Like let's put aside socialism, morals, basic humanity. Why the fuck does the west support Israel to the degree it does? Like it only alienates basically every other potential partner in the ME. It can't effectively serve as a barracks state because who would we need that army to fight that wouldn't only make things worse? Their economy is basically propped up by the USA. Yes they serve as a platform for weapons and systems testing, but they don't need a complete blank cheque too it. Like I don't get this logic. Cut em a check and pull bibi's leash and wash your hands of it. Like the logic of "Unconditional 110% support" is just fuckin nuts. Yeah sure a good bit of it us ideology, but there has to be some matrierial calculus in there somewhere. They are basically sacrificing the baby Ukraine over this.

I grew up in that ideology, and idk what to do about the way it affects people. My parents are stoked about the current bloodshed because maybe this might be the beginning of the war that heralds the return of Jesus. What do you even do with that?

you have to improve peoples' material conditions and foster a culture of curiosity about world so that they fall out of religion on their own. and critical support for reddit atheists.
