Oh in regards to migration btw

These protests where the people are flying the flags of their home countries they are so proud of but absolutely never want to be sent back to and sometimes BURNING the American flag is so stupid

Just from a practical perspective, that is one of the dumbest ways to elicit sympathy

The BEST way? Fly the American flag. Basically do what this German soldier was doing to not get shot in the head. We all know we felt bad for this guy only seconds from death even though he killed medic Wade (in self-defense)

Now….he did totally fuck up by being disingenuous and not only going back into circulation but also killing the man that spared him, Captain Miller. Yea sorry you deserve to die for that, brah

But in terms of eliciting sympathy, burning American flags is NOT the way. This is how it’s done

(To migrants), SEE THE DIFFERENCE?

These people don't care that they are little more than political pawns used to make a statement.

A group of agent provacateurs will recruit a following, usually for cash, then they will use these people to rally others to a certain cause, sometimes it's because a black drug addict died, this time it's because trump wants to curtail illegal immigration, and they don't want it #1 because trump wants it, and #2 they don't want to pick their own strawberries.

Their position is so ridiculously unpopular, that they have to appeal to the only people left who will agree with them, plain ol' anarchists, and the very small anti-american faction that exists in the US

This effort only exists for one reason, which is to get on the news, to have their picture taken, to stir up controversy.

and behind it all, is the Chinese Communist Party sowing it's seeds of discord in their 100 year plan to surpass the USA

where did the hippies get all of their funding to travel and protest the vietnam war? Straight from the KGB

I agree this must be a thing. Because when I think of myself, I would totally become that begging German guy if that’s what I thought could make people feel sorry enough for me to spare my life or let me stay in their country

Now if they spared my life I’ve thought about it and I would have to refuse going back into circulation. Even if it meant death or prison. I couldn’t live with myself if I was spared by the enemy only to go right back out and kill them a few days later. I have some god damn honor. And I’d say fuck you to any Germans trying to make me all the way to the gallows

I'd be surprised if any country accepts Palestinians considering some pretty severe friction in places that have hosted them in the past, including assassinations and coup attempts. Basically they have tended to act with a single minded focus to make whatever state they are in commit terror attacks against Israel. If the country refuses, they commit terror attacks against that country. I feel like there is plenty of room though in certain parts of the world, like here:

Honestly I am a fan of this no-state solution idea.

100% the no-state solution is the best solution that is possible in a rational world

palestinians govern themselves like sub-saharan africans and have lost the goodwill of the entire world
