Re: Cause and effect. Objective or subjective?

So now Israel is Trump and the US is... Trump? Or Israel is the Oath Keepers and Proud Boys and the US is Trump?

This is all so stupid. We can actually use the words to say exactly what we want to say instead of silly analogies.

Re: Cause and effect. Objective or subjective?

No, Trump is the Ayatolla of the ultra right. Trump is a clown show, entertaining and distracting the rubes. He has no cause or code or ideology other than self-aggrandizement. If he didn't deliver to the real power in this country what they wanted, installing their hand picked ayatollahs onto the ...

Nah, I give Hamas agency for their actions. Because with or without Iran, there would be some form of armed resistance to the apartheid state Israel has constructed for everyone to be shocked and horrified by.
