Okay. But Palestine still gonna be fucked. I get that you don't care if Palestinians die. But I do. So I get to not vote for the guy currently enabling their genocide. "Trump would do it too" so you admit it's bad? Demand better from your politicians you weakling.

If you think Palestine is still fucked either way then choosing to empowerer Trump makes even less sense. I think it's a fact that Trump will be far worse for Palestinians than Biden, but even if we assume they will both be just as terrible on this issue, Trump is also terrible on every issue. If your choice is terrible and completely terrible, logically you should go with terrible. The other choice is even worse.

Some might say it’s the weakling that can’t make the right decision to vote for the lesser evil even if they don’t like them.

Like I said in the last reply, you get to vote however you like. But if you publicly share your choice, others are free to comment on it.

There it is! The right decision! See and I think you're making the wrong decision. Aren't perspectives fun?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Letting fascism win is the objectively wrong decision. It's not a different perspective, you aren't thinking.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Letting genocide continue is the objectively wrong decision. So I have two objectively wrong decisions. What do?

Maybe wake up and realize the fascists tricked you into thinking a genocide is taking place when really only 25,000 people have died and the daily death tolls have halved in the last month and have been dropping since after the first two weeks of the war. If it's a genocide the killing apparatus should become more efficient over time, not less, and certainly not less by half, not with 99% of the alleged target people still alive.

That's the proportionate equivalent of as starting to limp and fall down when you're 450 feet into a 26.2 mile marathon.

Vote for the candidate whose election will result in the least amount of genocide. Millions of people dying under Trump is worse than the thousands of people who have died under Biden. If you cared this about the Palestinians, saving millions of lives would be a straightforward math problem.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The least amount of genocide for whom? Who's lives do I value over thr others? The ones that are most like mine?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

For human beings? When Trump was in office all he did was pander to dictators. I don't see why he wouldn't do exactly the same again. Trump is going to let Netanyahu ethnically cleanse the Gaza Strip, let Putin invade Europe, let Xi invade Taiwan and the Indo-Pacific, and let Kim invade South Korea. Not to mention Trump is going to ethnically cleanse immigrants from the US. He's going to round them up into camps first. Trump is going to be bad for all of us.

But Palestine still gonna be fucked.

More Palestinians will die under Trump. All he does is kiss dictator ass. Trump is going to let Netanyahu ethnically cleanse the entire Gaza Strip.

I get that you don’t care if Palestinians die. But I do.

You're a liar. Since this is all you seem to care about, know this, you're going to have blood on your hands if you refuse to vote. I refuse to let you have your bullshit moral high ground. I'm voting for democracy in this next election. There will be nothing but genocide from here on out if America becomes a fascist dictatorship, both at home and abroad. Millions more people will die if Trump becomes president. If millions of Palestinians dying doesn't matter to you, then you don't care about the Palestinians.

Bro I don't care about Palestine that much right now, nothing we can do there, that's on Israel, Iran and the middle east, you better look in your own fkn back yard because dictatorship is just around the corner while everyone is worried about the next marvel movie and causes they don't really have any power to effect.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

We've been selling Israel weapons while they declare exactly what they want to do. What the fuck are you talking about? Biden has gone around Congress twice to sell weapons to Israel. But sure. Nothing we can do. Get fucked.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Palestinians don't care if Palestinians die. They huddle up around Hamas members and tunnel entrances to die as proud martyrs, human shields for their terrorist captor's absolutely deranged anti-social and religious beliefs.

It's very sad that 600,000 to 800,000 people in Gaza ignored the evacuation warnings or were held as voluntary and involuntary human shields by a terrorist organization. The terrorists and their patron state Iran are absolutely psyched that Kentifer got tricked into openly supporting terrorism by these otherwise easily avoidable deaths. Really, it's very sad that Hamas has no regard for the lives of the people it falsely claims to serve.

The hard right authoritarians of the world support Hamas and call these deaths genocide; Iran, Malaysia, Brazil, Iraq, Syria, etc.

The liberal world order supports Iarael's right to self defense; America, the EU, NATO, UK, France, Australia, Norway, Austria, Poland, Germany....even Canada.

Think about that and consider whether it not maybe you really have been tricked, why you're siding with Iran over Canada?

You are a genocide apologist and I hope you live to feel the shame you deserve to feel.
