"We have to support the genocide committing establishment because the other guy is definitely going to do double genocide" is just the sickest shit I have ever encountered and I really cannot think of any productive way to engage with it. The only upshot is that telling people you're voting for Trump because he has only participated in one genocide (Yemen) instead of Joe's two genocides (Yemen and Gaza) makes them very mad. But only for a few seconds before their supremely logical minds remind them that Yemen wasn't a genocide because Genocide is what the bad guys do and they're the good guys.

probably how it felt to live in weimar germany

the language of the inevitable present has become so grating to me. it's all these removed know how to say. "there's only two options! get used to it! biden is already the nominee! there's nothing we can do to save palestine! fossil fuels aren't going away but we can still cap and trade! america will never have public healthcare! the empire is gonna last forever! the republicans are gonna last forever! the democrats are gonna last forever! capital is gonna last forever! the last 10 crises were just a fluke! we're on the long flat line of progress jack, better hop on if you want to experience the coming eternity of untenable horror!"

day's gonna come

Angela Davis? Sounds like a Russian stooge

[–] chayleaf@lemmy.ml 5 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

many older Russians do remember a Soviet campaign of support for her release from prison among pioneers and others

[–] star_wraith@hexbear.net 7 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Angela Davis is very cool, I wish I knew more about her. Apparently one of her heroes is Joseph Weydemeyer, my all time favorite obscure communist.

[–] HumanBehaviorByBjork@hexbear.net 11 points 6 months ago

Her book Women, Race, and Class is an indispensable text, particularly in this period of reactionary revanchism.

Being too distant geographically from the people doing it to do anything and feeling angry and totally powerless? Yeah, chances are that'd be the case

[–] frauddogg@lemmygrad.ml 7 points 6 months ago

That was me slandering that guy's voot bloo nonsense; I don't cede that kind of grace and understanding to liberal invertebrates anymore

I'm sorry are you under the impression Trump is magically different to previous US presidents?

One dropped 2 nuclear bombs. Another invaded Cuba. Another genocided 1 fifth of the population of Korea. Another killed 2 million Iraqis and thousands of Afghanis. Another bombed Yugoslavia. Of the 248 conflicts that occurred between 1945 and 2010, 201 of them were instigated by the United States.

You people are beyond cartoons. You act like Trump is a diversion from the norm while ignoring the entire history of US presidencies. Mass murder and genocide is the United State's historical legacy. The only president that wasn't a mass murdering psychopath was the one that died immediately after being sworn in and that's solely because he didn't get a chance to do what is expected of him by the bourgeoisie.

The current guy that you are advocating for is committing a genocide RIGHT NOW and you're still advocating for him. You have become genocide supporters yourselves because you can't imagine doing anything else other than supporting D.

Unless you are North Korean, or living in a hut in Africa and tomorrow you will spend your day toiling in the sun to build a school, or are sending every additional funding you earn to feed hungry Cubans, you're just a tool too, my friend. Since you have internet access and have the time to get up on your moral soap box and respond to some stranger on the internet you know nothing about and call them cartoons, clearly you could be doing something productive and useful to the needy of the world. Are you sleeping in a comfortable bed with a roof over your head and with a full belly? Yes? Then you are the man too.

I grew up in squats and you have no idea what I've done to survive you fucking dumbass why the fuck do you think you can just say this shit to people you don't know? You know literally fucking nothing about me.

Holy fucking shit I fucking hate liberals and wish actual harm on you.

Heard this in 2020, heard this in 2016, heard this in 2012,

THIS is the MOST IMPORTANT election of our LIVES.

THIS. IS. AN. INVESTMENT. IN. DEMOCRACY!

From MLK:

"First, I must confess that over the last few years I have been gravely disappointed with the white moderate. I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro's great stumbling block in the stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen's Council-er or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate who is more devoted to "order" than to justice; who prefers a negative peace which is the absence of tension to a positive peace which is the presence of justice; who constantly says "I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I can't agree with your methods of direct action;" who paternalistically feels he can set the timetable for another man's freedom; who lives by the myth of time and who constantly advises the Negro to wait until a "more convenient season."
