    Israel: “and?”

    Whenever the liberals and leftists of the world figure out thst “gotchyas” aren’t winning anything is the day we actually stand up and do something.

    Greta goes home, everyone in Israel sighs and goes back to killing Palestinians.

    Liberals: “maybe we didn’t send the right celebrity? Anyone got Natalie Portman’s number?”

      Ugh. Yes. The gotchas are totally a pacifier.

      “Hmm, nice genocide. Unfortunately for you I found this Twitter post you made ten years ago which proves you are acting hypocritically. Another victory for my cause!”

      Like…you have achieved nothing by identifying and publicizing these hypocrisies. Only very logical people care about hypocrisy. Most people just want what they want, and will pick up any reason for it as long as it comforts them, then discard that reason and replace it with a mutually exclusive one later as needed. The only people that care about hypocrisy are logical, and as a general rule, the logical people already agree with you.

      well if they didn’t feel guilty about genocide and starving people, surely they’ll feel guilty if we put a celebrity on a boat.

        Looking for an opening?

        No, they aren’t the same, but a lot of their efforts are similar and they populate the same areas of the internet and political spheres. There are a few leftists sitting behind liberal desks. AOC is one of them.
