Let’s do a thought experiment.
Imagine you’re back on your childhood and have these two friends who have been your best friends forever dating all the way back since the last winter, and nobody could ever replace them …at least until the summer.
One believes Barbie is the shit, the other is stuck in Hello Kitty. You’re done with that and already had your first gang banged pregnancy scare from the Polo team.
Each friend argues for the other to abandon their fanatism of their chosen brands of brainwash, or else they’re gonna kill each other. There’s no room for the other’s plastic beliefs.
One day the bickering between your stupid friends escalates to the point one is throwing rocks at the other in the head, leading to bleeding and early onset alopecia, while the other went low, and pulled hair from other regions, and let’s just say they won’t be needing a bikini wax… maybe ever.
You sit with both friends and hear their ridiculous arguments, they make no sense to you because they’re batshit crazy but you understand where each is coming from thus you understand it’s an irreconcilable difference, and understand that they’ll never see eye to eye, and much less they’ll see eye to that third eye on that slithering appendage you’ve grown so fond of.
So after another round with your spiritual councilor… and three other councilors now from the football team, calling for god, at last you finally have your cum to Jesus moment, and decide to intervene: you enlist your mom to go talk to them.
You tell you mom to make them see that both Barbie and Hello Kitty can’t hold a candle to the candle stick you succumb to your knees to prey on— I mean pray to.
But what exactly do you tell your mom? To force them to abandon their stupid ideas and make them super sluts, believing in only the almighty dick that moves thee world? Or at the very least moves so many right-wing-family-values-down-low congressmen, or senators, and of course moves you up and down on it. While I do think your idea is better, and I applaud your conviction; maybe they won’t be as well-receiving as you have been to men when you try to force your own thing onto them.
Wouldn’t you agree that the inability to compromise of each side and forcing their belief system onto the other is what got them into this mess in the first place? And now you’re trying make your mom meddle when it’s not her fucking place to do so.
Right? You must be able to understand this very basic logic.
Now, replace the friend that loves Hello Kitty for Gaza, and the other bitch for Israel. You are the protesters in the US trying to make the government (your mom) go fucking meddle. The rocks are the missiles, the pussy punches are the underground tunnels.
What’s the goal? What do you expect to happen? Religious people believe for real in ghosts. As it is, they’re unreasonable, but it gets “better”.
Religions generally are authoritarian hierarchies, have a fixed perspective, they rule with fear, they are violent, intolerant, misogynists, they shame people and isolate them which leads to exile, suicide, etc. They waste people’s time, strip their rights, or in some places strip people out of their living breaths. And that’s on secular industrialized nations. Can you even begin to imagine what it would be like in a piece of land that’s not considered a country by anyone, with murderous leaders in one side, and a criminal leader trying to get a superhero moment on the other; so hopefully his pending trial is forgotten.
When I was watching students protest on the news earlier today I was dumbfounded, or rather founded many dumb on screen… whatever. Don’t you have something better to do than force your leaders intervene where it’s none or their fucking business? What do you think it’s going to happen.
You have a aspiring self-obsessed dictator who also happens to be a serial rapist and serial liar. Proven to cheat whenever he get the change serial lying rapist running for president and your giving talking points to the crazy party with this stupidity.
If you want to help, don’t try to impose your will by walking around outside on campus and call yourself an activist. Get on a fucking plane and go fight the fight if you truly mean it. Otherwise just go back to class or to Tik Tok to finish training the AI that will replace you.
