    We? Do you need other people to tell you what your opinion should be?

    I think Mamdani is the best NYC has had for a while. I also think he’s never going to go against Zionism because that’s career suicide.

    The outcome of this realisation? The US needs to first collapse for Israel to be eradicated. So best I can do is keep adding to the polarisation of the US and hope they implode and balkanize at some point

      i don’t think that’s true, the US could replace them with saudi arabia. There’s the christians who want israel to be destroyed to kick off the rapture, and there’s also a genuine isolationist faction in the republican party. With everybody mad about datacenters and everything prices you’re a ron paul type away from cutting israel off and that could hit at a sort of constructive interference where internal contradictions and external pressure from iran plus no more material assistance would fall.

        If the zionist entity collapsed first it would take the US down with it and the US knows it and would use nukes to prevent whatever party is trying to take down the zionist entity from succeeding. For one the zionists might nuke or dirty bomb the US in revenge either directly or via selling such weapons to a pawn like ISIS that they turn on the US. For second even if they don’t their intelligence officials have infiltrated every level of tech at all major companies and information security in the west and implanted backdoors which they will use to bring down all water, power, information systems and destroy the economy of the west in retribution via their tech Samson option and the west knows this but cannot do a thing about it.

        Saudi Arabia is also not full of bloodthirsty white supremacist fascists like the zionist entity. It’s a bad replacement because it’s population doesn’t see itself as white, isn’t democratically represented by the princes (democratically the Jewish population of the zionist entity fully supports the genocide, apartheid, and colonial expansion against Arabs by contrast). And Saudi Arabia doesn’t guilt Europe into supporting it on the basis of some past atrocity or history of racism.

          i don’t think the genocidal settler colony part of things is necessary for the geopolitical purpose israel serves the greater empire. I don’t even think the expansionism and hot genocide is necessary for the settler colony part if they weren’t in a hurry, but all the nazis here and over there are in it for the love of the game
