Biden's entire career has been marked by extreme Zionism. If senility is used to excuse his actions that are in line with what he has always believed, it's like excusing Hitler's role in the holocaust because he used meth heavily.
Yeah but low key you're blaming Ronald McDonald for a bad hamburger as bill Hicks would say. The great man theory of history from a Marxist perspective is suspect at best. Biden is a product. Cut, paid for. You think shillary or even Trump would have said stop the genocide? I doubt it.
That's not the point. No one is saying Biden is a great man. We're saying he's not completely impotent. He's aware of what's going on. He agrees with it. He's spent his whole career supporting it and helping to make it happen.
All of them are guilty. The CEO of McDonalds, the past CEOs, every district and branch manager, anyone at corporate who ever signed a form making a worse hamburger. I hold Biden as accountable as I do any other democrat or any republican because he has an active individual role in it. He isn't a great man, he's just one more guilty man. His guilt is especially magnified because he is currently the only person in the country who could end the genocide with one phone call that he individually refuses to make. If someone else was in that chair or had a phone which could also make that call, they would be just as guilty.
Well it's a good thing we hate hillary and trump here then
It’s not great man theory to say Biden is a unique piece of shit who deserves to die lmao. Jesus. I swear some people think personal responsibility is nonexistent just because some piece of shit thinks one man is responsible for everything. I don’t care if there are 500 Bidens right after him. You should still kill baby Hitler if given the Choice because 1 dead fascist means 1 dead fascist.
Biden is a functionary of capital but does wield real power. If he wanted to, he could force Israel to end the assault on Gaza.
The fact that he doesn't want to do that is important, and is part of why he's supported by capital, but it doesn't change the fact that he bears responsibility and that if someone else had that power they might not have that blood on their hands. Biden should be tried and found guilty of war crimes, for example.
Also Biden's history and personality do make a difference. Capital shapes broad strokes and only occasionally makes specific asks. Biden is a raging Zionist and bigot that gladly supports the state department, intelligence, propaganda, and military apparatus in their backing of Israel. He appoints relatively competent people that work together.
That there are hundreds of ghouls waiting in the wings doesn't change the personal monstrosity of it.
Four more years Pause
