The US has been involved in one genocide or another since its founding. We Can do better, but likely will not.
And I’m also a student of history. Almost every country on the planet has been or is currently involved in some sort of genocide or ethnic cleansing. Because humans kind of suck. We can be better, but we almost never make that choice.
Also the current choice is between “steady as she goes (genocide and all)” and “ramp that genocide right the fuck up, maybe do some at home again, too”.
Yup, the US was founded on high ideals and blatant hypocrisy.
We’re doing better than when we started, but there’s a lot of room to grow.
And I can say that is true for pretty much every country on Earth. Humanity in general can do better, but to actually put that into practice needs a highly educated population who are actively engaged with government. And to get there will require some structural changes to the government itself.
Changes like abandoning Ordinal Voting Systems in favor of Cardinal voting systems. And expanding the size of the government massively.
As much as I hate the corpo Dems, the Progressives might just be the key to moving forward. The Regressives of the Republican Party are right out, a complete step backward. And due to Plurality, those are our choices.
So yeah, we work with the system we have, until we can change it into something better.
I’m a realist.

Biden and Harris have made some slight noises about being unhappy with Israel.
But they’re likely waiting for after the election to make any sort of move. But I’m not hopeful that it will be a large move.
Trump would make a large move to ramp things up.
😦
