And liberals and self proclaimed leftists will defend these neo liberals while shutting down brown people for feeling unsafe.
Shit I’m Israeli and this reminds me of home, 2 big fascist parties who control what’s considered a political possibility. Anyone who tries to make others just look at the shit situation they’re in, voting between an evil, and the other, greater evil it uses as legitimization to it’s own existence, anyone who’ll try to make other look at the greater picture is considered a traitor.
As if legitimizing and empowering racists isn’t being a traitor to one’s own humanity.
Wish we had a space for letting out steam about this situation, instead of having to attract this kind of attention everywhere we go.

I don’t think there’s a way to make the community private to just members, but it could be set to local only. That might help but I’m not sure how much it would change, I think it’d still show up on the local feed on slrpnk.net. I just see it there, so I’m not sure how other people from other instances find it.
That said, from recent conversations I get the impression that at least some members want this to reach lots of people and scold/shame them, so this community might not be a good candidate for a dedicated ‘letting off steam’ spot. I do hope you’re able to find one.
For me it’s more about finding community, me being Israeli kinda means I’m alone, in thinking the way i do. This makes for a creeping feeling of going insane, like I’m just “seeing things” and should keep to myself, this isn’t healthy, these kinds of posts, even when meaning to scold and agitate, make me feel like there’s someone to talk to. Too bad they’re busy arguing tho lol
I think I can see that. It’s a deeply surreal feeling, when it seems like your whole society sincerely believes something you think is obviously wrong.
So instead of “Democrats,” it should say “Netanyahu.”
And also, Trump has a machine gun, and the Democrats are sitting in the corner saying, “Hey, don’t do that. I don’t think you should do that.” They don’t seem to be doing much other than that.
And the same people who are screaming about how the Democrats bought the bullets in the first place are also, for the most part, screaming that Trump will do 10 times worse, and please don’t elect him. Also he wants to walk outside and start shooting all kinds of random people all over the apartment complex. Also he wants to give Netanyahu his second machine gun so Netanyahu can go through the apartment finishing off the guy’s family. He’s really mad about the whole “Hey, don’t do that,” thing.
I am glad that you are safe enough to not be able to see a difference between Kamala Harris’s sometime reprehensible foreign policy, and Trump who simply wants to burn the world and kill the children. Not everyone has that luxury. Please don’t subject them to Trump, while you’re making your little meme.
Fuck you Americans with your privilege to not be fucking genocided with US made bombs. Do you think a Palestinian child cares if the bomb that kills them is is sent by Harris or Trump? Take a fucking stance for once jesus christ.
You think I have privilege to not see a difference??? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. WHAT PRIVILEGE? The privilege to be shot at by American bullets? The privilege for Biden to support the murderous and corrupt regime in my country? The privilege for American imperialism to rob my country? To the global south, THERE IS NO DIFFERENCE. Both Democrats and Republicans are imperialist bastards. Both Trump and Harris would facilitate Wall Street looting my country.
You’re the one with privilege to go around and think you have a choice. But no matter your choice, it will mean robbery and death for my people and the people of the Global South.
Have you checked with the Iranians on this? Or seen what some of the leaders of the “uncommitted” movement feel about it, or for that matter the Ukrainians?
They can’t vote too, so why would you care? They’re just abstract people for you to moralize about. The Iranians and Ukrainians I know are anti-imperialist while being opposed to their own governments.
Oh, interesting. Very interesting.
The Iranians you know have no particular feeling about Trump? That’s very interesting. Do you want to check with them again? Maybe ask them specifically about him, if it hasn’t come up in conversation with them maybe?
Oh you mean the Iranian anarchists? Yeah they hate trump, but they hate voting more. Yeah I’ve checked in with them.
Yeah, every time I talk with anarchists in the global south, that’s exactly what they say. They say, we hate that people in the United States vote. It’s the worst thing in the world. All their flyers talk about it, all their lectures touch on it. I’m surprised that stance doesn’t get more publicity. I mean, if they were able to get fewer people in the US to vote, all of a sudden things would get better for them. Clearly.
Really proud that you’re voting for genocide huh? Real proud. If I were voting for Harris, I’d feel nothing but shame because there was nothing else I could do. You made your choice to be proud of her program of genocide.
While you wait for the perfect candidate the world will burn around you.
The world is already burning around me. I’m not asking for perfection. I’m asking to stop burning the world around me. I’m asking to stop a genocide. I’m asking to stop sending weapons to genocidaires. I’m asking to stop moving to the goddamn right and pandering to the right. I’m asking to save trans lives.
Also I can’t vote in your Hitlerite election anyway so what would it matter.
You can’t vote in our election, so you’re trying to make sure the absolute worst happens in the US? You’re unwittingly helping to plot your own demise. That’s not helping anybody, that’s vengeance.
You can’t vote in our election, so you’re trying to make sure the absolute worst happens in the US?
Don’t forget the absolute worst happening in the Middle East, to the world’s climate policy, in Ukraine, and god knows where else. That will happen also.
“Trying to make sure the absolute worst happens” HAHAHAHA. Don’t kid yourself. You think you’re so important with your little vote. You think I can affect your election? Laughable. I’m posting because I’m pissed off and it lets off steam, not because I am deluded by own agency.
You could, instead, help post agitprop for change, lord knows we need it. Posting agitprop to make things even worse than the bad that they already are is not that.
Get your head out of your ass. No agitprop will spark a revolution. No posting will. Stop deluding yourself with your own self-importance. Or my importance for that matter. I’m not “making things worse,” I am showing the truth and y’all can’t handle it. Y’all would rather vote for genocide, your own included. The revolution will not be televized or posted. I happen to do real good work but I don’t post about it and never will.
Why would you not?
Why prioritize instead something that won’t have any impact?
The things I do have impact. Posting isn’t a priority. Though it clarifies who my enemies are, those who would not see genocide as a deal breaker.
Democrats know Harris is a bad candidate.
Dems never cite her actual record to defend her, they only ever change the topic to Trump.
The mental gymnastics performances will continue until the election when the floodgates will burst with hindsight.
“No fair pointing out that the other guy wants to kill the children and burn the world! I want to know: How good is the alternative. It better be fantastic. Like really good. Or else I don’t care.”
(Kamala Harris’s record is fine, but it barely matters. If one item on the menu is rat poison and the other is edible food, I don’t need to know how many Michelin stars the food got.)
“Kamala Harris has a FINE record of genocide, defending wrongful convictions (George Gage and Daniel Larsen) and supporting hundreds of millions in border wall funding!”
it barely matters.
At least you admit your immunity to facts and logic.
the other is edible food,
Perhaps the most generous description of Harris I have heard so far.

They know she’s an indefensible cop in a post-George Floyd world.
