The more I learn to try and see the world as a collection of people just doing what they need to trying to survive, perchance to thrive, the more absolutely comic book evil the bad guys seem. "Oh, I can see why you would want nukes after seeing how America renegs on their deals." vs "I am literally fascism incarnate and its not subtle."

I'm nobody from nowhere doing nothing, but I have spent so many hours whittling away a sense of humor, political philosophy, multiple novels, and interpersonal relationships believing that people's actions are usually internally consistent and grounded in their material base. You know how much I hate the concept of a bad guy? Not to mention I took a collegiate level class on the history of the Arab-Israeli conflict. What an unhinged lunatic. The Zionist entity has no qualms endangering peace for untold millions with war crimes that we collectively decided in the wake of two of the bloodiest conflicts the world has ever seen were too fucked up. For what? For cheap Gazan labor in an open air prison?

I just hope justice is real.
