dank memes

Rules:

  1. All posts must be memes and follow a general meme setup.

  2. No unedited webcomics.

  3. Someone saying something funny or cringe on twitter/tumblr/reddit/etc. is not a meme. Post that stuff in /c/slop

  4. Va*sh posting is haram and will be removed.

  5. Follow the code of conduct.

  6. Tag OC at the end of your title and we'll probably pin it for a while if we see it.

  7. Recent reposts might be removed.

  8. Tagging OC with the hexbear watermark is praxis.

  9. No anti-natalism memes. See: Eco-fascism Primer

I really don't want to be defending this guy, but reading what he said is kinda confusing.

"Iran, or, Israel's ability to be able to defend itself is absolutely fundamental, getting its hostages back, fundamental, and ending the humanitarian crisis in Gaza. But the expansion of Israel and its proxies is an absolute, fundamental necessity for the United States to have the steady leadership there."

Emphasis mine. His "but" seems to be in contradiction to all his direct "fundamental, period. Fundamental, period." I hate the short time these stupid debates give people because he really needs to fucking explain what "steady leadership" is supposed to mean there. Are we going to try to stop Isreals attempts to expand? I didn't really read that as directly connected to his positive affirmation of what he said was fundamental before it.

He's a mumble mouth, but his intention and word choice is absolutely clear, support for Israeli fascism will continue no matter what

The But is a signal that the obscene platitudes are said and done, and the true policy is about to be laid out.....and "the expansion of Israel and its proxies is an absolute, fundamental necessity for the United States to have the steady leadership there" is the true policy of the United States and the fascists of the Democratic Party, everything before it was nonsense

I think he jumbled two different pre-prepared lines and accidentally turned a standard American lightly-fashy answer about supporting Israel and opposing Iran into an insane genocidal word salad.
