I love examples of why it’s wrong to equate the actions of a faction with the whole people. Israelis are not Netanyahu, Palestinians are not Hamas, Russians are not Putin, and Americans are not Trump. We can argue about culpability of citizens in the actions of their leaders, much as we can argue whether a person’s parents are responsible for their behavior, but whether they’re effective or not these protestors, and people like them, restore some of my faith in humanity.
It’s always the young adults who are fighting against the evils of the old leaders, isn’t it? I’m telling you, the world needs Carousel.

Yeah I mean Bibi has been known to be a fascist for a long time.
Netanyahu is more or less the Jewish version of Trump.
He’s Jewish Dick Cheney. Netanyahu is a monster but he has the ability to be good at things. No one can match Trump’s absolutely unique blend of being bad and wrong at every single thing individually, each to a literally unbelievable degree. It’s like good music. It has to come straight from the heart.
The basis for my comparison includes his multiple indictments, court rigging, and clinging to power to avoid any consequences – all so very Trump-like.
I’m sure that’ll work. Nothing puts fear in the heart of rich politicians more than peaceful protesters making demands.
Sure, they demand change. And I would like to see a flying pig with purple and gold spots. We can all soothe ourselves with magical thinking that, somehow, all of a sudden, people will become humane, smart, caring and worthwhile.
I’ve been alive 7 decades and have seen 7 decades of war in the mid-East, of people hating police, of police brutality, of crime, of degeneracy, of hyped-up shit-brained plutocrats thinking they are the saviors of mankind, of protests, and hate and war mongering and sickness.
Nothing will change. The only outcome, to any of this, under any circumstances, is an all-out nuclear war, which if we are lucky will come sooner than later. Sweet oblivion. Total eradication of human filth - that is the only possible and hopeful course for the future of this planet.
