This is the result of capitalism. If we don’t fundamentally change the way we live on this planet, humanity will go extinct. It’s as simple as that.

COVID was a clear message to us all that when push comes to shove, we dont really matter. And when things happen like this, the Democide delivered by our Government, is ignored, long grassed or swept under a rug, so theres never any justice. People should be in jail for this, We all know who.

Zionists are just flat out lying about everything. You can present them with all the evidence in the world and they’ll just go, “Nuh uh” and double down on their genocidal bullshit. It’s like trying to talk to a Trump or Biden supporter, except their cult is Israel.
