  • Let’s actually talk through this instead of jumping to accusing me of being fascist. Because I’m betting we agree on more than you think, I just hate the dismissal of the complex factors that caused the shitstorm that got Trump elected again.

    Democrats are complicit in enabling genocide in Palestine. Full stop. We should not support Israel, and the fact that that’s the default position even in the supposed “moderate” party is an utter disgrace.

    That said, it’s possible for more than one genocide to happen at once, and I don’t think it’s unreasonable to say that that’s worse than one genocide abetted politicians that are at least more prone to influence from the electorate than the default Republican position of “fuck you if you disagree with us, we’ll kill you, too.” Now we have open and direct threats of genocide from our own state against Iran, not to mention the trans genocide happening at home.

    The “strong and weak” argument does apply to the same people who claim that the Democrats shouldn’t have lost but also deserve to lose for enabling Israel. The fact of the matter is it took both for the world’s most prolific child rapist to become president. The Democrats had to fumble the bag in the most depraved way possible, and that was openly and actively exploited by foreign actors to confuse voters at home into thinking there was no point in voting. There was, and we’re learning that the hard way now.

    Considering that the only way that Ukraine could’ve avoided being attacked, pillaged, having had their women raped and schools and hospitals bombed, and been locked into a forceful quagmire over their own goddamn home is if they didn’t miss the window to join NATO in the first place.

    Like, you can play word games and place rhetorical traps all you want, it doesn’t stop you from looking like an idiot for carrying water for the biggest crybully on planet Earth.






  • No, that’s just not true, I moved from ml to world because I made one fucking comment about Russia being a right-wing authoritarian country and some asshole followed me to every thread calling me a capitalist pig, even on shit like dog photos and memes. There’s no getting Lemmy to critical mass while ml is the flagship.

    Edit: Yes, I know I could’ve also made a new account on ml to shake them off, but at that point it became a question about the ethics of indirectly supporting the people there.
