Well, if that isn't freedom of speech, I don't know what is. So much freedom, it oozes oil.

How to hack your GDP while ordinary people suffer

  1. Private weapons manufacturers make more weapons than should ever be needed.

Why? Your country gained its wealth by becoming the world's largest weapons manufacturer, making it the greatest financial beneficiary of WW2. That manufacturing infrastructure didn't just disappear overnight.

  1. Large government subsidies to countries like Israel which aren't actually cash, rather they are purchases of these privately manufactured weapons using taxpayer dollars. These are given to Israel and other countries / entities in the world which perpetuate military conflict in order to keep feeding the machine.

There you have it. Production and consumption which keeps your GDP and GDP per capita growing without providing a meaningful benefit to humanity.

Can someone explain why Israel is so important to them? Aren’t these the same people who are antisemic? Additionally, how does supporting Israel make the us a Christian nation?

The American economy since WW2 has relied on funding and supplying armed conflict.

No other entity has supplied more justification for that end.

Money, grifting, racism, indoctrination, etc... All the usual reasons that people would support fascism.

Plus heretics preaching this garbage to several religions.

The courts won't enforce this right, because of freedom of speech, right?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 week ago

It's already law in a huge chunk of land controlled by the regime.

What goods or services does Israel provide that we're "boycotting "

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Apparently we import a ton of legislation.

Don't worry guys, this will surely create blowback next election and a liberal can be back in charge

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 week ago (3 children)

No no. The "liberal" won't be liberal enough. Gotta wait for the right type of liberal before we vote against Nazi.

It really is too early to be gritting my teeth man.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago

Maybe if they're alpha and lose their woke reputation they won't need those crazies who are demanding them to do something 'meaningful'

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Gotta wait for another nazi who's liberal enough.

Do y'all want genocide? Or do you want liberal genocide? Remember, if you don't vote for genocide, then the genocide is your fault.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 week ago
