wouldn't it be a more effective protest to drive there, park, spend 3 hours browsing the aisles, before finally buying a single pint of milk

and my point is that it's not going to change unless people attempt to change it

it's literally the same argument that gets wheeled out any time there's pressure for social change, then when things finally change we all look back in 10 years and ask ourselves how the hell we ever tolerated the old way of doing things

if you want to vote biden because you think the short term benefits of avoiding trump for another 4 years outweigh the long term drawbacks of further entrenching the same status quo that led to palestine, fine

just don't pretend that you never had any choice in the matter

rome famously neglected diplomacy, but in either case once you get rid of the mental gymnastics your argument boils down to "it's too hard so we shouldn't try"

that's the thing though, they don't need to "get help to" palestine, they just need to stop actively supporting israel in its genocide

you think the appetite is going to be there for actually committing resources somewhere when they can't even just do nothing?

buddy if your replies get any dumber i'm going to have to assume you're an andrew tate fan

what are you asking me to prove? that tate was held without being charged?

i do find it slightly horrifying that in romania they can just decide to put you in prison indefinitely without having to prove you did anything

can you just not read

in the us, if you're arrested you need to be charged or released within a fixed period, usually up to 72 hours

tate was arrested in december, held for 3 months without being charged, was moved to house arrest, then was charged in june

Not really. In detail, maybe, but there will always be an excuse available to avoid committing US resources to any given genocide.
