Highlights:

"Its honestly a joke some suburban mayor can get tagged with this while we have congressmen doing open propaganda for Israel in public all day." >I would prefer no one being an agent of a foreign government, but it’s hard to argue this is any different than Israel’s influence within our government. >>Israel is influencing America to help them commit genocide so I am gonna go ahead and say Israel is several steps worse >>>In terms of acting as a foreign agent, it is worse to be acting for an adversary than for an ally, no? I'm not saying that I like it but within the context, serving the interests of a controversial ally is better than a known foe. >>>>No. There is not a country existing that is worse than Israel. The fact they are our "ally" only makes it worse.

"I’m surprised people here are defaulting to whataboutism instead of seeing the larger issue of foreign influence of adversaries on U.S. politics" >It is hypocritical to decry other people influencing our politicians and not looking at what we ourselves have done to others. >The whataboutism is about foreign influence. >>But only about Israeli it seems, apparently China is good to go since Israel does it.

"Dude, I don't care. If Israel can infiltrate our government with every US Rep posting up their propaganda, fuck it. At least China ain't bombing their neighbors." >China is actively committing genocide within their own borders and the Chinese government has killed more people than Israel ever could. >>The US has & also currently is committing genocide within & beyond our own borders. >>>The US is doing nothing even remotely close to what China is doing to the Uyghurs. >>>>It’s funny, whenever I see someone say this, nobody responds to it lol I take it that they know but it doesn’t align with their fantasy so they project. >>>>>Pretending that anything the US is doing to its own people is comparable to what China is doing to the Uyghurs is absurd CCP propaganda. >>>>>>Experts Warn U.S. in Early Stages of Genocide Against Trans Americans from the Lemkin Institute

If so, this might proof the new models are already deployed.

Just seems too ridicilous to me as observer. And its both parties saying that.

Whats your take?

Epsecially on reddit its liberal Americans inserting themselves into every discussion and repeating the same nonsense of how the US is collapsing because they do not like the ideology of the government, just to shill the Democrat Party.

Other countries are going through significantly worse struggles right now, and are not collapsing.
