In a trans Discord I’m in, someone called Biden “Genocide Joe” and two people were like, “He hasn’t done anything genocidal, what are you talking about?” and it turned out they legitimately did not know what it was about and they had heard vaguely about Palestine and considered Israel the aggressor but had no idea what Biden’s stance on it was or that the US was involved in supplying them with weapons or money.
After October? What happened in October?
He’s giving them actual monetary aid? Wtf? Okay, that’s worse than I thought. I thought it was just a political alignment thing, like saying “we support you”. But if he’s funneling millions of actual money into there, ‘genocidal’ isn’t even an exaggeration!
Agreed, I didn’t touch on why, more so just what. Definitely being facetious with my assessment, but I do stand by what I said. It’s depressing and stressful to acknowledge the reality of the sociopolitical climate, most people steer clear and just try to enjoy the good parts of their lives.

Probably a bit of a reduction, I think a lot of people don’t like to think about politics because it’s pretty stressful
