I’ve been meaning to make a thread about an IRL vibe shift. I go jogging a few times a week and I live in an area that’s really touristy in the summer. I usually say “free palestine” to people as I pass them. 99% of the time, people just ignore me. I’ve said this to hundreds of people. This is a rich white liberal area and you need some money to vacation here. Only one person has ever answered me positively, and she seemed to be an Indian college student. This was months ago. But a few days ago I went jogging, and tourists were here for the first time this summer. I said free palestine as I passed them on my jog. And two of them agreed with me. Two! On the first day! Two white people! So I have to wonder if some sort of vibe shift is taking place. A majority of Americans disapproves of isntreal for the first time. Are the libs just pretending to be socialists when they’re out of power (and will they revert to “everything good is impossible” mode once they get back into the White House?) or is this a permanent change? It happened again yesterday. Not many people were out, but I said free palestine to two white boomers, and one ignored me while the other agreed with me! What is happening?
