Well, I take the death of Aylan Kurdi personal. I take it personal that this country I live in, the government some of the people in this country "elect", rampages the earth creating genocides and massive refugee situations. I take it personal that the government of this country so deviously supports a racist country that keeps nearly two million people literally in prison, depriving them of freedom and necessary supplies for their insane religious fantasm of Greater Israel.
I take it personal that people support politicians that support U.S. imperialism and Israeli Zionism, especially when they've been told time and time again that these politicians are nothing but ruling class "gangsters for capitalism" who will not challenge the murdering road show that is U.S. imperialism.
So Sanders supporters, go ahead and take it personal. That's politics, that's imperialism, that's zionism, that's genocide and murder, it is personal. It's always going to be personal. If you want to support a politician, and Sanders is no different than all the rest in this regard, that continues the racist and murderous policy of Manifest Destiny that seeks to control and subjugate people of color and those without money and power, then it is going to be personal.
It's going to be as personal for the democrats that support Bernie Sanders as it is the republicans that support Jeb Bush or Donald Trump. Sanders supporters somehow believe their guy is different, their guy is a good guy. Most of these "supporters" are the same ones who supported Obama and look where that got them. Most of these Sanders' supporters STILL support the War Criminal Obama.
Good guys don't support U.S. imperialism and Israeli Zionism. No they don't. Good guys don't want anything to do with killing millions of people just so they can have higher wages or better medical care. Good guys don't sacrifice their fucking souls on the backs of Palestinians over a quest for land and power.
Take a look at the pictures of Aylan Kurdi and all the other children that have been literally blown to bits by U.S. weapons of mass destruction. Take a look at the fathers trying to save their children from the fucking psychopaths that rule the western world while Americans go about their lives staring at their Iphones and getting indignant when criticized for their support of the killing, maiming and stealing.
Take a real good look. It's personal all right. It's gone on far too long and it will end, with or without Sanders' supporters.
Whose side are you really on?
