I get along well with my family, but I’m honestly considering voting Kamala just to fuck with them.

    You could always donate money to the Palestinian gofundmes that are floating around like these:

    There’s so much more you could find at https://gazafunds.com/. And if you think every single one of those gofundmes are scams, there’s always the Municipality of Gaza https://gaza-city.ensany.com/campaign/6737 that are trying to raise money for:

    • Water supply enhancement projects
    • Maintenance of water wells
    • Implementation of water desalination initiatives
    • Management of waste collection and disposal systems
    • Reconstruction of roads demolished during war
    • Implementation of sewage water pumping and treatment schemes
    • Execution of pest control and rodent eradication programs
    • Enhance water provisions for residents and maintain consistency.
    • Manage the collection and disposal of accumulated waste throughout the city.
    • Address sewage overflow and sanitation issues across various areas of the city.
    • Initiate the reopening of key thoroughfares to facilitate emergency vehicle access.
    • Clear debris from the cityscape to restore ease of movement for residents.
    • Provide aid to the personnel of the Gaza Municipality Emergency Committee.

    To say that our only choice as people living within the imperial core is to either do adventurism, fuck off into the woods, or do absolutely nothing is a ridiculous dichotomy.

    From each according to their abilities to each according to their needs.

      That’s not what I was saying. I was responding to the very narrow framing of american citizens being forced to pay for genocide and saying I don’t see how to solve that specific problem.

      In any case and more importantly, thank you for linking ways people can actively help. I’d rather my money go toward saving lives than ending them.
