I hate when they smugly act like if Trump is elected then a switch magically flips and leftists will start to be oppressed.
NEWS FLASH ASSHOLES. IT'S BEEN HAPPENING THE WHOLE TIME AND BIDEN HAS ESCALATED IT. THE DEMS HAVE SPENT A BUNCH OF MONEY TO KICK LEFTIST CANDIDATES OFF OF STATE BALLOTS. THEY DON'T HIDE IT. YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT THE FUCK YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT.
The left in America has been literally attacked for decades. They've murdered and imprisoned so many leftists, we have to rebuild our institutional knowledge from scratch every new generation. Meanwhile, the same libs and reactionaries who killed Fred Hampton or Sacco and Vanzetti are still in office (okay maybe not for the latter, but it sure feels like it).
Aw fuck I missed that one, I bet all the juicy lib posts have been deleted now.
"Surely my take that is exactly the same as every other one that has been dogpiled will be the one to change those Trump-loving tankies' minds!"
There's a lot of life in this one, I was up at like midnight digitally yelling at blue Nazis while I fed my newborn last night and it's somehow still going.
If we put in effort we might make this one stay on top for several days too
Can you link? I'm on mobile so I can't search or go back beyond the main page.
Hell yeah brother https://hexbear.net/post/3769325 (same as nakoichis link if you've already gotten that)
love how half of that shit is just liberals arguing how to create the perfect trolley problem meme to "debunk" those silly anti genocidal leftists/Russian assets. None of the death and destruction means anything to these people, they just want to win an argument for their team.
I've not made a .world account because I know, as much as I love dunking, the critical amount of in there would make me OD
Edit: I wanna go in there like a cringy online version of the irish dad in "come out ye black and tans"
If I argued on .world I'd only get angrier at the libs I know in real life and I can't really afford that these days.
No, a Thomas Bernhard one. Is there a Wertheimer on Always Sunny? I haven't watched in a while.
One thing I’ve learned this election cycle is how few people have any knowledge of utilitarianism. Genocide is better than genocide+1. Not acting is a moral choice, and frequently a cowardly one.
A lot of people are saying Hitler was a bad guy for killing 6,000,000 Jewish people but I think we should give credit where credit is due and praise him for not killing 6,000,001.
You think genocide is bad tankie? Well take a look at this trolley probkem meme!!!! Bet you feeel pretty dumb now huh?
Gosh, so much to unpack in that "meme"...As i understand it the trolley problem's point is "is the switch thrower responsible for the deaths regardless of their choice?". So not only are they misunderstanding the thought experiment they're oopsie admitting that we are not at the switch but on the tracks and that they choose Palestinian death by throwing the switch for kamala.
The only thing surprising is the mods they're only locking the post because we got too many reports. Not that it had rule breaking stuff just that they'd need to actually act.
We need a version of that says something like "sloptime"
Or maybe just a hog-call emoji.Standing out back the chuck wagon, ringing the triangle to call all the buckaroos in for their evening beanis.
Ignorant tankies don't understand that the blood good requires a blood sacrifice.
lmao whatever friend, if i want to throw my vote away i'll vote for the horned rat, at least he has followers
Eternity in the fire pits might be bad but imagine eternity and a day in the fire pits
look the eater of worlds has some issues but you have to acknowledge that the corpse emperor would be worse
Hundreds of comments and the only argument from them is the same old "Trump tho".
None of them answered the question, so I guess that means the answer is ∞.
since China made Russia a vassal state.
save American democracy for four more years!”
They can only save it for four years at a time. Then you have to no matter who in order to save democracy for four more years. indeed
democracy is saved when you have no choice but to vote for the same right-wing candidate in order to keep saving it over and over again
Just don't ask (1) is the bad team that bad if they fold at the sight of a voting outcome? Or (2) what does it mean if the bad team is bad enough to simply ignore a voting result but doesn't bother to oust the good team?
Someone actually wrote that? They use the same variation of the Russian bot accusation so often that it makes them look like an AI bot.
A system so fantastic that it is existencially threatened every four years if the only other party (which half the country votes for) manages to get the presidency. No we cannot do anything about it, the president doesn't really have any powers.
Hanging out in the mud with my comrades, thriving, scratching on trees, kicking bad takes back and forth like soccer balls
The premise of the thread is already liberal. You're not going to convince anyone with combative discourse, you're just going to get at least two parties to waste their time.
People don't change their minds based on facts and logic. They change their minds from something making them more open, and then being nudged in line with the target perspective instead of crashing head-on into it.
If you accuse a liberal of justifying or denying genocide, they're just going to see you as the irrational one, and then justify or deny it even more.
It is a word swap of a similar thread posted by a liberal on some other lemmy
its funy that um, we know that politics are just entertainment in the us but ironically that we are the most entertained by them
I love how a post I thought about for 30 seconds became this
ShowI counted at least 4 tourists. That's fucking impressive. The libshit that said supporting genocide was "having principles" was my favorite I think.
