It certainly is not at all about my feelings on the matter I was only saying they were correct that a lot of people are turning against this and if they are not doing anything about that is where our job comes in.

Genetically modified tobacco plant produces cocaine in its leaves

We did make a hybrid tomato/potato but that wasn't exactly genetic modification it's just grafting. It could be a great space saving technique though.

US AND ISRAEL ATTACK IRAN

We talk every day about how Israelis are an evil people.

I didn't even say they are not lmao. All I said is that broad categorizations as such are not really productive in the end and Americans are a much larger population with many more contradictions than the Israelis.

Simple.

America is anything but. Are you lumping in all African Americans, Latin Americans, etc. who are fighting their own internal colonial struggle against the genocidal empire?

Yeah sure, Americans should sit around and wait

I literally said the opposite, that we are lagging and that is a moral failing and the person you were responding to was wrong for saying that resistance cannot come from within. People do oppose this and we need to leverage that. I don't know what you are arguing at here but you are doing a textbook strawman here.

I'm not dismissing your rightful anger, just saying I think you were misreading the comment, though they were wrong in their analysis.

We are a very misguided and propagandized people and the thing they are describing is real. People do not like this but are also complicit because they too lack critical analysis of the thing they oppose. That does not mean they do not oppose it though. They just don't know how to oppose it. They do however know that it is bad and should be opposed.

Simply pointing out complicity without offering up anything more in terms of a call to action doesn't really do anything.

Jesus returns in 2027. Once again, he’s brown and Jewish.

He immediately begins performing miracles. He cures diseases and removes lead piping in poor communities. He creates water and food which he leaves in deserts near the border. He breaks bread with trans people, sex workers, and other undesirables. He speaks out against foreign wars and gay conversion therapy. He advocates for showing mercy to people fleeing violence and poverty. People wake up one day to find their guns transformed into farm equipment. Smelling an opportunity, Trump hammers Jesus on Twitter as a socialist agitator helping “invaders” to “destroy America.” Sean Hannity does an hour-long special debunking his miracles and discussing how his agenda is anti-American and meant to undermine Christianity. Jerry Falwell Jr. leads a movement of evangelical pastors denouncing him from pulpits across the nation.

Eventually, Jesus is arrested for providing healthcare without a license, leaving food and water in the desert, protesting outside a free speech zone, destruction of property, and eventually sedition and terrorism. His followers are placed on an FBI watchlist. Following a short trial, he is convicted and sentenced to death. Smelling another opportunity, Trump gives the American people the opportunity to choose whether he should pardon Jesus, or a Border Patrol officer convicted of murdering migrants. Following a social media campaign, a coalition led by the religious and political right manages to swing the vote. The Border Patrol officer is pardoned, and immediately begins a campaign for state senate in Arizona.

Because of drug shortages, Jesus is executed using an experimental electric cross. The ensuing earthquakes and eclipse are interpreted as God’s displeasure with the gay agenda. A selfie of a prison guard inserting the muzzle of his AR-15 into a hole burned into Jesus’ side goes viral. Republican voters start a trend of getting this scene as a tattoo, which is good for discounts at friendly businesses. Iran deploys several low-yield nuclear weapons in response to a US invasion, producing a strain of stinging scorpion-locusts which decimate crop yields. Several new diseases develop in starving refugee camps.

Thanks in part to voters mobilized by the trial and execution, as well as fears of deteriorating global security, Trump is reelected by narrow margins. Falwell Jr. is inspired to declare him the second coming of the messiah.
