It self-consciously is the reason: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FYLNCcLfIkM

Israel only has lobbying groups that are allowed to operate in American politics because the US was already dedicated to zionism. Otherwise there'd be, like, a Chinese AIPAC lobbying for the PRC or something.

I think Bibi was technically born in Israel and spent his early childhood there but lived in Philidelphia during the period that he went to high school.

Israel serves a geopolitical purpose destabilizing the Middle East and suppressing development of rival countries (e.g. assassinating that nuclear physicist in Iran).

“Both sides are just as bad!” is the bullshit

It's not that they are identical, it's that delineating between the Hitlerites and the Strasserites just isn't very meaningful compared to the understanding that they are wings of the same monstrous entity that needs to be destroyed. You don't even need to Obamas embracing Bush and saying "same values" to see that, but seeing that makes denial inexcusable.

The first-past-the-post voting system sucks; the resulting two-party system sucks; but

The hand-wringing isn't the worst part, but it's definitely the most annoying. "Don't worry, I'm disavowing Harris while I vote for her in my non-swing-state, so it doesn't count even as she uses those votes to claim legitimacy just like Biden did".

It's an understandable mistake regardless, but just for your reference, the "What is your story?" at the end informally indicates it only wants affirmative answers because that's how you'd have a "story" to tell in this regard. There are often hints like that in a question like this.

Nearly everyone would like a roof, heat/cooling (climate dependent), beds of some kind, etc. I don't give a shit about seasonal decorations for a portion of the population until everyone who wants those gets them.

and they are tied to “state owned companies”

"State Owned Enterprises" is the term. Anyway, is this actually true? My impression was that the billionaires had private companies (Alibaba, etc.) and SOEs did not produce them.
