Is it not more like "ALL OF YOU WILL DIE" ?

I mean, Israel seems determined on their genocide.....

A large portion of the people you're referring to are Arab Americans. In fact, Trump is now leading with them. I also think Trump would be worse for Palestinians than Harris, but I doubt the best way to convince Arab Americans of that is with condescending memes about how they don't care about the Middle East.

The point of the meme isn't to convince anyone, the point is to yell at people you hate and tell yourself you're so much better than them. Any claim of "activism" and "raising awareness" is transparently false.

Everyone else is a villain huh? I'm petty sure the author thinks their view should be self-evident and doesn't understand why do many people here seem to take actions the author would never consider.

I therefore think the point of the meme is to bring some levity into what would otherwise be helpless frustration.

Have some empathy. Don't think everyone is bitter and miserable.

Sure, more Palestinians will die

Sure, Ukrainians will die

Sure, US minorities will die

Sure, the entire world will suffer from a fascist demagogue at the head of the most powerful country in the world

But have you considered that, for a few brief moments of time, ~~we created a lot of value for the shareholders~~ we got to feel smug over the SHITLIBS who wanted to prevent fascism?
