Edit - I don’t remember where I read/heard it, but I remember very early on someone said that liberals will one day turn on Israel but it’ll be after a certain number of people begin dying - 5k, 10k, 30k, 50k. I wish I could find it.
That perfectly encapsulated the liberal mindset. They won’t stand with us before the atrocity begins, when we are saying this will happen - only when it’s already happening and their conscience gets in the way. (I’m talking about the people, not the ones in charge - the latter know perfectly well what they’re doing, of course).
It’s just endlessly frustrating, because the same thing happens over and over again.
So why is it Palestine in the one geopolitical issue turbo-Libs seem to be allowed to have decent takes on?
Because it’s so undeniably horrible and in the open , that most well-meaning turbolibs cannot brunch over the sound of the atrocities being committed, unlike every other issue they claim to care about, but have the worst takes on.
Yeah but I think guys like Oliver have handlers, as in a literally think he gets emails from a State Dept guy weekly. It’s weird he’s letting John have okayish takes, unless its like a “limited hangout” thing where the ghouls recognize they need to let their left-of-center assets have okay takes on Palestine to preserve their legitimacy.
