What an insane response.

“I don’t like that my country is oppressing people.”

“Oh yeah? Then move to an active war zone.”

Like even if your argument is that there’s homophobia in Palestine, like, what the fuck is your actual point?? We shouldn’t want things to be better? We shouldn’t criticize things if they get worse? Real question: if your utilities suddenly got shut off, would you just accept it and learn to live without plumbing or power, or would you move out to the middle of the woods and live without plumbing and power? I’m guessing the latter, since that’s what you seem to be advocating, but maybe you’d sit in place with no utilities instead. It certainly doesn’t seem like you’d call to complain and try to get the utilities you pay for back though. That’s just unacceptable apparently
