Tourism often doesn’t benefit the people living in these towns. The hotels and Airbnbs are usually owned by outsiders and big companies. The people living and working in a tourist town often don’t see much benefits, besides that their town is now very expensive, regular people are forced to move out, making it harder to have a regular store, because all your customers are now tourists. If too much of a town serves tourism it’s typically bad for the regular inhabitants.
Israel is the aggressor too, violently colonizing and ethnically cleansing the local population. The Palestinians are just defending themselves against their own destruction. But it’s an unfair fight, because they only have small make-shift rockets against Israel with a big army and getting billions from the biggest empire in the world.
The fact that Israel has a democracy is of no concern to the civilians in Gaza being bombed and starved to death. In fact, it makes it worse: Russians can’t vote out their government, but Israelis can.
From Wikipedia:
Fearful of the potential impact the slave rebellion could have in the slave states, U.S. President Thomas Jefferson refused to recognize the new republic. The Southern politicians who were a powerful voting bloc in the American Congress prevented U.S. recognition for decades until they withdrew in 1861 to form the Confederacy.
Later:
Fearing possible foreign intervention, or the emergence of a new government led by the anti-American Haitian politician Rosalvo Bobo, President Woodrow Wilson sent U.S. Marines into Haiti in July 1915. The USS Washington, under Rear Admiral Caperton, arrived in Port-au-Prince in an attempt to restore order and protect U.S. interests. Within days, the Marines had taken control of the capital city and its banks and customs house. The Marines declared martial law and severely censored the press. Within weeks, a new pro-U.S. Haitian president, Philippe Sudré Dartiguenave, was installed and a new constitution written that was favorable to the interests of the United States. The constitution (written by future US President Franklin D. Roosevelt) included a clause that allowed, for the first time, foreign ownership of land in Haiti, which was bitterly opposed by the Haitian legislature and citizenry.
That’s how it should be though. Everybody is equal under the law, so you shouldn’t punish undocumented immigrants harder than civilians.
The “fuck immigrants over” party is not popular with immigrants. Big surprise.
Republicans fuck over so many people, then they have to resort to crazy schemes like gerrymandering and voter suppression to not lose all the time. If they want to win, maybe do more popular things! This also goes for Joe Biden: all this complaining about leftist not voting for him, but he does nothing to convince them either.
Ah yes, all those Leninist politicians that are showing up all over Europe and winning elections…
Liberals hurt plenty of people. They enact austerity that have hurt many poor people. They care more about money than human well-being. They often vote for sanctions that do nothing but hurt regular people. And historically have always sided with fascists when it comes down to it.
