Domains need to be registered annually and DNS servers are needed to route traffic to them. But using an IP directly, you don’t need to worry about domain registration issues that can brick your systems, and you don’t have to worry about DNS providers knowing about your traffic (or maintaining your own private dns).

If it’s not a user trying in a memorable domain, an IP serves much better.

Easy, you’re a salaried employee and “seasonal duty: light warehouse work”

Boom, it’s part of your job.

That’s irrelevant…

You continue to ignore that what I’m saying is right: you only care because you can blame the USA.

That’s a baseless assertion, why would I entertain it.

You are choosing to be here.

Right. See, if you’re actually curious to talk to Palestinians, we can clear up these idiotic talking points you keep repeating brainlessly. Let’s try. This story is very familiar with many Palestinian Americans, but this is mine.

No, I didn’t choose to come here. My parents did. You’re right, they could have chosen to stay in a refugee camp and became mujahedeen, but they were born right around the Nakba and they only know Palestine under occupation. They were not very well educated, they learned their trades through apprenticeship and UNRWA schools.

They left Palestine for Jordan because of economic chokehold Israel has on Palestinian, they had no choice. They them immigrated to the US again for economic reasons. They were not very political, they looked at Arafat the same way you seem to look at Democrats: genuine fighters for the cause and just waiting to bounce back. They didn’t know what we know now, that he sold Palestine for personal comfort.

I was an older teenager when I immigrated with my family, again not by choice. As a Palestinian/Jordanian I knew of the struggle, but I knew the Jordanian propaganda version: (then) king Hussein is the protector of the holy sites, he saved the West Bank by annexing it, and was working hard for a two state solution. We (most Palestinian expats) accepted the two state solution.

We lacked the class consciousness and historical readings to understand that the two-state solution was always a distraction while Israel conspires with Jordan and Egypt to slowly eliminate all of Palestine. Look at the map of Palestinian territories today.

So in short, we didn’t know. We didn’t know that the biggest misstep Arafat made was to recognize Israel, we didn’t know that America’s interests are entirely aligned with erasing Palestine, we didn’t know the Democrats position of support for a two state solution was fake.

We bought everything the Democrats said about human rights and morals, we celebrated Obama, we voted for Biden and the first time and worked SO FUCKING HARD to convince everyone we know to vote for Biden because democracy depends on it… We elected our Hitler.

We’re awake now. We’ve seen enough shredded babies, enough IOF soldiers publishing their own gleeful war crimes, and we watched the Democrats blame the babies for being human shields while our tax dollars funded Biden’s unwavering support for the genocide. The illusion was destroyed, the propaganda became obvious, they’ll use Palestinians or African Americans or LGBTQ Americans and they’ll give those communities small advantages while preserving a system that’s designed to exploit all of us for the benefit of the ruling class.

The issue is not America, the issue is capitalism. Capitalism is the root cause of all of the above. Hard to communicate that to an audience that lacks class consciousness in a thread specifically about US domestic politics, so I’m attempting to just put questions in peoples’ heads so maybe they’ll start asking more questions that should lead to the same conclusion: the Democrats are not your friends.

If you came to learn the party you supported would take an exception for ALL of the positions you supported them for when it comes to Palestine, why wouldn’t you ask questions?

People genuinely argue that Trump is worse for Palestine, but so far he’s been mostly talk. We’ve seen the worst of the failing genocide under Biden and he showed no signs of remorse. Trump is worse for the US.

Both parties want to take us right and turn us into wage slaves though.

For the record, I see futility in arguing with a (possibly a bot) disingenuous asshole. I’m responding for posterity so maybe others passing by can see this conversation and judge for themselves.

I am Palestinian, and I’m living in America speaking not my native tongue and arguing with an asshole who in response to me saying “Democrats backed a genocide” wrote all the awful shit you did. You’re a bad person.

Both parties suck and are ruining the country. Here’s an idea, let’s take the jackass that jumped around with a chainsaw and sawed away people’s benefits before giving two Seig Heils at the worse of the two horrible parties, let’s go with his new party.

What a joke.

So I made an argument about US domestic policy and somehow I need to prove to you that I have another account where I criticize other countries for the genocide of my people before you’ll accept that you’re being a super weird ZioNazi right now?

This account is 3 days old, I barely have any comments. This is so stupid I’m not sure how to respond.

In a thread about domestic politics in the US, I made the claim that Democrats fully backed a genocide, and you’re still going on about me not talking about other countries. Are you dense, or a Zionist pos trying to detail the conversation?

It’s just weird. You’re just weird.

The comparison was to cash, not credit cards. The government doesn’t know who I hand cash to.

They’ll never come back because studios will never release new movies on them.

Piracy is coming back strong, but I don’t personally see myself going back to burning DVDs instead of buying HDD/SSDs.

Why do you want me to complain about other countries in a thread specifically about US domestic politics?

That’s so weird.

All of the countries are guilty, especially the Arab puppet rulers, starting with the tomato king Abdullah of Jordan and khara Sisi of Egypt who allow the transport of commercial goods to Israel while blocking aid to Gaza and intercepting Iranian rockets on the heads of Jordanians. None of that is relevant when discussing American politics.

I invite you to reflect on the words I’m saying instead of just focusing on the high you’re getting from what you perceive as owning me or whatever.

Your responses and this baseless rejection of my identity is so aggressive and weird that it’s not triggering any emotional response in me, I’m just confused.

I don’t think I said anything to justify your hostility, I even agreed with your irrelevant point.

Why are you shocked?

Oh no not AI videos! The horror. Bring back the 2,000lbs bombs on tent encampments and leaving babies to starve to death in hospitals, bring back white phosphorus on civilians, bring back normalizing dead baby pieces hanging from the rubble. But not AI videos!!!

Biden is our Hitler, and our history books will reflect that. You’re correct, the Gaza genocide is just one small chapter in the history of England and then the US colonizing Palestine.

Be consistent, if you’re able to credit him for the good things he did instead of saying he’s just building on what Trump left him, you should be able to recognize that he could have ended this genocide but refused.

Even if Trump was a good president/person and wanted to end it, there’s nothing left of Gaza for the remaining population. Biden already wiped it out.

First they came for the Palestinians in Gaza And I did not speak out Because I was not a Palestinian in Gaza

Is that clear enough yet? I’ve watched Americans dismiss the slaughter of our children as a papercut and describe the infinitely preferable (compared to your children being literally shredded to pieced daily, or a paper cut in your words) future of Americans who refused to vote for a viable candidate as being stabbed with a rusty sword.

And you expect us to be there for you when you’re the last one left? Fuck you. You described an active Genocide as a paper cut, and the self-destruction of the American empire and the upcoming recession due partly because they got rid of cheap exploitative labor as a stab with a rusty sword. You lack historic perspective, empathy, morals, and certainly class consciousness.

The Democrats are not your friends, do you forget that Debbie W Schultz rejected our demand for Bernie and have us Hillary? That’s how we got Trump the first time, and what did the Democrats do? They blamed us, the voters. You forget Hillary’s contempt for Bernie voters and how she described him as an infiltrator?

America ruining itself is going to save millions of lives and give many counties the chance to recover from exploitation. You’re just being a selfish fuck who’s upset now that consequences are home.

If my argument is flawed, you should be able to point out the flaws.

Wtf? We’re discussing US politics. Of course genocide loving Germany is guilty as well, how the fuck did I give them a free pass?

As we say in palestinian, شو خص طز بمرحبا؟

Trump is just stupid. Many countries that rely on tourism do this, they have free or near free entry for citizens and ~$20-100 entry for foreigners. This helps them generate a significant portion of their annual budget.

I haven’t verified these numbers, but quick searching days that roughly 14–15 million foreign tourists visit U.S. national parks each year, accounting for about 4% of total park visits. If we charge $20 per person for international visitors, that’s $280–300 million annually… that’s… Peanuts for the US.

I wouldn’t be opposed to it at all if the fees are only used to preserve and maintain the national parks, but you know this fucker just wants to funnel the money into deep pockets.

You should have revolted as a society when you started committing a live steamed genocide. If no one cares about children being literally shredded to pieces with their taxes, why would they care that someone 20 minutes away is “getting deported”.

They’re not scared, they’re amoral. People voted for this, you forget.

What did I blame the Democrats for what the Republicans are doing?

Are you denying that Biden enthusiastically and fully backed the genocide?

If so, I see no point in arguing with you anymore, you’re clearly still in the American politics cult. Democrats are not your friends, they just give you the illusion of someone fighting on your behalf. They are complicit in every major shift the country took to the right.
