    Ok so everyone is either a baying-for-blood imperialist liberal or a revolutionary communist. There are obviously more of the former, so let’s give up.

There’s no point trying to organize any people in a huge crowd spontaneously opposing the newest imperialist venture, because I am sure that every single one of them is a hardened DNC operative, at Bernie’s rally to perform a grand show of sheepdogging (which doesn’t actually happen, because there are no people who aren’t already either baying-for-blood imperialist liberals or revolutionary communists).

      Maybe I’m being too pessimistic and should be ignored, but I genuinely have no faith in such people. All the libs I know who are now anti-war and pro-Palestine were defending Biden before the last election and supported Kamala, defending her even when I tried telling them she should be publicly criticized for supporting Israel and openly talking about building a wall. There ARE people whose opinions are changing, but not only are they few, but honestly I genuinely believe many of them will simply snap back to their former views the moment a democrat wins.

      Maybe I’m being far too pessimistic, but I genuinely have no hope in these people or seeing America become better in my lifetime.
