Vindication feels awful here, honestly.
Negative messaging works, as much as people like to pretend it doesn't.
If you saw a literal fascist openly declaring fascist things, and your response to the milquetoast opposition is "Well, you're not seperated enough, stylistically", you're not much more than a fascist enabler.
In what fucking way is "Not fascism" not a better vision than "Literal fucking fascism"?
Ah, it's just like being on Lemmy!
Ah, yes, humanity is the first and foremost thing to be respected, which is why LGBT Americans have been served to fascists on a silver platter as a protest vote. Peak humanity.
Oh great, this point again. They changed the meaning of the word ceasefire they were using. They tried to coopt the term into a meaningless one, while Muslims meant a ceasefire with actual effort and teeth behind it, meaning some sort of leverage, not the meaningless one of the Biden administration.
Keel in mind that Biden is still President and they completely ignored the letter they sent before about Israel having thirty days to change their human rights violations. So they clearly don't give a shit even though they don't even have to worry about reelection anymore so we can't blame that.
You can't feign outrage about people served on a platter when you did that exact same thing to people undergoing an active genocide. "First they came for the Palestinians, and I ignored them, because they're not white." Is that how the poem goes? You were willing to sacrifice an entire ethnic group so you can feel comfortable. Too many Americans were. Now we're all going to suffer together, and frankly, we're going to deserve it.
If you are queer and have any way out, get out. If you can't get out, scrub your internet history as clean as you possibly can because they will hunt you down.
God I hate it but there's going to have to be a new underground railroad for pregnant women and queer and brown people...
Gay people aren't more important than Muslims
Good news! To the Republicans neither are important and they would gladly see both groups disappear, so a vote for them and a refusal to vote for the Democrats was just support for both Muslim AND LGBTQ+ genocide! Good job everyone!
Good news, genocide is genocide. You're just upset it might effect you now.
Affect.
And no, it won't affect me, I'm a white CIS hereto guy living outside the USA.
I hope you sleep comfortably knowing that your protest vote or non vote will result in the death of more Muslims. I guess they're not important to you either.
What other languages do you speak?
But no, it doesn't stop with the US, and if it's not stopped no where will be safe for you either. Mostly cis white men died in the Holocaust.
French is my first language.
I'm not Jewish either, as a baptized Catholic you don't have to worry, I'm safe, unlike those Muslims and LGBTQ+ and Ukrainians and so many more which you've condemned to genocide. Hell, even blacks, Latinos, first Nations and Arabs inside the US are in even more danger than they were because of people who didn't want to vote for the lesser of two evils or who voted for the Republicans to "teach the Democrats a lesson".
Well that lesson will be taught at the expense of a whole lot of minorities and foreigners so fuck you, especially since you recognize that you just made the whole fucking world more dangerous for everyone.
Sorry my genocide is finally affecting you, and yes it will affect you.
Hope you stop being a far right lunatic and stop supporting them.
You're the one who supported a far right lunatic and who tries to make yourself feel good by pretending that your choices don't have consequences on yourself and others. Stop blaming others and act like a fucking adult, presented with a choice between two options you chose the one that would make things worse for the people you pretend you want to protect. You cut your nose to spite your face and now you're in front of the mirror pretending it was all worth it because you can't admit to yourself that your decision just made things worse.
Good luck with your deportation, hopefully you don't get sent somewhere to die so you get to learn a lesson.
Edit: Aaaw, you're mad and you're downvoting all my previous messages, cute!
Sorry, I didnt vote for Harris, you seem to be confused. Anyway byebye rightie. Hope you feel an ounce of what you wish on others.
It would seem that they are considerably less important than virtue signaling to Muslims for many voters, yes.
Ah so we all need to respect your views, but when it comes to not wanting to support genocide label it virtue signaling.
Liberals are so pathetic. I'm sure that condescending everyone you meet will win you tons of votes.
You all spend so much time chasing fascist voters and then act so surprised when the fascists are suddenly legitimized by society.
What I am not surprised about, at all, is that all the "don't vote for her" people like yourself (apparently) are now claiming they are not in any way responsible for a fascist getting elected. It's everyone else's fault, but the person who literally said to not vote for the only other option than the fascist shares none of the blame.
And if that isn't you, you're defending people who share the blame. Which, I would say, falls into the camp of 'pathetic' as well.
Nah man, fascism is already here. If you, me, and the rest of the Democrats were willing to tolerate a genocide to keep a system enabling a genocide, then it can't be denied. We weren't delaying fascism, we just weren't the current target of it and because of that, you couldn't see it. We're all fucked but it's because of these exact attitudes that allowed dehumanization to be accepted.
I'm sorry... did you just suggest that queer and brown people deserve to be victims of a genocide because of Democrats?
Not sure what else you'd call selling out queer folk to feel good about yourself.
The DNC did that by running shit candidates back to back to back who either couldn't defeat a blatant, moronic fascist or just barely beat him by the skin of their teeth with the aid of a massive pandemic and economic turmoil fresh in everyone's mind. They sold out the whole country in favor of maintaining the status quo for their corporate masters and major donors.
I will always condescend to bigots and fascists, and I’m proud to do it. If we don’t “chase” them, they’ll win permanently.
I guess it’s easier to just roll over and pretend the biggest fascist of all is acceptable. That way you don’t have to admit that you made a bad decision, and you can spend the next four years savoring your moral victory and calling people “pathetic”. You’re awesome.
Entirely missing the point, this has to be a troll
Oh hey, the famous .world reason for mass banning of dissent and opposing positions.
Your response was a strawman. No one was saying anyone was more important than anyone else, you just tossed out that nonsense instead of trying to actually participate in a conversation.
You don't have an opposing position, you just want to be contrarian and make outrageous statemens, which is just a fancy way to say you're a troll. Maybe it's famous because a lot of people like you troll and get called out for that nonsense.
But queer people domestically are apparently far less important than Muslims in another country.
But I look forward to the people who told me "there won't be a genocide of queer people" telling me that the genocide isn't happening.
They just shut put their hands over their eyes whenever I showed them this after all...
Sorry your support of genocide might now effect you
It’s like the literal progression of the poem and people still act surprised.
I have a long history here on Lemmy. Let's see if you can find one single comment where I support genocide.
Affect.
