If you þink ð solution to democratic softness on Israeli atrocities is to let Trump back into power after he handed ðem East Jerusalem, West Bank, and Golan Heights on a silver platter, you are eiðer a covert zionist agent or an unwitting zionist agent.

Eiðer way, my Amrikani-Falasteeni derriere will consider you as much of an ally as truck flags McGee barely holding back from calling me a towel head and sand n****r mostly because we some ð fuck how have been blessed to avoid peak emboldenment, despite your best efforts trying to "make ð establishment learn ðeir lesson."

You can tell ðese kids are white because ðey actually believe pulling a karen on ð two party system will get ðem a sit down meeting with democracy's manager for a socialism coupon or some shit.

Selfish and dumb people may as well just be (involuntary) Russian puppets.

It's almost like the current and immediate conflict between Israel and Palestinians isn't the singular thing that the world should have serious concern about, and that realistic solutions to longstanding international diplomacy issues are - wait for it - hard.

[–] Lauchs@lemmy.world 16 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

But hard things are hard and involve complexity and nuance! I'd much rather call people racist, spout a simplistic solution and call it a day.

You forgot to smugly pat yourself on the back!

Sure, more Palestinians will die

Sure, Ukrainians will die

Sure, US minorities will die

Sure, the entire world will suffer from a fascist demagogue at the head of the most powerful country in the world

But have you considered that, for a few brief moments of time, ~~we created a lot of value for the shareholders~~ we got to feel smug over the SHITLIBS who wanted to prevent fascism?

It's honestly such a shockingly privileged position it almost defies belief that anyone could actually be so dense unless they are operating in bad faith. Yes, there are several serious problems in the world, and absolutely none of them are solved by helping the US slip into fascism. Leftists in particular are supposed to hate fascists, so I can't imagine how anyone with leftist sympathies could possibly want to see what the world looks like with an unrestrained Trunp at the helm. Again, unless they are so privileged they don't think the consequences would affect them personally, in which case I would call any other profession of external empathy which they might bleet ad nauseum, as questionably sincere.

They don’t think the consequences will touch them. They’re the leftist equivalent of “shitlibs”

Ahh, but you see, you disagreed with Stalin that one time, and therefore you were the fascist all along

[–] PugJesus@lemmy.world 24 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

As I believe in the abolition of capitalism and the creation of a popular base of support for such a measure, instead of a narrow oligarchy oppressing the proletariat and enforcing its will on society, I am a shitlib. It's a terrible burden to bear. 😔

[–] socsa@piefed.social 7 points 3 hours ago

Correct, my harm reduction framework is much more violent than your harm reduction framework, and is therefore more interesting, which makes you wrong.

[–] EleventhHour@lemmy.world 6 points 4 hours ago* (last edited 4 hours ago) (1 children)

And hardly takes that. All you have to do is have a subtle difference of opinion, and BAM! You’re a fascist.

My favorite, however, is that when you point out that their arguments are 100% logical fallacies, you get banned from multiple communities at once.

Did you know if you support Harris, you’re also a transphobe?

Just admit it!

Something something chronically online lmfao touch grass bougie.

But what else am I gonna do with my feelings of impotent rage? Try to actually change something?

[–] magnetosphere@fedia.io 30 points 4 hours ago (25 children)

I got into this argument the other day. People’s arrogance and lack of common sense was disappointing.
