    Imagine if the IDF soldiers just stopped committing war crimes. Imagine if legacy media companies didn’t tie themselves in knots trying to protect and defend Israeli war criminals. This timeline needs more vigilantes since the corrupt systems only work to protect the ruling class, despite their crimes.

      Imagine if the US said no thanks Israel, stopped selling it arms, giving it hardworking american peoples taxes and put a stop to AIPACs political corruption

      I’m gonna go off on a bit of an unrelated rant here, but can we quit with the fucking “this timeline” shit, please? There is ONE timeline. You live in it. There wasn’t some Marvel movie multiverse bullshit where we suddenly shifted into some “dark” timeline. There is THIS ONE REALITY which has a past that we can learn from, and a future that we are responsible for.

      If you’re not going to do it, don’t expect anyone else to. Go be a hero or stop praying for miracles.

        I’m sure a supporter of vigilantism would also be looking for good opportunities to act as such.

          Have you seen Clerks? It’s an older Kevin Smith film and there’s a lot of memorable lines in it, one that’s stuck with me though is “shit or get off the pot”, also “salsa shark” but that’s unrelated as I’m not dipping tortilla chips right now.

          I’ve done and still do what I can activism wise, my gripe has been with people being ignorant to the devestating climate collapse and resource depletion in our near future, and trying to mitigate the suffering by warning people against having kids.

          I support activism and think if people have identified a ‘thing that needs to be done’ they should either do it, or stop endlessly talking about how someone else should.

        There has never in human history been a systemic change without violence. Every single shift in power away from the ruling class to the people has required bloodshed.

          This is just a blatant lie.

          You always see the biggest cowards advocating for violence from the their couch. Bunch of shit talkers who never walk the walk.
