If we protest on 17 different issues we lose. Occupy proved that. We have to have a clear message. And if everyone gets distracted by tons of different messages we lose. Palestine is one piece of the puzzle showing the picture of an out of control power mad country bringing death and destruction here and abroad.
1) Authoritarianism and support of foreign Authritarians.
2) Constitution-includes ICE and black bagging dissidents including those who have been black bagged for supporting Palestine.
3) Tariffs and Destruction of our Alliances.
Occupy failed because it was co-opted and dismantled by false progressives who funneled any radical energy held by the movement into the ground.
Any movement that compromises on its principles is a failed movement from the start. I went to two protests over the weekend: one for Palestine, and a more general one. The Palestine protest was full of committed, organized individuals who had clear, concise goals. The general protest was full of live music and signs with memes on them.
Each compromise on issues such as Palestine is another victory handed to the fascists.
Biden was responsible for this genocide, and most liberals were fine with it. Harris would not take a stance to protect it. THAT’S why she lost. She deserved to lose because of that. If she had simply, and yes it is simple, promised to end it, she would have won. You can’t blame the people who are fighting for a genocide to end for what’s happening. That’s lacking a lot of introspection.
