Fuck off with that false equivalence

[+] Confidant6198@lemmy.ml -9 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Democrats are literally complicit in the genocide. How is that false equivalency?

[–] gravitas_deficiency@sh.itjust.works 7 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Because there’s a material difference between “absolute fucking asshole who won’t stop supplying those murdering fucks with weapons” and “absolute fucking asshole who is going to send squadrons of B-52s to pound Gaza and the West Bank into grade #8 gravel and break ground on the brand new beachside Trump Tower Gaza”.

I am genuinely so fucking sick of explaining that there’s a fucking difference here. If you can’t see that there is a difference, I don’t think I can help you with your cranial-rectal inversion problem.

Okay, I am so sorry that I didn't realize that we are doing light genocide. That makes it so much better now. /s

Are you seriously out of your mind!? Gaza has been reduced to a graveyard of children. Democrats have done this and they are literally fascists for doing this. Republicans literally won't make any difference. Your level of being a democrat fanboy is unreal.

Complicit? Check. Implicated in definite war crimes? Most probably. Fascist? Not quite... We throw terms around a bit lightly, and all it does is muddy the waters and make the term carry less weight.

They are literally the ones funding the genocide and sending people to enlist in the IDF to keep doing the genocide and weapons for the genocide. This is literally the Democrats genocide, no matter how you spin it.

You know, there’s a very, very small part of me that wants Trump to win so you can watch in horror as the casualty rate for Palestinians skyrockets by 10x or more, just so I can scream in your ear

I fucking told you so

I of course hope he loses, because an actual (as in, not hyperbolic/agitprop) fascist regime being in charge of the US would be incredibly catastrophic in FAR more areas and contexts than just Gaza.

Man, you are so deluded in your blue MAGA disinformation that you think that people who are currently doing a genocide are better than a supposedly boogie man that will do a “worse genocide”. It was Trump too that denied the existence of a Palestinian state. Oh no it was literally Biden today who did that. Democrats are fascists doing ethnic cleansing!

So, what, we should vote for Trump, which will lead to a Republican victory and the authoritarian Christian Nationalists taking over the US government? Or should we vote for some random third party, which will lead to a Republican victory and the authoritarian Christian Nationalists taking over the US government?

You are debating in bad faith. I encourage you to aspirate on a satchel of Richards.

Somebody doesn't comprehend the definition of "fascist".

https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/fascism

"a political philosophy, movement, or regime (such as that of the Fascisti) that exalts nation and often race above the individual and that stands for a centralized autocratic government headed by a dictatorial leader, severe economic and social regimentation, and forcible suppression of opposition"

Take this 1 at a time:

"exalts nation and often race above the individual" - Trump, yes. Harris, no.

"stands for a centralized autocratic government" - Trump, yes. Harris, no.

"headed by a dictatorial leader" - Trump, yes. Harris, no.

"severe economic and social regimentation" - Trump, yes. Harris, no.

"forcible suppression of opposition" - Trump, yes. Harris, no.

The most superficial understanding of fascism. The original definition by Benito Mussolini was that fascism is corporatism because it is a merger of state and corporate power. Both parties very clearly represent the corporate class first and foremost.
