No, we aren't cowards. But we didn't sign up to be sacrificed for you to sit at home and vote for democrats, you're the nice-Nazi supporting cowards.

What are you talking about? They said they're marginalized person and nothing specifically about being a liberal. They said they would die for anti-fascism pretty much and you're calling them a Nazi?

In the context of the thread, the other person w"ished harm" on liberals, and the person I replied to identified with that group.

It read like sacrificing marginalized people to return to the Democratic rule and status quo. Because liberals do deserve Trump for the lack of empathy in sacrificing us, marginalized people. Only a liberal would be so offended by that statement.

But the user who was talking about "Violent chest beating" was the other person, I thought.

But, I agree, the (mostly white) liberals who tried to compromise on Palestinians, trans people, immigrants, etc. to win absolutely deserve Trump. Idk if the marginalized people who fell for their tactics deserve it, though.

That's what I'm saying. We, who's blood is being spelt fighting fascism, are not cowards. Liberals who think voting for democrats is fighting fascism while calling for our sacrifice are.

And when fascists start exterminatinf marginalized communities, you'll let it happen to teach Liberals a lesson? Truly disgusting take...

[–] 3abas@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

Liberals are fascists, they are exterminating marginalized communities, recent examples include Biden's genocide and blue states abandoning trans people.

Slow fascism is still fascism, you just elect to sacrifice us because you think the only alternative is to also sacrifice you, when in reality the only righteous choice is for both of us to sacrifice something.

Liberals don't want to sacrifice anything, you only want to sacrifice others on your behalf. That's the truly disgusting take, and it's really fucking sad that you still don't understand what I'm saying.

They didn't wish harm on "Liberals", they wished harm on anyone targeted by fascism, so that America can become a "cautionary tale".

I never said I was a Liberal. I said I didn't want millions of queer people and people of color get slaughtered for the purpose of blaming Liberalism.

That's not a defense of Liberalism, its a defense of the human lives that will be lost if Republicans get their way.

The average American is not targeted by fascism, the only thing they are upset about is gas and grocery prices. The average liberal is not targeted by fascism, they're infinitely offended by everything Trump is doing but excuse it when their side does similar things.

You scream at us that fascism is coming and that we must sacrifice ourselves by voting for democrats that also want to wipe us out, but they are not willing to fight alongside us.

That is key, the narrative from liberals used to be "vote for democrats so we can live to fight another day", but now it's openly "vote for democrats or else more of you will be sacrificed, do you want more of you to be sacrificed?"

If we're being sacrificed either way, we won't support the side asking us to thank them for sacrificing fewer of us.

You are defending liberalism, and guilt tripping us for not supporting the side that wants to exterminate us slowly.
