I really do feel like I'm taking crazy pills with libs this election. The last two they at least had a bloodless rationale to the "lesser of two evils" rhetoric.

But this is genocide, the canonical Worst Thing You Can DO! I know many just believe that it's not a genocide at all because Palestinian civilians are all Hamas and just subhuman or that the videos published by official IOF channels are all deepfaked by the hungry ghost of Nasrallah. But then just FUCKING SAY IT and then we can call you a genocide denier and we'll know where we stand!

What I can't get is that many do seem to agree it's a genocide and Kamala is complicit. But then they lesser evil by going "Well if we don't vote then Trump will do bad things to trans people here."

Like Fuck You! You scheming, gaslighting bloody handed monster!

Either this is just a disingenuous argument to get your team in power or to maintain liberal civility politics, in which case double Fuck You that you think people are abstract political tools.

Or, you actually believe this, and the freedom of an LGBT person here outweighs the lives of 2 million people, many LGBT, who happen to have had the extreme misfortune to be born 5 cm over the border and thus outside your ability to feel empathy.

In which case Triple Fuck You, because you are, somehow, more of a fascist than Trump. At least Trump is too incoherent to make a complete argument for fascist policy!

I'm going mad, I really am. How can people be streamed genocide live on CNN and just say "well, I guess we're ok with genocide now!" Is the US public even human?! Even the fucking Germans had the good sense to pretend to look guilty after they lost.

Liberals get so scratched when you tell them that you're a marginalized person who wants them to fuck off.

They love to exploit the hell out of the underprivileged (unless said underprivileged people are Arab Americans) to make their case as to why you have to vote

Racial justice, women's rights, and LGBTQ+ equality are all just tools they use to act as if they're any less bourgeois, chauvinistic, and ultimately fascist in nature than Republicans.

I'm convinced this is why they let the interracial marriage supreme court case become a reich-winger brainworm. You can't convince me that's not going to become a cudgel down the line, either; if this doesn't work, it'll be us next. "ooooOOOOOoooo, they're gonna force you back into Jim Crow" like we won't just start shooting at that point.

I've been accused of being a secret Trumper, a Chinese infiltrator, and a Russian bot multiple times. Sometimes all three at once.

[–] REgon@hexbear.net 18 points 3 weeks ago

All the "shilling/bot" accusations drive me mad. Even if I were a bot, why would that matter if what is said is legitimate criticism? It's a thought-killer.
"Oh I don't have to engage with the fact that Joe Biden has expanded fracking, because it's actually Putin telling me about it." ??? If the thing is true, why does it matter that you think Xi is saying it?

[–] Frank@hexbear.net 12 points 3 weeks ago

I wonder what they think that means. They can't really believe we're cashing checks from Xi and Putin?
