Yeah, I can see that. As a principle, I agree with it, but I'll put it behind (or maybe on-par with) the principle of identify and embarass fascists at every opportunity.
I see your point, though I don't think there are many people who would see this and think "oh wow, he did a nazi salute? Oh...he didn't? Well now I don't trust the people saying he's a fascist." If a person can't see his actions and words from what they are I don't think we're winning them over anyway.
I agree with all that, I guess I just don't see it as a problem!
He’s a dick but also a fascist so…I don’t know what’s disingenuous about it?
Boy, the democrats really should get serious then.
Again, I don’t care as much about what’s said as I do about who funds it. Maybe you’re right, and there actually is a significant difference in how may people get killed. But obviously I don’t think so, at least enough to not vote for Kamala and to have a days long conversation defending that choice.
You don’t hold someone in check by giving them $18 billion worth of guns.
Why do you think the Democrats would have pushed back? I don’t believe there’s any factual basis for that. I don’t believe they’ve even whispered a word about slowing military aid. Biden did way more to openly encourage genocide than trump has so…I don’t really understand what you mean.
Amen man, I think the democrats should do everything they can to fight like hell and beat the fascists. Including not arming a genocide (which of course, they should do for more reasons than just winning the US elections).
I absolutely cannot comprehend how them not doing that is acceptable to you, but me not voting for them is not acceptable to you lol…like they’re clearly the moral agent here. All I can do is whine about it, lodge my non-vote and get back to my life. This is their fuckin job. They have unimaginable resources to figure this out, but sure I guess fuck me for not taking my one in two hundred million part in the decision of which party of genocidal maniacs is in charge; sweet or bitter.
No, they’re not as bad, by about the same amount as Ralph is not as bad as Dirk. It doesn’t matter which you choose, they’re gonna kill a kid. It doesn’t matter whether you vote for democrats or not, tens of thousands of Palestinians will be slaughtered using our tax dollars.
I don’t know how else to put it. All the bad things that are worse under republicans are dwarfed by Palestine. Ice has killed…what, a handful of protestors and a few dozen kidnappees? It’s awful of course, but a rounding error on Palestine.
Maybe that extra rounding error of evil could have been avoided if leftists had been willing to acquiesce to the rest of it…maybe. But it definitely would have been avoided if the democrats had changed, and so would so much else.
You seem to be able to accept unquestioningly that the democrats won’t stop arming a genocide (I don’t, they need to change or else the US is fucked, even if they win. Best we can hope for then is a rapid collapse). I think you should also accept that lots of people will not vote to arm a genocide.
That’s your point, my point is the democrats and republicans are both fascists and it doesn’t matter that much which you choose. Voting for the “less bad” fascist to kill the older kid isn’t working “effectively” against the fascists.
Ok, I’m gonna keep my focus and ire on the fascists. I’ll leave you to spend time and energy backseat driving Sophie’s choice.
You gotta be trolling me man. You're gonna blame Sophie?
I think some of these may be cool responses to the things Leninists say "when asked about their plan to dissolve the state and transition to stateless society," other than "it's going to disappear...like a miracle." ;) You have any you recommend?
If there is a job for a british monarch to do it is to return stolen property and apologize all day every day until they die or abdicate. Anything such a person does to enjoy themselves is spitting on everyone whose murder and suffering made that enjoyment possible.
The only exception being a good shit. They should be able to do that in peace, and that's something they can do without access to their stolen wealth.
