Jordan Lund is NOT a good human being.
Right, the Gaza Genocide isn't US Politics... Those aren't US made bombs being dropped with US politicians cheering them on and US diplomatic support and denial allowing the Genocide to continue. Nothing could be more salient to US politics than the ways in which the Palestinian Genocide drove us to war.
What a joke.
I feel that this situation unfortunately requires escalation and I will be directly contacting Lemmy World mods, I will update with their response.
For the record the first article about corporate complicity in the Palestinian Genocide includes references to many major US corporations, thus making it drirectly relevant to US politics at an immediate level.

The second article about US media's complicity in coverage over the Palestinian Genocide... do I need to actually explain how that is related to US politics? Of course it is?
https://sopuli.xyz/post/42579919
The third article is relevant because the US and Israel have been intimately interwoven in their escalation of Genocide and breaking of international norms, if a Genocide begins in Lebanon it will be a DIRECT continuation of US politics applied first in Israel and next in Lebanon. I mean what the hell we are fighting a war RIGHT NOW and this is the biggest escalation possible IN THAT WAR. How is that NOT related to US politics?!?!?!?!!!!!???

The fourth article about there being no ceasefire in Gaza, I don't even know how to go about this one, om, it is politics involving primarily the US here? The US is the single most relevant political actor capable of changing this situation? How is this not US politics? Where can you cleanly draw a line here?

The US is directly and intimately complicit in the Palestinian Genocide, you cannot in good conscience nor with logical consistency separate US politics cleanly from this issue, if you wanted that to be possible you should have spoken up louder against the Genocide before, now it is too late to fumble with broken stilted arguments like this. The Palestinian Genocide is US Politics, period, end of story.
Can we finally stop pretending that what we have been witnessing in Gaza over the past 22 months is a “war,” a “conflict,” or even a “humanitarian crisis”? Many of the world’s leading human rights and humanitarian groups – including Amnesty International, Human Rights Watch and Doctors Without Borders – agreed months ago that what is being livestreamed to our phones on a daily basis is indeed a genocide.
...
Trump’s Republican allies in the House and Senate are even more gung-ho. Forget complicity; Congress is filled with GOP cheerleaders for genocide, from Senators Tom “bounce the rubble in Gaza” Cotton to Lindsey “level the place” Graham. The newest member of the House, Randy Fine, a Republican representative of Florida, has called for the nuking of Gaza and said just days ago that Palestinians in Gaza should “starve away” until the Israeli hostages are all released. (A reminder that incitement to genocide is also a crime under Article III of the Genocide convention.)
But we cannot let Democrats off the hook either. The first 16 months of this mass slaughter unfolded on a Democratic president’s watch. From the get-go, Joe Biden gave Netanyahu and his cabinet of génocidaires everything they needed – 2,000-lb bombs to drop on refugee camps filled with Palestinian children? Check. UN security council vetoes to prevent the passage of resolutions calling for a permanent ceasefire? Check. The burial of internal US government reports warning of war crimes and famine in Gaza? Check.
It wasn’t just Biden. The vast majority of Democrats in Congress spent much of 2024 casting vote after vote to keep arming, funding and whitewashing the mass killing of Palestinian civilians. Even now, in the summer of 2025, seven high-profile Democratic senators were happy to take a smiling photo with Netanyahu, including the Senate minority leader Chuck Schumer, who claims talk of genocide is antisemitic and says his job “is to keep the left pro-Israel”.

edit personal DM from goat taunting me for the other thread being locked before I could fully explain myself and get a solid answer from Lemmy World.
Problem: deliberate obtuseness
It's just astounding to see the gymnastics here to avoid recognizing what's happening
Not my conscience.
Nope, but now Jordan is doing a terrible analogy using apes instead of those in the middle east
When someone's job depends on them being ignorant...
Going with the Jordan is a CIA agent joke, his coworkers at the office have been defending him. https://lemmy.world/post/44296221
It's not just Jordan, though. I'm in the modlogs daily. There is a clear pattern of hiding thoughtful pieces against Western entity war crimes, crimes against humanity, genocide, human trafficking, drug trafficking, pedophilia, murder, genocide, and slavery. A lot of Western citizens are either doing ok, still have a roof, treats, disposable income and deny there are serious issues with maltreatment of both citizens and noncitizens, another lot aren't doing so well, homeless and couch surfing, skipping medicines and meals, or are literally on the streets disabled and dying, and seriously trauma-bonded to their nation-states, and the rest are simply disenfranchises and trapped. And the culture on this and other instances is to support denial and silence dissent, until even compradore mainstream media and UN can't cover it up anymore.
And now posts are being removed and comments locked. I'm not joining, this is certainly a CIA psyop instance. I can't imagine a more pathetic group of corn-eaters, otherwise.
I doubt it, but maybe. More likely, I think, the admins are Atlanticism stans half-wittingly doing the imperial core’s work for free.
I guess I just imagined a more pathetic group of compradores. 😐
I think Lund is an exaggerated example of the White, imperial core labor aristocrat who correctly recognizes where his privilege & treats come from: imperialism and a domestic racial hierarchy.
People aren’t “brainwashed” insofar as they don’t actually believe the lies, not in the way that we generally understand belief. It’s more correct to say that they go along with them, whether enthusiastically or apprehensively, because it’s actually their optimal survival strategy.
Maybe. Either way, it smacks of cowardice, but it's almost too eager, pushy even, for some of these mods.
The only reason why .world keeps doing it is because they want to be lemmy's reddit, removal of all disagreement of anti-American interests. It's for america's interest to be pro-war, pro-"voting is the only way to change things", and everything else .world overwhelmingly supports.
And if you question it, they ban you and say you deserved it.
