Wow, things sure are great for Palestinians and Ukrainians ever since Trump was elected!

[-] Saarth@lemmy.world 2 points 4 hours ago

Things seem to be bad for them regardless of whether Pepsi or Coke run USA.

[-] Grail@multiverse.soulism.net 2 points 3 hours ago

Well, things aren't always as they seem. Trump may seem like a populist who "tells it like it is" and wants peace for Palestine, but he's not!

https://www.thejc.com/news/usa/trump-administration-bars-palestinian-authority-president-un-general-assembly-ano3fdsm

The Trump administration has denied Palestinian Authority (PA) President Mahmoud Abbas permission to enter the US, where he was set to attend the upcoming annual UN General Assembly in New York City.

https://www.state.gov/releases/office-of-the-spokesman/2025/08/trump-administration-reaffirms-commitment-to-not-reward-terrorism-and-revokes-visas-of-palestinian-officials-ahead-of-unga/

In accordance with U.S. law, Secretary of State Marco Rubio is denying and revoking visas from members of the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) and the Palestinian Authority (PA) ahead of the upcoming United Nations General Assembly. The Trump Administration has been clear: it is in our national security interests to hold the PLO and PA accountable for not complying with their commitments, and for undermining the prospects for peace.

Before the PLO and PA can be considered partners for peace, they must consistently repudiate terrorism — including the October 7 massacre — and end incitement to terrorism in education, as required by U.S. law and as promised by the PLO. The PA must also end its attempts to bypass negotiations through international lawfare campaigns, including appeals to the ICC and ICJ, and efforts to secure the unilateral recognition of a conjectural Palestinian state. Both steps materially contributed to Hamas’s refusal to release its hostages, and to the breakdown of the Gaza ceasefire talks.

Translation: The Trump admin wants Palestine to stop suing Israel for genocide at the ICC, or they won't let diplomats come to the UN meetings. These people hate Palestinians and are sabotaging peace talks.

You need to care more about Palestinian lives.

It's not like the Pepsi party will suddenly fund Palestine's case in the ICC or work towards an independent Palestinian state either, will it? There have been numerous Pepsi governments since 1948, and things have progressively gotten worse for Palestinians.

The slightly less evil appearance of the progressive neoliberals only obfiscates the overall evil of the ideology. And because Trump does no such thing, we get to witness neoliberalism as it is, and that is refreshing and gives us more clarity on what is right and wrong.

Zizek has an anecdote about authoritarian parent and less authoritarian parent that applies here, and I agree with him fully now.

[-] Grail@multiverse.soulism.net 0 points 3 hours ago

I don't care about clarity, I care about lives! If one more Palestinian child starves to death under Trump than would under Biden, then I prefer Biden! Slightly less evil? Slightly less dead children? Yes please! Because the alternative is doing nothing; sitting in our rooms and posting about how sad it is that these children are dying. I prefer voting to doing nothing. I prefer protesting to doing nothing. I prefer giving mutual aid to doing nothing.

[-] Saarth@lemmy.world 1 points 2 hours ago

As we can clearly already see none of your voting is doing anything. AIPAC and Coke and Pepsi run your country.

Please stay out of everyone else's business and we won't bother about what happens in your country. No more coups, no more aids,no more wars, no more techno feudalism. We can figure out our shit much better without you lot.

[-] Grail@multiverse.soulism.net 1 points 2 hours ago

AIPAC is an American organisation. While I'm sure the billionaires funding it have plenty of influence over here, AIPAC itself doesn't.

You are as mistaken about My nationality as you are about the damage Trump has been doing to My country and every other country, many much worse than Mine.

Sorry, i didnt make myself clear, I am not scared of your retarded backward ass politicians. We can deal with them. Iran has shown this.We can deal with the fallout too. Civilisation will go on muich better without the US interference.

And I want to be exposed as little as possible to american politics reality TV, so i might not have the details right 100%, but i know your government is just a bunch of corporations and lobbyists in a trench coat, and I don't want their slimy hands anywhere near my government.

>the alternative is doing nothing; sitting in our rooms and posting about how sad it is that these children are dying

You just assumed i don't vote because I think Pepsi and Coke are both equally shit? Are you some kind of politics TERF who assumes people's voting choices?
