    It’s difficult for people that have just learned to hate to come to terms with the fact that their allies are complete monsters.

    Yeah, the guys that chant “death to Israel” might not be good people. Go figure. They might actually be oppressive assholes using hatred to control people. What’s the term for an authoritarian regime that uses hatred and fear to control people? Damn, right on the tip of my tongue…

    But don’t think too much about what it means to be in a group that hates a certain group of people (but it’s a country of people, and also the people that think that country should exist you hate, so it’s cool to hate!) and then your allies have just killed 12,000 protesters in a week. Just keep on hating the people you’re supposed to hate and don’t ever think about things!
