Patriots, Parasites, and the Regime
What motivates patriots to enlist? Patriots love the idea of America, yes, but first and foremost, they subordinate their love of the intangible to the tangible: their family, friends, and neighbors. They believe in their fellow Americans so much that they’re not only willing to risk their life for them, they’re yearning to kill the people – “foreign and domestic” – who dare to threaten their fellow Americans. Patriots feel it their duty to defend what they deem sacred, and that alone should help clarify why rates of enlistment haven’t recovered since the regime desecrated what’s sacred in 2020.
“The government” is often regarded as a saintly organization that cares only for the people it claims to serve; however, contrary to what the reader and author alike have been taught for years, decades, etc. – yes, the brainwashing has been overwhelmingly thorough – the government is not some charitable organization that acts solely based on the citizens’ needs.

They are not helping their fellow Americans; they are parasitizing and persecuting the very same people they claim to be serving, all the while promising that it’s in our best interest.
The Worsening Humanitarian Catastrophe in Gaza
The Israeli government’s intensifying siege of north Gaza continues, and conditions there have deteriorated even further. The leaked letter from the Biden administration from earlier this month had no effect:
“The situation in northern Gaza is worse today than it was when the letter was written,” said Scott Paul, Oxfam America’s director for peace and security. “The areas that are being depopulated right now have received nothing.”
Almost 800,000 people in Gaza are enduring “emergency” or “catastrophe” levels of food scarcity, according to the IPC, a multi-agency initiative for measuring food security.
