Calling a spade a spade has never deterred Israel, the dark chapter of the holocaust has given Israel a get out card for every crime against humanity for decades. Add to that the insane American evangelical movement that pushes their rapture narrative in blind support to Israel means it's unlikely the Palastinian people will ever know peace and a homeland.
Ever since political correctness became a thing in the 80's limits on "free speech" have been placed to protect certain groups, and while many words we used back then are considered slurs today, and understandably so, I feel we've lost the way a bit. People taking offence at everything is a bit out of control. However, JD Vance et al seem more interested in being allowed to spread misinformation unchecked in the name of free speech, and that is something that should be a massive red flag.
Free speech is one thing, but there should be consequences when said free speech can incite or fuel negative steroetypes, violence or villification of certain groups.
You are of course correct, I meant corporate / political lobbies (looking at you AIPAC and big pharma, tobacco et al). I think the biggest issue of course is that major lobbyies are, as you stated, nothing but bribery. I remember in the early 90's when John Major was elected PM of England, he'd previously failed a bus conductors exam and worked as a bank teller, in the US, if you're not ultra rich it's practically impossible to make any headway in politics.
As a non American, but with friends and family there, I think you need civil war 2.0. I don't say this lightly as I grew up in a country ravaged by a civil war and subsequent wars. However, the left is trying to play by the rules while the Trump and his handlers are ripping up the rule book and seem to be unstopable. Maybe when the dust settles your constitution needs fixing, to keep lobbyists, billionaires and corporations out of politics.
And with the orange toddler in the white house still bleating on about taking Gaza, it's unlikely to stop anytime soon. Obligatory fuck Israel and their genocidal policies.
Unfortunately nothing changed, and Israel has doubled down. I genuinely wouldn't be surprised if Americans start to feel push back soon as well given Trump and Maga running towards fascism at break neck speed.
It's insane that I'm 99% sure this is sarcasm, but that 1% has a voice telling me I can't discount Maga being that stupid. This is the age we live in, incredible stupidity.
