Since it’s hellworld, I’m sure the answer will be no but…is it irrational to ask ourselves whether their complete mask off moment is happening a bit too quickly?

Material conditions are getting worse, make no mistake. Capitalism is due for a catastrophic event. But, we’re kind of not there yet, and the chuds are making such a big stink about being the catalysts for this once in a generation ™ extinction event in capitalism. And the amount of poo, So much poo, they throw it everywhere and they do it so loudly that even the most politically unaware are made aware of their pant shitting wrecking this paper tiger of an economy.

So that combined with all the flat out fucking weird and supremely distasteful shit they’re doing and saying makes me feel like they’re overplaying their hand. Atp they just have to kill all of us because i can’t imagine they’re not turning off a lot of normies

I dunno, there’s a lot of people who are pretty content with being bigoted through some veil of propriety, don’t think they want to fight on the kkk frontlines and be confronted for it. But I’m probably being extremely hopeful.

      No. Because they did that last year, and it didn’t work

        Genuinely wondering if you stumbled in here from a parallel timeline.

        and it didn’t work

        The purpose of not committing genocide isn’t to get credit for not committing genocide. It’s to not commit genocide.

            Oh, my bad. I’ll just tell all those Palestinians they’re not dead, killed by a colonial regime armed and supported by the Democrats at the time.

              I agree with you that we shouldn’t have sent military aid to Israel. I’m also not a 1 issue voter, and knew that the Trump administration would be worse on all issues (including your 1 issue), and acted accordingly

                The funniest part is that he did not in fact turn out to be worse on this 1 issue lmao. However low you make the bar your dems will be unable to clear it.

                  Exactly lmao. I would not apply the label “better”, because I would never say anything good about the monstrous shit Trump’s government has done and enabled (and will continue to do so) on this issue, but I definitely wouldn’t apply the label “worse”.

                OK, so you agree they committed genocide. Not even going to bother with the rest of your sophistry, if you think that considering genocide a deal-breaker makes someone a single-issue voter then I don’t think it’s worth the time to discuss with you. I hope that one day you reflect on the fact that genocide can be acceptable to you.

                  No, I’m just saying that Democrats didn’t commit genocide. They supplied arms to our longtime ally after they were hit by a horrifying terrorist attack, and then continued to supply arms long after Israel was clearly going too far. I sympathize with your position, but it’s clearly irrational to not vote for the one party that could have beaten the objectively worse eventual winner of last year’s election. You saved 0 Palestinians, and made soooo many people’s lives worse than they otherwise would have been.

                    after they were hit by a horrifying terrorist attack,

                    All violence against colonizers is justified. In the case of the zionist entity known as Isreal, it’s become outright necessary. There were numerous murders of peaceful Palestinian protesters and multiple cases of sexual assault on Palestinians by their occupiers in the months leading up to October.

                    The Palestinians have tried nonviolence and have only been met with more violence. The next step is to inflict so much damage on the settlers occupying Palestine they take their asses back to Europe where they belong. The Israelis deserve any and all gunshots, bombings, and stabbings Palestine can give them.

                    Cool, please leave this instance. We do not accept supporters of genocidal ethnostates. Even if this were true (it’s not), “Israel” was a genocidal project from its inception. You have the aggressor and the defender reversed. And even if that weren’t the case, the term for supplying arms and political support to your vassal so they can continue to commit genocide is “committing genocide”.

                    I sympathize with your position, but it’s clearly irrational to not vote for the one party that could have beaten the objectively worse eventual winner of last year’s election.

                    Hilarious that you cling to the idea that it actually makes a difference which party wins. They’re on the same team, and even if they weren’t they switch out on such a regular schedule that you could replace your “democracy” with a metronome and see absolutely no practical difference.

            Yes, they did, where the fuck have you been for the last two years? Because the rest of us have been witnessing it happen fucking livestreamed from Gaza, while also both parties repeatedly vote to send multiple billions of dollars in fucking bombs. And you’re a HUGE fucking piece of shit for denying that. But that’s to be expected from the people who literally laughed and covered their ears when we protested you assholes in 2024.

            I just want you to know, as bad as you think the maga crowd are, you’re just as bad. Maybe even worse, because you somehow think you’re better than maga because your racism and white supremacy has a nicer, more civil facade. But you are just as disgusting and vile under your team blue mask. Fuck you.
