This is why I struggled so hard to overcome the libbrained programming I was entrenched in. I couldn't fathom that the reality of the US and our history was so sinister.

It was scary to admit it to myself. On the other hand, once the dam broke it was gone for good.

Libs exist on the idea that there is an order and absolute state to the world, that a conflict is a "both sides" situation in which absolute monsters cannot, or very rarely exist. The truth however is that a state that has been drenched and fermented within a popular culture of ethnic superiority that dehumanizes enemies of the state very readily become monsters when the call is made.

Nazis deserved the pit and similarly so to do all who maintained the very fascist infrastructure of the IDF and it's continued genocide.
