Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.

Rules:

-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--

-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

What race? You don't even have the ability to race because you're sabotaging yourself at every opportunity like you're Dick Dastardly in Wacky Races. yamcha

The hearing before the committee chaired by Cruz, Commerce, Science, and Transportation, included the usual mishmash of parochial politics, lobbying for traditional space, back slapping, and fawning—at one point, Gold, a Star Trek fan, went so far as to assert that Cruz is the "Captain Kirk" of the US Senate.

What do you want us to do? We have had decades of mass protests and racism is worse, human rights violations are worse, and income equality is worse.

Sounds like completely ignorable protests are not an effective tool in this regard, and you should instead do something less ignorable.

They will just incarcerate everyone. Presently, they are deploying the military to the streets and basically causing martial law. A guy shot a CEO, nothing happened, and he is still in jail. What is the point? Americans have been complaining about Israel's aid since I can remember, and they still send taxpayers money there even as common people here struggle. That has been the case since I was a kid. This thing that happens that we hate is something that seems to never end. It is basically theft and extortion at this point.

Ok, so your claim is that doing anything is pointless, then, and nothing that you will do will make any difference.
And you tried to spin this as an argument for voting for the blue fascists.

A guy shot a CEO, nothing happened

A bunch of people started getting their insurance claims approved, so that's significantly more than what you were aiming for with voting for genocidal fascists.

Americans have been complaining about Israel's aid since I can remember

That's obviously not true. Even you complained about Hamas resisting genocide here, if I am not misremembering.

and they still send taxpayers money there even as common people here struggle.

Also, just going to mention that USians saying 'taxpayers money' is funny.

It is basically theft and extortion at this point.

Always has been.

Complained of Hamas resisting genocide? We have got a switched conversation somewhere. I guess we are not getting anywhere. All I can do is spread awareness of AIPAC on my end. This I will do.

Complained of Hamas resisting genocide?

This is what you said previously:

We can not be held responsible any more than Palestine kids can be held responsible for Hamas.

There, you equated Hamas resisting a genocide with your empire kidnapping, torturing and killing people in Chile via the puppet state headed by Pinochet.
