  • I remember when people were shocked that Latino voters swung towards Trump compared to previous elections. To say that that's 'blaming Mexicans' or immigrants would be an astounding interpretation of that.

  • no? literally no leftists side with maga (except for maga communism, but that’s fringe).

    You're not reading the extremely simple comic very well, then.

    Dems worked against Trumps opponents in 2015 in the hopes that the electorate would see how bad Trump is and deliver an easy Dem win. It didn't work like that.

    Leftists have been quite openly on here salivating over how working against Kamala and delivering Trump, and Trump being nakedly bad will lead to either the American people or the world as a whole seeing just how bad neoliberalism is, and deliver the long-awaited Revolution(tm). That's just as fucking stupid.

  • Anything has got to be better than the status quo.

    Spoken like a true child of privilege without any imagination - or understanding of conditions outside of your cozy status quo, ironically.

  • It’s not all about you. Remind me again, why are American lives more important than Iraqi lives or Palestinian lives?

    Remind me again which Iraqi or Palestinian lives are you saving by bootlicking Nazis?

    You want to pretend to be doing this for marginalized groups, but the awful truth is, you're only doing it at the expense of marginalized groups. But hey, at least you didn't have to express solidarity with someone who was LIBERAL, right? That would be an awful price to pay for millions of human lives.

  • good dodging, but my question was different.

    This you?

    I respect the american will, they voted for this. It’s good for the world. These minorities didn’t care about the kids in gaza and have a way out compared to them. Why should I care?

  • One of the great cruelties of living through 'interesting times' is that life still goes on.

    Subsistence farmers in Medieval Europe living through countless wars, economic turmoil, and the Black Plague in the 14th century AD still had to get up, sow the fields, secure the granary from vermin, pay their lord's taxes, etc. No amount of horror stopped life from going on. It just... continues. Same in accounts of civilian life in WW1 and WW2.

    There's no moment where most personal stories turn into a continuous tale of heroic resistance, or of valiant martyrdom. Even the heroes and martyrs have to live day-to-day; it's just that certain parts of their story are more memorable than others.

  • I just asked a question and you couldn’t reply.

    The question you asked necessarily rejects any presumption that you have solidarity with the oppressed.

    Sorry that you have no greater conception of politics other than "Supporting fascism and the murder of minorities is okay as long as they're part of Bad Camp"

    Were you sad for the nazi when the allies bombed them?

    I wasn't fucking celebrating Germany electing the Nazis, or saying that German Jews deserved their fate at the hands of the Nazis.

  • Is that true though?

    Somalia, Rwanda, Yugoslavia, Afghanistan (thrice), Sudan, Iraq, Syria, Libya, South Sudan, Yemen...

    Yes. It's very true.

  • I respect the american will, they voted for this. It’s good for the world. These minorities didn’t care about the kids in gaza and have a way out compared to them. Why should I care?

    Thanks for admitting that you never actually cared about solidarity with the oppressed except insofar as it could hurt minorities in Bad Camp, I guess?

  • "Present situation bad" is not a fucking reason to advocate for the collapse of society, which literal millions of people will die in the course of.

    I didn't realize that I had to fucking trace out that the collapse of society is bad, but I guess the OP was just too subtle.

  • How ironic considering that the entire argument you continually put forward is that the genocide in Israel is simultaneously an issue large enough to decide an election, yet small enough to evade any responsibility for deciding an election.

    Of course, I'm not sure what else should be expected from someone who plays apologist for Ukrainian genocide while pretending to decry Palestinian genocide.

  • "Any number of minorities and marginalized groups dying is okay by me as long as Bad Flag is destroyed and I don't have to think about politics on a non-tribal level"

    Yeah, that's about what I expect from Lemmy.

  • It's the most high-casualty course of events possible under most circumstances, yes. Sorry that the ample evidence of the past 200 fucking years hasn't made that clear enough for you?

  • Thank you for confirming you have no fucking idea what happens when a society collapses.

  • I mean at least yall went from blaming the immigrants to blaming the socialists for the elections so that’s still some kind of improvement.

    Fucking what.

  • Source? Your link doesn’t include this information (or even the absolute numbers of the people it polled).

    Literally just click the toplines or crosstabs links at the very top of the page.

  • Oh cool, that's totally a real and valid reason to embrace murdering as many people as possible.

  • Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, Georgia, and Michigan.

  • You do realize there are other options for opposing fascism than "A coup" right?
