They reserve the right to make fun of German, as does everyone else who got to shoot at Nazis in 45.

Of course if you take up a personal interest, sure you could become invested in politics as you could with any other topic or fascination. But this person in the post is clearly shown to not have any sort of curiosity or interest in that way. Taking up an interest in politics isn't the same as with sport or art, it's something that shapes your day to day life at all times.

The way I see it, interest in politics is similar to interest in one's personal health. Most people don't take a very active interest in it, happy to not think about it so long as there isn't any trouble, while others find it gratifying to do so, and take a more proactive action in learning, improving and teaching others about it.

But for that large number who don't care, they won't want to alter their lifestyle to take up the advice of others who know better. All that is until suddenly they're met with the result of their inaction and inattention, which is when they are easiest to convince.

One only remains apolitical so long as their lives aren't severely affected by the system. Because as long as they think it works well enough for them, they have no incentive to care about it. But as soon as they end up at the wrong end of the scales, that's when they start to look for answers. As a responsible socialist the best you can do is be there when they end up in that situation, and show them the right path.

I've had many "apolitical" friends end up turning to reactionary or fascist ideas once life hits them hard, and I regret that I didn't do a good enough job noticing this or presenting the correct ideas to them on time.

It was more than likely made to comment on the killing and subsequent funeral attack on Palestinian journalist Shireen Abu Akleh in 2022 by the Israeli occupation.

I used to at the previous town I lived in, around 15 minute commute overall. On good days its very pleasant. But when it rains you'll start wishing you were dead.

I saw that apparently they had him speak right before JB Pritzker. Which has to have been some sort of deliberate humiliation ritual.

Sanders was up there talking about how they needed to get rid of big money in politics, and the guy who speaks right after him is bragging and saying "I'm a real billionaire, unlike Trump" then getting a massive round of cheers.

Their journalism is a byproduct of being forced into a corner for the better part of the past decade or so by Saudi Arabia and other gulf states hostility towards Qatar for pipeline related reasons. It became convenient for them to speak out against the west and the regimes they backed in the region. Saudi Arabia did eventually reproach with Qatar but Al-Jazeera has maintained their reporting stance despite this.

This has to be one of us, no way, lmao

Bingo

Look at who posted this, then you'll see why this is funny.

Great, now you've got me hoping theres a slim chance this is what my parents have been doing, and theres a chance of them not being irredeemable reactionaries.

You're probably right, but it still makes my blood boil seeing these US liberals being happy getting concessions for their own personal "liberties" and "rights" even if the cost is to enable genocide. They have got to be the most evil people on earth, because how tf is genocide not a red line to stop you from supporting someone?

They'll prattle on about "Trump has 69 felonies!!!!" as an excuse to condemn him but they're okay with GENOCIDE??
