You could get rid of both Biden and Trump, whoever replaced them would be beholden to the same imperial corporate interests and be just as vile with their policies.

You could do Putin or Zelenskyy in, and another capitalist oligarch would just take their places.

If Netanyahu disappeared tomorrow, Israel has plenty of genocidal politicians ready to fill his boots.

The real world isn’t a Marvel movie, there is no single “ultimate bad guy” to rally against. The entire systems of these places need to be overcome.

    Good post, I get worried hearing libs, or Israeli people, complain about Netenyahu; it’s a distraction from the root issue. Like Derek Chauvin being convicted, it’s good that he had some consequences but it legitimizes the system that enables the murder. Netenyahu gets ousted, new elections in Israel, and libs will say “look at that, he was bad and they kicked him out, Israel is a bastion of freedom and democracy!”

      All of Israeli society has been kinda gearing up to scapegoat Netanyahu the instant they decide that they’ve killed enough Palestinians and finished building their double border wall.
