    Look, I want to stop killing innocent civilians in Palestine too, but it doesn’t mean we need to forget everything else, especially marginalized people here in the US.

    Many of us can think about more than one thing at a time.

      Lol fuck yeah let’s give him another reason to ignore children being murdered indescriminately from the skies. They can wait a month while Biden hides behind our rainbow flag.

      I’m sick of the “we can do multiple things at once” rhetoric when so often we prove no, we fucking can’t. We forget the last TikTok we just watched but yeah, don’t worry Palestine we just need a month.

      Im not exactly excited to watch a man with no red line in sight hide behind the one on our flag.

          Yeah I have hard time feigning indifference to genocide so we can shove rainbow themed capitalism down everyone’s throats, sorry man.

            No apologies needed. You don’t mean it anyways. You’re just pretending anyone not actively engaged in your focus is against it. It’s a gaslighting tactic.

              Lol people still not knowing what the fuck gaslighting means. My original comment was that Biden would use this to distract from the shit everyone is mad at and you proved my point by letting him use the rainbow flag as a convenient distraction to hide from his fuck ups.

            I mean, you’ve only mentioned Palestine. You’re being indifferent to Russia’s attempted genocide of Ukraine, the genocide in Darfur, and the Uighur Genocide.

            Are you truly indifferent to them? Or are they just among the global issues you’re worried about?

            If you can only focus on one thing at once, how are you deciding on which genocide to focus on?

              Yeah it’s almost like my original comment was about how Biden was going to use pride month to hide from bad PR and he’s not getting bad PR from helping Ukraine is he? I know it’s hard to focus on the entire conversation, you keep getting distracted by the most recent post. Hence my point.

        The funny thing is this is not a new situation this has been happening continuously over all our lifespans not only in Palestine. And now it’s not even done directly by the US military which has been the case the last decades. Activism on all fronts always has to be the way to go.
