They're literally just doing mental gymnastics to try to figure out how they can be actively supporting a genocide and still be the good guys. And the playboys getting pretty stale.
"Fuck Biden, he's literally actively carrying out a genocide."
"Yea well trump would bebworse, trust me."
"Fuck Biden, deportations have gone up under him since Trump and he's trying to eliminate the asylum program."
"Yea but Trump would be worse, trust me."
"Fuxk Biden, were drilling more oil than anybody at any point in history"
"Yea well Trump would be way worse"
This coming from the same people who have been wrong about fucking every important decision for the last 30 years, and also managed to lose elections to Bush and Trump.
It’s close enough to the tracks that it would hurt the hostages, and the wreckage would probably have enough momentum to hit them anyway.
This is a good analogy actually. Blowing up the train would feel good, but that isn’t going to stop the momentum, and it’s unfortunately virtually impossible to outright stop it’s momentum at this point. All that blowing up the train would accomplish is sending fiery wreckage towards the middle track.
You aren't voting for genocide? You're an evil piece of shit. Don't let perfect be the enemy of good!
I, on the other hand, will be voting for genocide in six months, and I'll be spending my time until then criticizing anyone who opposes genocide online. I hope you're happy, it's your fault the genocide will continue, and eventually you'll be killed too.
It's hard, sometimes, being so much smarter and more moral than all these dumb tankies, but I manage.
Let's say for a second this reality were true. What they're saying is they're still ok with the Palestinian genocide. They really think this is a good look.
If people like William Lloyd Garrison and John Brown voted Whig party every single election and attempted to nudge them left we would still have fucking slavery.
The Whig parties death in the 1850s is what allowed the more radical Republican Party to rise.
No one looks back on the years of Whig party rule and says, “wow but at least the slavery was ran more politely.”
"I hope this post gets a lot of tankie comments. They’ll be flockin’ to a blockin’
Heh. See, cause. It rhymes. So.
The one yesterday had that commenter who was all “what’s this? Oh it took me a second cause I blocked all the tankies” and that’s when I realized I forgot to block lemmy.ml. Now that that’s done, it’s just onsie-twosies. It’s a bright, bright sunshiney day."
It's funny when I say "I don't believe Trump would be worse than Biden on Palestine", suddenly these debate bros, logic bros, logical fallacy referees do not understand the difference between "I don't believe this is true" and "I believe that this is false and the opposite is true".
Yep, when you explicitly reject Marxist instances and cater exclusively to reddit refugees with no niche interests, you get the most terminally online radlibs.
