A 21-second clip from a nearly four-hour rally became national news. Here we piece together what happened at the rally and afterwards.

Seems obvious to me they’re referring to the genocidal state of Israel.

When I say “fuck the United States,” I’m not talking about my mom, myself, or even my neighbor’s pet budgie. Duh.

So, the government, then?

I’m not the OP of that comment, but again:

Not sure what was unclear about that. Maybe you need to take it slowly, word by word. Best of luck to you.

Whether “state” includes the people is ambiguous.

Do we need to set up some traffic cones and a Venn diagram for you? Maybe a coordination chart?

Only to people who completely lack reading comprehension skills and/or basic understanding of English. Or trolls who actually support genocide and deliberately misconstrue things so they can argue against a strawman.

I also have a guess about which one you are.

ad hominem

Aww poor dear feels attacked. Don’t worry honey🫂

It’s ok sweetheart, here’s something that can help you understand

Is this what you are like in person?

Yes, I also help people irl

Hm. That is actually a pretty cool website. I’ve been looking for an alternative to google translate. The Wiktionary can be a little tedious at times.

But how would I use this to prove that “state” and “government” are generally synonymous in most practical contexts?

@etuomaala I’m not @LinkOpensChest_wav but I would like to chime in.

You wouldn’t need to, because we’re not talking about “most practical contexts”.

We’re only talking about contexts in which people are protesting the actions of a government.
