>>2832849This is very similar to the confederate myth that black people would take revenge and kill white people if they were freed.
That didn't happen.
The British Empire collapsed and not every Brit was executed.
The Third Reich was defeated and not ever German was executed.
Americans and Israelis ending their genocide against Gaza will not likely result in Americans and Israelis being under a bunch of rubble.
That is fear mongering meant to inspire further complicity.
The narrative that every westerner, from the lowliest worker all the way up to the richest billionaire, benefits from imperialism, genocide, etc, only serves to manufacture indifference towards foreign policy. But if my government goes around making the whole world hate me in exchange for a few trifles… that is not in my long term benefit. It is in my benefit to fight imperialism.
Just like the "treatler" narrative seeks to flatten all westerners and make them seem equally complicit, the "ZOG" narrative seeks to make the American masses seem like just as big of victims of zionism as Palestinians. Both narratives are false. Americans are not as big of victims of zionism as palestinians, nor are they equally benefiting from their zionism as their ruling class. The truth is much more ambiguous, and it is this ambiguity that precisely allows these oversimplistic "all or nothing" narratives to take a hold of people, because thinking is hard, and submitting to a reactionary narrative is much easier.
