Let's bring this back.

I know I'm not the only one worried about how bad this is gonna get. I'm in the USA. I'm in a country with some power. And I know for a fact that the US government will use that power to commit war crimes for profit.

And obviously they don't care if we disagree with them about it. They clearly would go through great lengths to commit war crimes with enough profit motive.

So Americans, we need to help make that profit a negative number. We need to make the idea of going to war and funding this genocide the worst financial decision in history. We need to make sure that not only the Biden admin, but even incoming candidates believe that supporting Israel or war would be the biggest American Presidential Fuckup in history

You know, like that time we sent troops to Vietnam despite massive protests and then the US responded by failing it's singular goal to stop the spread of communism so the only results were ashamed troops, death, and debt?

We need to make this as bad as that was. For the record, the legacy of that failure is still an American embarrassment on a global stage. The president who started the war, LBJ, was also a democrat, btw. In fact, it was a guerilla war that time too. The Vietnamese military didn't fight too different from the way we hear about Hamas. "Like ghosts." We just aren't in a jungle this time.

It will be impossible for journalists and reporters to look at solidarity rallies, war protests, demands to defund the military, boycotts, and spin genocide and war and death as a necessary evil for American safety or something Americans want.

Look at these crowds. Look at the songs artists were releasing.

Bring this back.

Remember governments serve their people, not the other way around. If the government would rather serve Israel than us, then that's all the more reason to challenge it.
