Already been there. People are great. Shithead leaders of states are almost always terrible human being. States are the problems, isn't that why people in crypto are trying to end state control of money (among other things). It gets tiresome having to keep explaining this, but necessary. Wahabbism is a disease and the leaders of Saudi Arabia are terrible humans by their actions. This goes for Jordan, Lebanon, Iran, France, China, Mexico, India, and on and on. Shitheads that float like scum to "the top" so that they can rule over people (and claim rights to dictate how religion, culture, history play out and are interpreted) are illegitimate in the eyes of people who actually know that they are free in this world. I'll leave it to the slave-minded people of the world to generalize and hate the "evil muslims" or "evil jews" or "evil christians" or whatever because some moron with the percetption of authority told them to hate. Meanwhile, I'll be looking to connect with intelligent, free-spirited, hard-working people anywhere in the world to make this rock a better place. People need to get out of the STATIST MINDSET 😉 Peace!
You've been to Gaza?
Having been active in the Israel/Palestine discussion for over 20 years I know the direction this line of questioning goes. Sorry, won't engage. I've said my piece. I don't engage Zionists of any flavor, hasbara, or any other faction of the pro-Israel/pro genocide team. Genocide is wrong, Israel should stop doing it. Stealing land for 80+ years is wrong, Israel should stop doing it. There isn't a problem with the people in Gaza, there is a problem with the Zionists who have been destroying every aspect of their existence since the Zionists gathered in the 1800s, worked to achieve the Balfour Declaration in 1917, then proceeded to ethnically cleanse (Nakba) the Palestinians, the innumerable atrocities (Sabra & Shatila merely 2 among them), USS Liberty for the American slaves, and on and on to present day full blow Holocaust by the Zionist upon the Palestinians...full circle, the Zionists have become the Nazis. Wonderful. So, sorry, I no longer do the back and forth and try to appease "the only democracy in the middle east". Good day to you, no further replies from me :)
