        Lot of accelerationist takes on Lemmy, tbh. Literally “some men just want to watch the world burn” energy because they think they’ll somehow emerge on top of the ashes.

      Unfortunately, to qualify for loan forgiveness under Harris, you’d need to be a woman of color who opens a Waffle House that operates for 3 years in a concentration camp.

        Thank god Donald “clear that whole thing out” Trump won then. Surely his aspirations for Palestine as “great beachfront real estate”, placation of Netanyahu, or the distractions provided by disruption of the entire world economy havent prompted a worse situation for Palestinians than was already occurring. Rest easy knowing this would all be so much worse under Harris, if it werent for the genius actions of the anti-Kamala keyboard warriors

          I understand you’re struggling to come to terms with your new historical status as a Good German, but it’s actually not the fault of the powerless people with a moral compass that the “antifascist” candidate explicitly ran on genocide, refused to stop supporting genocide, and sent the riot cops to bash our heads in for protesting against genocide. They had every ability not to, and they fucked it for themselves instead, and now their most servile little jockeys (you) are capering around insisting that things would be fine, if only all of us had agreed to throw Palestinians under the bus as eagerly and viciously as you did. You pseudoenlightened brunch freaks will make excuses for any fascist atrocity as long as it’s not an orange man doing it 1% more rudely. You will hate and blame whoever you’re told to hate and blame for your own lack of moral fortitude and strategic forethought. and have demonstrated yourselves incapable of understanding even basic solidarity, unfit for any resistance organization. Who’s going to want partisans and saboteurs who go full nazi the moment they’re told to? Nobody, that’s who. They can just hang out with their new Israeli friends and talk about their newfound interest in ethnic cleansing.

          It’s real simple dawg. Either genocide is a dealbreaker for you, or it isn’t. You chose the Hitler option, in front of god and everybody, and now you wanna run around trying to morshupls it away. Have a spine for once liberal, face the consequences of your nazi support. You’ve rotted your soul and it’s not coming back.

            Lmfao dude get your head out of your ass. I hope tanking this entire country was worth it just so you can play pretend when it comes to your sense of ethics. Im so glad people will be starving in the street here next, while genocide in Gaza goes on unfettered, thanks to holier-than-thou dumbasses like yourself. Congratulations on everything youve accomplished

              will be starving in the streets? Where have you been for years lol. You reek of “comfortable white liberal who thinks bad things just started happening.” You think people aren’t starving in the streets here? I can’t take your goofy, out of touch bullshit seriously

              just so you can play pretend when it comes to your sense of ethics

              Man, ever since the election you guys have been coming up with some wild ways to try and frame people who actually understand things like solidarity, precedent and normalization as somehow unserious and impractical, while you supported a doomed fascist war of extermination and still lost the election

              while genocide in Gaza goes on unfettered

              The genocide was unfettered from day one. See what I mean? You’re so servile and housebroken, so disturbingly ready to obey without thinking, that you’ll take any line to attack the powerless of behalf of the powerful, up to and including voting for a genocide, and still think of yourself as the good guy here. How are you different from MAGA? We know you’re cool with concentration camps, because you presumably voted Biden in 2020. Again, I’ve had this conversation many times, and every single one of them ultimately ended with the newly-minted nazi lashing out defensively when it was pointed out that they gave away their humanity, forever, in exchange for absolutely nothing.

              You got tricked into ripping your face off and becoming a grinning demon, don’t make your buyer’s remorse everyone else’s problem.

              Also, yes: I am holier than thou, whatever that means, by virtue of your having embraced the unholiest possible position, the crime of crimes. Anyone who hasn’t done that is holier by default.

            No shit. People spent months trying to “convince” them by shaming and berating them. It’s just human nature to harden ones stance when met with that sort of onslaught. Especially when, lets face it, they had a point with Gaza. I don’t agree with them, but the people who still won’t shut up about it aren’t helping.

            Anyways, those (non)voters didn’t swing the election. It was just the usual American voter apathy because of the usual pathetic Democratic candidate. Only Biden and Harris had it in their power to do something that would have made a difference.
