Pay attention to the language that will be used by much of the media.

The Global Sumud Flotilla never entered Israeli waters.

They are in international waters attempting to reach Palestinian waters.

Israel is once again breaking international law

I finished undergrad in 2020 and I thought finding a job then was the crappiest it could be but I was wrong finishing my Masters and trying to find a job in 2024/2025 is somehow worse.

Google rabbit hole here I come

Curious if there’s lit talking about the possible relationship between“Anglo Saxon whiteness vs ethnic whiteness” & religion bc WASPs who are generally considered the whitest of whites are mostly Protestant & Southern & Eastern Europeans are mostly Catholic & Orthodox

No not particularly

Which is pretty amazing considering our foreign policy was already terrible

It’s bizarre bc it was clearly a hyperbolic statement

Like the number of times I see or hear someone say some variation of “they’re both terrible and we’re all powerless!” is just…😳 if that’s the conclusion we’re never getting anywhere

imo the most egregious part of it is that the conclusions ppl draw from it are 1. Ppl in the US are powerless to apply pressure on the govt at any level 2. You cant judge anything China does bc the US is also horrible.
breeding both defeatism & a refusal to engage w/ the world outside the US
