The opposition to Zionist Israel has been growing slowly for a long time. I only learned about it in 2011 (though it wasn’t difficult to convince me that Israel and the US support was out of line).

Gas prices are immediate consequences. Its damn near impossible for people outside the US to know how vital car ownership is. As an example, I have a close friend who has split custody of her child, but the dad lives about a 45 minute drive away in a very tiny town. No buses or trains (not even tracks) between the two. And a 45 minute drive on highways at 65mph. (No she didnt support the war before this FYI).

This is considered “nearby.” I have a friend with a 140 mi round trip commute. My parents are a 20 minute drive away. A large chunk of the rest of my family is a 9 hour drive away. Buses, trains, bikes, its all not a thing we can do.

Gas prices isn’t about the cost to drive. Gas prices directly impact our entire lives. (Thank fuck I have an EV now).

Don’t try to explain technology to them. It won’t work.

VPNs?

… ok good luck
