An ultra far right fascist party, and a more moderate right wing party. Both *100%* subordinated to wealth & power.

Where was God when one million Jewish children were murdered by Nazis? Israelis doing the same thing to Palestinians as Nazis and crusaders did to them.

Eighty five years ago today was the first incident in Germany that started the Nazi genocide of the Jews, Nazis went to their places of worship, houses and businesses and burned or destroyed them. Eighty five years to the day. Now on this day we see that the victims have become the victimizer in the worse way. Their victimization has not softened their hearts but have only caused them to become oppressors of another people. If you consider the number of children that have been slaughtered in Gaza and scale that to the American population , then it's 230,000 American children that would have been killed. Let that sink in.

There are great videos on YT of some of your veterans throwing away their medals and making their statements as to why. I hope this continues to be a great awakening for Americans, because your governments couldn't have been the incredible tyrants they've been without all the American citizens who were willing to kill people for them.

The Syrian war was not televised in real time and not that widely viraled in the internet. It started perhaps near 2011 and more than 10 years. In the Israeli Hamas war it's already more than 10000 deaths in approximately ONLY one month and about half are children. Even the Israeli army estimated the death to be 20000. Other than killing by bombing, they can also be killed by spread of disease, injury, lack of medical supplies , die from starvation and thirst. So are you going to do nothing and wait till one year where more 100000 may die?

You know, that is a great question, I was actually in Prague, Czhec Republic in December 2012, speaking with the Syrian owner of a hostel I was staying in, and at that time, the deaths were still only approximately 20,000, but it was galling to me even then what was happening in Syria. I engaged in dialogue with the Syrian gentleman about my shock about the deaths occurring in his country, and he really didn't have a solution to the situation as it was Western powers attempting to oust Bashar using "groups like HAMAS" that the U.S. funded, armed, etc. but "don't" consider terrorists when the US is attempting to use them to ouster a democratically elected leader such as Bashar. The staging ground in Syria also had Russia, which made it akin to the 1980s conflict in Afghanistan wherein the US FUNDED the Taliban to try to use as a proxy war against Russia, the same occurred in Syria, so I believe the reason you didn't have similar outrage, are multi-pronged reasons, but it did take me aback 11 years ago when the Syrian gentleman wasn't as shocked and outraged as myself about all the deaths even at that time, which were only a fraction of what eventually was akin to colossal loss of life in the hundreds of thousands.

When you say "opposition" groups, although SOME may have been authentic, MANY were extremist groups aligned with those such as ISIS, Al Qaeda, who were funded and supported by the US because they wanted Bashar gone, wanted to eliminate Russia's influence, and anytime the US is involved in proxy wars, it is very muddled in regard to who's who, the ONLY guarantee such as in Afghanistan, Ukraine, Iraq, North and South Korea, Vietnam is that millions of innocent men, women, and children will die, and the US could give two fucks as long as their geopolitical interests are met. The US is the true purveyor of terror, violence, and evil in the world.

I imagine some americans who bought into the Obama "Hope and Change" campaign (or were convinced ) are having a hard time discovering the true values of Democrats. Discovering they've been supporting right-wing politics will have an interesting ripple effect, especially because older white americans are listened to more and receive more privilege to voice and platform. I'm interested to see the emotional periods or how older people choose to deal with these changes (if at all, I'm sure a large portion will be fed consumer information that perfectly insulates them if they look for it). If they will run to get diagnosed by a professional, thinking "they" are the problem, instead of facing the truth, or if drug and alcohol rates continue to climb, for instance.
