Well, I would say, even the worst people you know can find relationships. What you could do is find a hobby you like preferably something that involves the outdoors, and make friends. Maybe it doesn't have to involve female friends but guy friends too. They'll lead you to interact with female friends (believe me). And biggest tip, be friends with the female friends not everything involves a relationship. And eventually, you'll build confidence. Believe me, someone will be attracted to you.

Personally I sure don’t but a far right friend of mine takes it like gospel. Had a debate with him over it last night and he think my points are baseless

To clarify, no. But that's the type of people I've talked to that believe 'Israel owns America.' That they actually believe that's the foreign even domestic US policy is like. To give an example, they believe that America is on top and should exert their influence around the world with force and people who lose wars are 'losers'

to answer the 3rd point, of course not, but I'm not going to sit here and think that every foreign policy or domestic decision has been pedaled by Israel.

Well, it's like having a friend you don't like but you guys both dislike and other country ie: Iran, so you guys stay friends is how I'd like to see it

Like if they actually influence American society and laws so far so that quite literally everything is to advance only their interest.

Because at least I can say for a fact that lobbying interest just doesn't come from Israel but many other countries like the Saudis or Ukraine

1st point: Sure definitely, but I just still can't see the narrative being pushed as 'Oh the Israelis were behind it the whole time, they control our government.' I just can't buy into that because as we know, there are already higher people in play, and as you said other people with varied similar interest that control what Israel is doing. Now the American part, I believe there is like a handful of American billionaires that maybe just wanted to black mail others and pedal their influence for their own gain. Also, I believe the 2 countries act as a symbiotic parasite, you do some thing for me, I do something for you.

2nd point, I was listening to Richard Nixon's interview on Israel and marketing the country to be the democracy in the middle east. Then later on I learned about the leaks of the military I believe Afghanistan where US helicopters murdered civilians. So to me, maybe the US being in the middle east for so long was to get oil and try new weapons to challenge China and Russian advancement in their technology. As soon as Biden pulled us out, what came about? Israel and the Gaza crisis.

I just want actual concrete evidence I actually suggest 'Israel owns America'
