in academia (and many other sectors) for supporting the BDS movement to boycott Israeli goods:

      Lmao, I’m taking a Europe after 1919 history course at a notoriously conservative college and it is a struggle to not be openly vitriolic towards the imperialist bloc.

      “It’s bad to support smothering orphans” what country does this guy live in
      The Saudi, UAE and (to a lesser extent) Egyptian (edit: governments) are all for whatever Israel does. It’s more complicated in other countries because the people are against it but the government isn’t, so you have to be against Israel just enough to please the people but not too much that you displease the government ❤️

        So to you Arab countries are places where the government and the people are the same, even though you recognize other countries aren’t like that? The vast majority of Muslims are pro Palestine and would be offended by you insinuating that they support Israel just because their shitty governments do.

          Also, it’s funny to even imply that most of those governments are completely sovereign entities who are there due to any kind of organic process, rather than deformed wrecks resulting from massive outside pressure (almost all by the US empire and its allies).

          Of course I’m not assuming anyone supports Israel or that the people and government are the same
          This rant was purely against governments, sorry if I worded it wrong

            Very bad wording, it makes it seem like you’re accusing the Saudi, uea, and Egyptian people of doing so

            What did you mean by the bolded section if not “it’s not complicated in Saudi Arabia, UAE, and Egypt because the people and the government support it”? I don’t mean to be confrontational here, but I don’t see how else that sentence can be interpreted.

              Other countries the people are against the genocide but the governments aren’t really (some may at least “condemn” Israel for their public image)

      • There is an extremely limited number of arabs that are even close to tolerant of the genocide being committed, and those people are either rich or government officials. Almost every arab I know would spit in a person’s face if they found out they were even remotely pro-Israel.

        I may be biased in this view point given that I am Palestinian, but I have never had to distance someone for their point of view so I’d say that what I said still stands.
