    It makes sense that in the country were Death Penalty is considered less morally wrong than Viewing Pornography or Homosexuality, most people support (or at least don’t care about) Israel mass murdering children for the “crime” of being born Palestinian.

    That moral priority alone says that for most Americans, life is less sacred than what people do with their sexy bits alone or with consenting adults.

    No wonder America keeps making war and killing millions.

        Prudism by itself whilst bad isn’t all that bad.

        No, the Evil part is the Love For Ending The Life Of Other People.

        Prudism alongside this is just hypocrisy - after all, unless one is reading a very, very special Bible, Christ said “Turn the other cheek”, not “Hang them by their neck until they’re dead”.

          yeah prudism is that bad. its not as if these people are content to be uncomfortable with sex in their own life and leave it at that, they have to force their beliefs on everyone else too. no one has any right to control the consensual relationships of anyone else, but these cunts feel like they do.

      Most nuanced take, clearly based upon a deep understanding of American culture and politics. We are all just bad people who love war and genocide. There isn’t one party that gave all the power to check the president away and let him do whatever he wants, and there aren’t protests with millions of people regularly happening because we all love it.

        Spare me the “American-style simpleton-politics for people who have no clue how real Democracy looks like” bullshit - the last guy which was of the “other side” in your hyper-reductive 2D fake-democracy theater system was sending 2000 lb bombs (which the American Military itself won’t use because of their high collateral damage) to Israel to blow up high density neighborhoods of residential apartment buildings with.

        There were no big demonstrations against it.

        Same thing back when Obama was blowing up weddings and killed so many innocents that he changed the definition of “enemy” to be any male between the ages of 14 and 60 so that the numbers didn’t look so bad.

        There were no big demonstrations against it either. Hell, plenty of American mindless tribalist followers of that “side” of America’s Theatrical “Democracy” still laud Obama as a great man and a great president.

        The reason why there are big demonstrations against the current one is that he’s doing in America the shit that the others mainly did or supported abroad, so now people who weren’t suffering when Biden’s 2000lb bombs were hitting Hospitals in Gaza and Obama’s drones were blowing up families attending weddings, are suffering, so its only now that they demonstrate,

        Little brown kids being mass murdered was fine for most Americans as long as they themselves were ok.

        America is a country were “I’m alright Jack” is the most important “Moral” “compass” for most people, possibly one of the worst in that regard.

        Last I checked Ds and Rs support Israeli genocide. Or if its too recent for you just rewind and you will find obama droning down whole wedding parties because someone didnt support US hegemony (aka was a “terrorist”). Of course Bush committed war crimes all throughout the Middle East too. Voting Blue harder isn’t going to fix your problems
