politicization kills

 

Keep your eyes well covered

So you won't see it coming

Until you drown or burn

Politicization is killing us,

and making the lives we keep

much more miserable than they

need be.  Not for useful or

meaningful reason, not even 

guaranteeing the benefit to

politicians they may think they court.

How about instead of creating and

exacerbating these unnecessary

tragedies, people working to gain

public office do so through 

reasonable programs for solutions 

to our actual issues.

We did not consent to be ruled by

machines.  Our philosophy is rule 

by law, which we all have a voice in.

An excuse about decisions being 

made by machines, or rote, is no 

excuse but an admission of guilt, 

of not doing the job we agreed to.

 

Rather than making lives better 

through goods and services refined 

for customer satisfaction, today's 

capitalism is about forcing businesses 

and consumers to deal with what has 

been decided to be best for immediate 

profitability.

The pure brutality of Netanyahu 

should be clear evidence to the 

world of the righteousness of 

Hamas' cause -- look!

What kinds of retaliation, or even 

defense, is Hamas waging against Israel?  

Only terrorist tactics were available 

to them.

If we call out their acts as brutality 

(which they were), what is the level 

of that brutality measured against 

Netanyahu's?

With this escalation toward al all out war

against more and more, don't the Israeli

people understand the danger they 

are creating for themselves?  That it 

is a matter of their continued 

existence to overthrow

Netanyahu any way they can?

While we know Trump is all about

real estate deals for the current 

Palestinian land once it's been 

(bloodily) cleared, we don't really 

know Harris's plans.

Right now she is VPOTUS -- not in

charge, and honor bound to support 

her President.  Yet, she does not have 

the decades of matter of course 

support of Israel, but comes from a 

generation in which Israeli cruelty 

and bad faith has played out.

If she has a Democratic Congress, it 

would be easier to replace authorizations 

for Israeli defense funding that now rule, 

especially if those Congresspeople are 

elected with their positions on Palestine 

in mind.

Of course, the Christian Right is 

pro-Israeli victory, despite their l

oud anti-semitism, in their quest for the 

Apocalypse, and as allies in Islamophobia.  

There are other powerful US groups 

with pro-Israel biases vying for their

voice in our national policies.

I am thinking it might be useful to find out

who Harris listens to, respects, and 

develop a dialog.
