It’s not just the stupid things he says but the arrogant way he says them. Like he is always the smartest guy in the room and he is just so pleased with himself.
It's shocking there's people (usually old people) who remember America as this great place, and yet people like him are allowed to be so horrible, openly, and enthusiastically. It's really just sad.
This is the Republican party now. Proud, out and out Nazis. Was a time you'd get a medal pinned on your chest for killing them. Now they're given a stage and a leader who has a solid chance of winning.
In this particular moment I would absolutely punch this misogynistic Nazi fascist right in his goddamned nose. It’s the only thing that he would understand l. Fucking might makes right? Well holy shit, Ben, goddamn would you look at that? The majority of the fucking world thinks you’re a goddamned shit stain they have to share a subway with. He’s a fucking joke. God fucking damn.
Right? Its like going to the circus and being surprised to see the clowns. The circus is a known clown area. This is where you find them. This is the source of clownery. Frankly if Shapiro said anything different, it would be like going to the circus and finding a symphony orchestra. THAT would be news worthy.
Well yeah, they hate both of them and get off on the fact they're killing one of the other.
You hate two people, one kills the other, that's great for you because now one is out of the way and the other is hated and you can basically have an excuse to, "retaliate".
I think he absolutely would if it became the conservatives' battle plan. The modern right wing has no principles and very clear goals to purge this country. He knows what kind of dragon he's sleeping under. He'd be the first to sell his soul and tell Hans Landa where the others are hiding.
Then you don't know him very well. He's never at any point backed down from defending Israel or Judaism.
While many right wingers have few to no principals, almost all of them have at least one or two, usually related to religion or racism or misogyny.
Ben's is absolutely religious and is completely mercenary in his support of the evangelical right. Like a lot of die-hard jewish zionists, they think they can use the evangelicals and get one over on them.
They support Israel unconditionally because they believe in the rapture. Israel being attacked is one of the things that has to happen in the lead-up to the rapture, and for that to happen, Israel must *exist.* This is why they demand unconditional support of Israel while also being raving-mad anti-semites.
Ah but they've got a terrorist organization run by foreign elements that are building rockets in hospital basements, and that prior to October 7 weren't really capable of doing much, therefore now that they actually did a thing, the entire country must be burned to the ground. Oh, and all the land that was burned to the ground is then given or sold to other israeli, of course, because there's no intent for there to be any Palestinians to return there.
They were capable of killing 1200 people, kidnapping 250, and raping countless others. Well I dont condone how far Isreal has gone, Palestine is not a blameless victim. If you were the leader of Israel, how would promise your people that they are safe and that kid of attack won't happen again?
We've lost more than that to School Shootings this year ALONE, Sex Trafficking kidnaps THOUSANDS of children, and Church, Youth Pastors, and POLICE have raped and sexually assaulted children FAR beyond those numbers in just people CAUGHT let alone how many might actually be occurring. And the rights stance? Part of life. No care, no action, so in our own backyard they won't ban guns, they won't censure Churches, and won't ensure protections for the public AGAINST the police... So in one part 1/?
of the world these crimes justify Genocide, but in our own country it isn't even enough to try to PREVENT it happening again? Kinda an odd dynamic by your logic minorities should be JUSTIFIABLY shooting up police stations, bombing cops homes, burning down churches with the congregations in attendance, it's justifiable, KILL THEM ALL so we can be safe, our CHILDREN can be safe. KILL all cops, kill their families burn their homes down and give their property away. You hear how FUCKING CRAZY 2/?
that sounds? A measured response, you find those responsible and punish them by LAW. Not attack indiscriminately and say it's for 'protection' it's NOT justifiable in ANY Capacity. It's fearmongering and Genocide, NOTHING more. 3/3
where in anything that I wrote did you pull out any of that? I think you are protecting just a bit. I am a Democrat, I appore violence,I am in no way trying to defend the IDF. I just don't care for the amount of people that blanket love Palestinr simply because it has become a political divide and if you don't love Palestine then you must be a right wing gun loving Zionist. I am only trying to remind people that there are innocent civilians in Israel as well. 1/2
Between Jan 1st 2023 and Oct 6th 2023, Israeli soldiers had murdered over 3000 Palestinian civilians for the crime of being Palestinian, and had kidnapped over 8000 women and children - who are being held in the kind of conditions that would make the SS uncomfortable - where they are subject to starvation, torture and sexual assault daily. How do you suggest that the imprisoned, besieged and oppressed Palestinians respond to that?
Modern Israel exists because Zionists murdered, stole and raped. You don't get to pretend like the citizens are guilty for a terrorist cell that only formed because of Israel's war crimes and funding. If you are a leader of Israel it's probably about time to acknowledge that your country exists because of land theft and that Israel can't keep engaging in acts of genocide. If you want to promise your people peace you have to work towards peace and maybe that should include giving back stolen land
By "They," you understand you're talking about the Civilians, right? The Non-Combatants? The Children and Relief workers and Doctors and other human beings trying to just survive there? These people, in your eyes, just by being there, are "Not Blameless Victims?" Because that's just... just a hell of an admission of your baked-in biases, man.
Problem with terrorists groups is they hide among the civilians. They don't ware uniforms. Yes children, doctors, any easily identifiable non-combatant that are harmed should have justice, but it's not that simple. Hamas has stated that they will not back down. Israel can stop all fighting, and Hamas will continue. How do you protect yourself?
Maybe by giving survivors, if any, some indication that you’re not just murdering their kids to be an asshole. If you fuck up the genocide, you’re really just building future terrorists. In case you haven’t heard the term recently, look up blood feud.
Step 1: Stop intentionally radicalizing the populous, and perhaps even try *de*radicalization. This includes things like: Not murdering random civilians. Not murdering 3rd party aid workers. Not torturing, raping, and murdering your prisoners. Not bulldozing buildings with people in side of them. Not filling wells with concrete. Not telling people a zone is safe and then bombing it. Not forcing people off their land so you can settle it. Not intentionally funding the radicals you're fighting.
Buddy, are the terrorists in the room with you right now? Have they disguised themselves as your family and friends? Are you going to "Protect Yourself" the same way the IDF keeps itself safe from schoolteachers and nurses? Of course not. Leave the delusion, rejoin planet Earth, take a breath, and understand what horror you're defending. Because this nihilistic, blood-thirsty paranoia does more to threaten public safety than any goddam schoolchild ever might, even in the most paranoid fantasies.
I said I was not defending Israel but you keep on defending a terrorist organization that has murdered, raped, and tortured thousands of civilians because you where told it is the left thing to do.
