things have obviously popped off this week geopolitically so i’ve been pretty busy trying to bail some people out of very bad decision-making. this has gone mixed to say the least; anyways a lot of people gotta shut the fuck up about geopolitics because there have been 80 unnecessary trillion bad takes this week
I’m disheartened. As a Jordanian/Palestinian/American, it’s hard to live in a country where the government and the general populace openly and unabashedly wants you and your whole family to die. Seeing people justify the atrocities committed by the Israeli government and military is just disappointing more than anything.
I really do love America, and I don’t take for granted how lucky my family has been to even have the opportunity to migrate here (I know plenty of people who would do anything to live here!) But it hurts when America doesn’t love you back.
It strongly reminds me of the bloodlust people had the days and weeks after 9/11. And I lived in NY at that time.
It truly opened my eyes how people with shit intent can easily take advantage of that sentiment to do evil shit and we’re def. Seeing that again.
I can’t imagine. My therapist “both sided” the topic when it came up briefly. He’s a smart man. America knows propaganda.
