Look if we survive Trump presidential elections are now open to any celebrity or ex convict, the precedent has been set.

Which is why the whole thing is so stupid and confusing.

I mean thatβs basically just X now.

You want to associate your group with groups and struggles that are morally good and you want to associate your enemies group with groups and struggles that are morally bad.
They need to be clearly defined.
Trumps whole thing is he knows how to get the fast passes, but heβs not arguing to get rid of them he thinks we need more.

And people keep getting in there and making it bad on purpose so youβre forced to buy the fast pass.
Look in America the state canβt legally come out and say your subhuman directly but they can bury you in paper work and send you down endless bureaucratic dead ends while all the preferred folks get the fast pass.

That will get you close to whoβs at the bottom here.
Or Illegal immigrants living in the U.S. being the same as Israeli settlers. A take Iβve seen in the wild.
Not everything is the same as every thing and if you think itβs similar you need to articulate it.
And the extreme flip side of that is when the sympathy becomes a sort of cultural appropriation.
See* Israelis comparing their claim to the land as the same as Native Americans right to land in the U.S.
This isnβt a fault as much as I think itβs a feature of being Human but it does seem like a common way Americans sympathize with Palestinians is in relation to their own experiences of subjugation.
Which overall I think is good.
But also remember there situation is orders of magnitudes worse.
Ironically I think it would be actually meta if they were making some kind of point, but I donβt think they are.

Theyβre just picking people by their stupid names at this point.
They think nomitive determinism is real science and not just a lowkey way to do nepotism.
