wild to me how many people are upset by “i find genocide unacceptable and won’t vote for anyone who has it as part of their policies”
they treat it as if it’s some kind of insane opinion and not, like, the bare fucking minimum in terms of ethics???
I feel like there was a time when voting for the “lesser genocide” would have just been presented as a hypothetical to show the logical extreme of lesser evil voting, but somewhere along the line people just started advocating that openly and unironically.
i’m convinced that it’s because people considered it in theory only; disconnected from the real human preventable tragedy that it is.
now social media is making it difficult to ignore the impact of this human tragedy and it’s forcing people to add their humanity to that theoretical consideration.
i’m also convinced that the age/id verification systems that all western gov’ts are currently implementing are geared towards returning us to a state of giving greater emphasis on theory rather than humanity.
I think there’s also an element of online spaces promoting the “extreme” version of every idea. The same way the right is so much more overt and unapologetic about racism, the “centrist” types go to the unapologetic extreme of, “The lesser evil, no matter how evil” with no concern about alienating people who aren’t on board with that. It’s like the one thing they get to have a “this but unironically” or “yes Chad” response to.
agreed. if they stopped and realized that lesser evil is still evil, they would stop trying to defend it.
inb4 the liberals VoTE BlUE every1!!!
Y’all our foreign policy towards Israel hasn’t changed in the last 65 years. Yes, both sides serve them.
So we have to strip that out of the system, since burning the system down doesn’t seem feasible.
Which party do you think is most likely to see the light on them… hmm

How’s that blue MAGA brunch going?
Or we can be part of making that a condition of the democrats doing well. Not supporting a genocide isn’t something we can or should “strip out” of our expectations of politicians. If you’re right, then burning the system down is the only feasible thing. Nothing else is feasible.
It’s infeasible to expect decent people to rally around genocidiers.
Don’t let the people with power tell you what is or isn’t feasible. Not supporting a genocide is easy for them. They may lie to themselves about it, but it’s obvious.
Neither party can nor will see the light on this, as both are instruments of capital. The working classes need their own party.

PSL, duh.
“Our country is unalterabley genocidal, so we shouldn’t worry about it or try to stop it.”
Lmao can you imagine if the world worked like that? So funny. Anyway, back to reality. You’re doing work that only benefits the fascists, so maybe stop being a fasc op
Being anti genocide is now a fasc op: jokes from a fasc apologist
Thats not what Im saying and you know it. The unrealistic part is pretending both sides are the same
That’s literally what you said
Ha, you still think there are two sides
This is the peak of “accuse other people of what you’re guilty of yourself”
