You underestimate how stupid the average person is.

600k people being jailed? Very unlikely, the UK doesn’t even have 200k serving police officers in total and prisoners have been released early because there’s simply no space left for them. I’d be surprised if even 1% were arrested. The UK brought in some super draconian protest laws recently though, so no doubt there will be some, especially given what the protest is for.

There is already an antisemitic genocide going on in the region. Palestinians are Semitic people.

Agree with what you’re saying here and I think I need to do some more reading. Getting the impression that I’ve been misinformed/mislead.

You can believe what you like but I’m not here to spread disinformation. Looking at the replies from other people I think I’m just misinformed and need to do more research. It’s possible to be wrong on the internet without it being tied up in a conspiracy.

Fairly sure that’s because Russia is heavily sanctioned by thr US already, alongside North Korea, Cuba, Iran etc.

Things are bad but let’s not spread hysteria.

Holy mother of false equivalence.

So what’s the alternative then? Just let politicians get away with crimes and elect them anyway? Because that doesn’t seem to be going too well for the US.

People keep saying this and I apologise if this comes across as callous, but this is a very online opinion. I’ve seen no evidence whatsoever that the Palestinian genocide would even move the needle for the average American voter let alone be enough to sway the election. While I’m sure it didn’t help, the Democrats lost because they promised more of the same neoliberalism at home when many Americans desperately wanted a departure from the status quo and because there’s a depressing amount of Americans that are just straight up bigots, not because of their stance on Gaza.

Government so small it can fit inside your office.

Ex-Roman Catholic here. I was never particularly devout but this is what drove me away from the church once and for all. I have never seen people preach about God’s love with so much hate in their hearts.

Poland has been sounding the alarm while the rest of the EU sat on its hands for years. Suppose that’s easy to do when the threat isn’t literally on your doorstep.

If you are in America and are expressing pro-Palestinian views online regardless of your citizenship status, you should be seriously considering yourself a legitimate target for arrest or abduction by the state. If you haven’t already, it is essential to assess your security posture and take action as required.

If you need a starting point, take a look at the Electronic Frontier Foundation’s surveillance self-defense guide: https://ssd.eff.org/

Please be safe.
