      Imagine a world where aliens like The Dominion in DS9 took over earth. They appoint one person as viceroy of the planet, where they will help them enforce whatever this viceroy wants.

      Imagine a planet ruled by Ms. Rachel.

      NOW imagine a planet ruled Ben-Gvir…

        fictional government system. the public elects a supreme leader with absolute power, but there are no candidates. they aren’t meant to be complement or do any work. just be the moral compass that can mandate the military to arrest a rogue leader.

        the point is to elect someone like Dolly Parton or ms Rachel.

        double checked if I misspelled the name and learned that shes Miley Cyrus’s grandma.

    Now this is projection. Which is more likely to have enough influence to silence opposition.

    The baggage of this one tweet is impressive. A (presumably) jewish person trying to smear another person as an “antisemite” by using a quote misattributed to voltaire to hide that was actually popularized by an actual antisemite/neo-nazi, and most commonly used as “proof” of the jewish control of the world. That’s exceptional levels of convoluted and fucked up.

      The worst part is she didn’t even directly criticize Israel as I understand it. All she did was show concern for babies that were starving in Gaza.

        Actually, all she did initially was raise money through Cameo for starving children in general with the money going to the charity Save The Children. Specifically their Emergency Fund, which became “controversial” because they were helping children in Gaza among other war struck locations like Sudan, Ukraine, etc. That’s what started all this.

        Trolls claimed she’d “turned political”, was raising money to go directly to Hamas, that she was antisemitic, etc. She defended herself by saying that she cared about all children everywhere, in every country, without exclusion. After that didn’t stop the trolls, she’s made it a priority to not back down from her original mission of helping children regardless of their nationality and has pushed back against this hatred towards Gazans and their children that are suffering.
