So there is some missing context. The posters I was replying to had the position that voting was completely worthless. So much so, that even discussing it was a waist of time.
Yeah, as a leftist, I don't defend Biden. In fact I think, for the most part, Democrats are controlled opposition, and given time will become more fascist thanks to capital.
My argument isn't that Democrats will make things better. It is they will make things worse at a slower pace compared to republicans. Giving more time to organize.
Voting is like bringing a knife to a battle with assault rifles. Yeah, it probably isn't going to be useful, but if it is all you can carry, it is better than nothing. And until they figure out how to make skin cut resistant, there is always a possibility of doing some damage.
That being said, in a very morbid way, the damage that the second Trump term is doing is very public and the admiration is doing a bad job covering it up. An the leftist organization that has been happening so far, has been good, but not enough. So, it might turn out that the accelerationist position has the least loss of life. I think the acceleration bet is still too rich for my blood. To much of a chance for things to go very badly.
Thanks for the detailed comment. I don't plan on taking it too seriously. The comments that weren't banned show that it isn't a serious place. At least I have a good reason not to interact with that server anymore. The only reason I comment there is in the hopes that some see the hypocrisy and get to a better place.
Yeah I agree. My tummy hurt replying to that post because I knew I was going to get more insane replies. And I got them. As some one who cares, it is really hard not to reply to socially detrimental posts. I always hope at least one person reads them and gets a chance to escape to a better place in life.
I also, noticed something in the records about ban evasion? I wonder if they got spooked because I moved from lemm.ee to midwest.social. Because lemm.ee got shutdown.
Holy shit, this post is insane, both Hamas and Israel are bad. Israel is worse for committing genocide. Hamas is a terrorist organization that if given power would take away rights based on religious beliefs. Israeli citizens, like any civilians, don't deserve to be randomly killed. Zohran is right on the money here. This isn't him moving right, this is actually the most damaging take to the hegemon.
The people who aren't interested in equity or equality are using pedantry against those who do want them. The original meme is used to reeducate those who have fallen into the trap.
You are right. @FuckyWucky if you want to continue to talk about it, feel free to DM me.
