In roughly 30 years online, across a wide variety of communities on a wide variety of platforms, zero of them would have removed that comment as “trolling.”

Except .ml, apparently.

      No that’s just the normal progression of late stage Capitalism. You and the one I’m replying have just internalized the idea that who is the figurehead matters.

        I don’t disagree with you, however in the history of our alliance with Israel this is the most Palestinians killed with our weapons by a long shot.

        Biden is really trying to unseat GWB and trump for worst president in US history.

        The figurehead doesn’t matter much, but I highly doubt this level of death would of occurred under a president who wasn’t a demented Zionist.

          Ye, I don’t believe Trump wouldn’t have done the same, given his previous statements on the matter. But it’s ridiculous to theorize like this when we know the degradation of capitalism is inexorable and we know that Trump is an opportunist of the highest degree. I am not even convinced that this cease fire wouldn’t have happened without Trump, nor that it will last. This kind of bullshit praising the rapist fascist isn’t helping anything.

            It’s not even praising trump. The only thing that gives me hope about the cease fire is the amount of Muslim countries who signed on. I don’t think they’d be involved if they didn’t think it is genuine.

              I hold no faith. I think the USA and Israel wipe their ass with the opinions of Muslim countries (not to mention things like international courts) and will continue the genocide if they feel it benefits them. In fact, I’m pretty certain even all this, and the show of “political power” by trump is just political theater. The Israelis already got what they wanted (bulldozing Gaza), and now Trump gets to look strong. It feels to me this was all planned and there’s a lot of suckers, even in radical spaces apparently, falling for it.

                I’m taking the wait and see approach, trust me I’m pretty cynical and don’t trust any leader (hence anarchist). I’m hopeful about the Muslim countries signing on - why bother if they don’t think it’s legit?

                  Again, maybe it’s legit, but even if it is, I can’t shake the feeling that this is another “iran hostages” situation where Trump requested a delay to the cease fire so he can take the credit. It lines up way too fucking perfectly again.

                    Oh totally. But that also means that this entire time biden could of but didn’t stop the genocide. Supposedly trumps guy threatened israel. I’d love to know what the treat was. I’m betting no more blank checks.
