  • the same chuds who will say Metal Gear Solid is not political.

  • Yeah if a conservative developer made their own game with their own politics in it. I'm not going to complain about it from the angle that "games shouldn't be political"

  • Taiwanese president calls Israel 'valuable model' for defense

  • Crazy how quick libs are to excuse genocide.

    "Yeah my party does genocide but they're the lesser evil"

    "Yeah Taiwan is looking up to a genocidal state but that's okay because it's to stop China"

  • The state of popular on Reddit

    Jump

  • People don't go to popular to find out what's literally popular on the site overall, they want to find new subreddits or see popular stuff they would like.

  • The genocide that happened under Biden is the same one happening under Trump. Saying "but Trump will do more genocide" makes you sound like a fucking idiot.

    And saying "Not voting for someone who refuses to speak out on x is having an idealised moral high ground" when the x in question is a genocide makes you a genocide belittling prick.

    Also depending on where you are there's likely already anti-fascist groups.

  • The person belittling a genocide is a genocidal prick. There is no "more genocide". If genocide isn't a redline for you then you're a genocidal prick.

  • You have more power than just voting every 4 years lmao. Get organised and start interacting with like minded people and get other people on your side. Every 4 years there's 1540 days where you could be fighting fascism and you're only doing it for 1.

    Israel does not control America.

  • True. It's just important to point out that it isn't like Israel is just secretly controlling America. America is happy working with Israel and Israel is happy working with America.

    This distinction is important because it feeds into the liberal idea that the system works, there's just a few bad apples in power that need to be voted out and then genocide will stop. No, the system is functioning how it's supposed to. US imperialism benefits the bourgeois. That's why it's happening.

  • I'm so glad Hitler was voted into power and not Himmler that would've been bad.

  • The concentration camps are a perfect example. No one's saying both sides are the exact same. They're saying they both serve US imperialism. Case and point: one side wants 5 concentration camps, the other thinks that's a little too much and we should settle for 1.

    If you want to build concentration camps you're a fascist. If you're okay with a party wanting to build concentration camps or can look past it you're a fascist. You wouldn't accept someone in the 1930s saying "yeah what the nazis are doing with the Jews is bad but have you seen their treatment of animals? I'll vote for them but I'm no Nazi."

  • You cannot convince the rich and powerful that it's politically unfavourable when it's economically favourable to do genocide.

    They don't care about what people want. They care about what they want, and that's US imperialism.

  • "I won't vote for someone who isn't speaking about X" is an idealized moral high ground when the alternative is not only X getting worse, but even more X happening.

    Fuck you you genocidal prick. Substituting genocide for "x" is disgusting. It's not "oh there's just this one bad thing". It's genocide. It's literally the worst possible thing you can do on this planet. And you're saying other people have an idealised moral high ground because they think GENOCIDE is something that should never be done.

  • Tis a silly place

    Jump

  • I already checked meanwhileongrad and saw someone lying about a user supporting genocide.

    I checked the modlog and saw instances of things on the lines of "oh I knew you guys were just tankies".

    So let's quit this stupid game.

    You show me an example of someone actually advocating for genociding Uyghur muslims or admit you're just making shit up to justify hating people you disagree with. There's "entire communities" so you shouldn't have much trouble.

  • Those are examples of social welfare not socialism.

    Socialism is when the workers own the means of production not when the government does stuff.

  • Even strict dictatorships have elections to gauge how much support they have. They're limited in how far they can go before spawning a revolution. Just because votes aren't capable of inacting actual change against the ruling class's interests doesn't mean it isn't useful. By voting for a third party you're showing solidarity with the movement and demonstrating how the current system is a sham. By voting for the system you only legitimise it and give the rulers the excuse to say they're acting legally and with the will of the people.

  • because until you can change the hearts and minds of millions of people, then it's always going to be one of them.

    You're admitting to being one of the millions of people that votes and therefore legitimises the construction of concentration camps.

    You're a fascist.

  • but all they really care about is money and influence.

    Correct.

    That is why they maintain American imperialism.

    Such as funding a genocide in the middle east.

  • Hell yeah brother. Personally I think Hitler was fucking great and would vote for him in a heartbeat if it meant stopping Himmler from being in charge. /s
