If you þink ð solution to democratic softness on Israeli atrocities is to let Trump back into power after he handed ðem East Jerusalem, West Bank, and Golan Heights on a silver platter, you are eiðer a covert zionist agent or an unwitting zionist agent.

Eiðer way, my Amrikani-Falasteeni derriere will consider you as much of an ally as truck flags McGee barely holding back from calling me a towel head and sand n****r mostly because we some ð fuck how have been blessed to avoid peak emboldenment, despite your best efforts trying to "make ð establishment learn ðeir lesson."

You can tell ðese kids are white because ðey actually believe pulling a karen on ð two party system will get ðem a sit down meeting with democracy's manager for a socialism coupon or some shit.

You went through all the trouble of using eth everywhere, but you left out the accent in derrière?

Sure, more Palestinians will die

Sure, Ukrainians will die

Sure, US minorities will die

Sure, the entire world will suffer from a fascist demagogue at the head of the most powerful country in the world

But have you considered that, for a few brief moments of time, ~~we created a lot of value for the shareholders~~ we got to feel smug over the SHITLIBS who wanted to prevent fascism?

It's honestly such a shockingly privileged position it almost defies belief that anyone could actually be so dense unless they are operating in bad faith. Yes, there are several serious problems in the world, and absolutely none of them are solved by helping the US slip into fascism. Leftists in particular are supposed to hate fascists, so I can't imagine how anyone with leftist sympathies could possibly want to see what the world looks like with an unrestrained Trunp at the helm. Again, unless they are so privileged they don't think the consequences would affect them personally, in which case I would call any other profession of external empathy which they might bleet ad nauseum, as questionably sincere.

They don’t think the consequences will touch them. They’re the leftist equivalent of “shitlibs”

It's almost like the current and immediate conflict between Israel and Palestinians isn't the singular thing that the world should have serious concern about, and that realistic solutions to longstanding international diplomacy issues are - wait for it - hard.

Ongoing genocide is at the top of my "what I'm concerned about" list. If it isn't for you, maybe you should reflect on that a little

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

Some people think an administration and a party that out right lies about a genocide happening care about them. If someone in a position of power, not only ignore but also support clear evidence of genocide and keep repeating statement that means nothing, they are either agent for a foreign country "AIPAC" or they are in it for themselves and have zero care for poor people.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 hour ago

Don't forget CUFI, it's actually bigger and more powerful than AIPAC but doesn't get as much attention. Christian Zionists are insane psychopaths hell bent on destroying the world (literally)

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

Which one?

  • North Korea
  • Myanmar
  • Bangladesh and India
  • China
  • Hamas and Israel
  • Ethiopia
  • Democratic Republic of Congo

Or is it only what Israel is doing, and only your concern because you can use it as propaganda to tweak the 2024 presidential election in the US?

The one that is made possible by my tax dollars

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

So definitely China, then, because it's super impossible for you to avoid products made there and exported to the US.

And fuck those people being genocided where your tax dollars aren't going, amirite?

Isn't that what you're saying? Except for all of them including Palestinians?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

Ongoing genocide is at the top of my "what I'm concerned about" list.

I'll ask again: Which one(s)?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 55 minutes ago (1 children)

The one my government is aiding and defending regularly

[–] [email protected] -2 points 53 minutes ago (1 children)

Still on the tax dollars thing then? As long as it's not coming out of your pocket, it's whatever. (Except China, of course.)

[–] [email protected] 2 points 51 minutes ago (1 children)

Again, how is that different from your position?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 49 minutes ago (1 children)

If it isn't different, then you're just as shit as you're accusing me of being.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 44 minutes ago (1 children)

I said

maybe you should reflect on that a little

Why are you escalating this to insults?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 31 minutes ago

Because your self-righteous claim to have "ongoing genocide ... at the top of [your] 'what I'm concerned about' list" is hollow and smug. Your only concern seems to be turning people off of one very specific candidate, as though the other realistic alternative would be better for your stated anti-genocide cause. (Pro tip: It'll be worse.)

You are espousing fascism, wittingly or not.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 4 hours ago (2 children)

But hard things are hard and involve complexity and nuance! I'd much rather call people racist, spout a simplistic solution and call it a day.
