You're working 40+ hrs a week and part of your taxes goes to blowing up and sniping 8 year olds.
The IDF developed protocol and training for police in America. Which prioritizes killing first and asking questions after.
Your elected representatives are bought by their special interest groups and are paid to prioritize Israeli security above your house, health, and security.
Martin, Malcom, Mandela an em knew how important this shyt is
Brother you're deluded if you don't think you're part of this
Your tax dollars goes to creating slaves to mine the material in Africa for your various computerized products.
Protestors in the Congo are saying a cultural genocide is being committed on them as they are forced to mine metals to meet the U.S. demands for clean energy.
Most of the world’s cobalt is extracted in the Democratic Republic of Congo. But to get it, hundreds of thousands of Congolese people labor with no other means to survive. On episode three of On Point’s special series -- cobalt and the human cost of mining.

They don't matter, I guess. (I posted about it before, but eh, who cares about those pesky Africans? "Keep mining those metals so I can speak on the genocide going on in Gaza!")
In other news...
The Islamic State is continuing its funding of Islamic militants in various African countries...
The kidnappings of children as they are going to school by some of these groups like Boko Haram is increasing as well.
There is a lot more information in those links, one in particular discusses how these Islamists militants target civilians for the express purposes of forcing them to comply, as revenge, or any other nonsense reason they deem fit.
Whoever funds them (likely the Islamic State), funds different, small battalions as opposed to one large, central group. From my reading and interpretation, the smaller bands of Islamist militants are more effective at causing disruption and instability which makes a region's government ripe for a coup.
Then added with the many disinformation campaigns from countries like China and Russia, you get once peaceful places turning into hellscapes over night.
Some of the people talk in those articles mention not knowing what is real or fake when it comes to information. Because of how pervasive the disinformation is. The chaos destroys any chance of a democracy forming too.
Islamist militancy is a serious issue.
Indigenous Africans get treated like garbage in the Middle East
In other news....
as I posted in another thread but it was locked so I can't quote my original post:
Most of them still face intense discrimination as reported by the U.S. government.
and...
"In Kenya, I bought you. You will do what I want.' Riyadh formally abolished slavery in 1962, but migrant workers, especially women, offer shocking testimony about what it’s like to be one of Saudi Arabia’s African 'slaves' "

Y'all not walking and chewing gum at the same time it seems if you are not posting about what's happening to indigenous Africans at the same rate as Palestine.
Those countries have every right to hate us. Israel sent us on dummy missions against irag and Afghanistan to find their "WMDs". That was proven to be a lie. We have killed so many ppl in the middle east. Syria, Jordan, Lebanon, you name it. Now we gotta go after Iran on their behalf?
Israel starts beef and wants us to clean it up and finance it. They are a burden to us. We have given them 440 billion since 1968.
If we are going to speak about "justifications for hatred," then Indigenous Africans have every right to hate every North African country and the Middle East entirely for 600 years of slavery, and displacing them from their homelands in Northern Africa. No other group on this planet has more justification for hatred than indigenous Africans.
