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.

You went through all the trouble of using eth everywhere, but you left out the accent in derrière?

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

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.

Ongoing genocide is at the top of my "what I'm concerned about" list. If it isn't for you, maybe you should reflect on that a little

[–] dragonfucker@lemmy.nz 1 points 1 hour ago

Ongoing genocide isn't at the top of drag's priority list. The top of drag's list is the imminent omnicide due to climate change. Drag thinks omnicide is a bigger deal than genocide.

[–] Doorbook@lemmy.world 8 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

Some people think an administration and a party that out right lies about a genocide happening care about them. If someone in a position of power, not only ignore but also support clear evidence of genocide and keep repeating statement that means nothing, they are either agent for a foreign country "AIPAC" or they are in it for themselves and have zero care for poor people.

[–] MisterScruffy@lemmy.ml 6 points 3 hours ago

Don't forget CUFI, it's actually bigger and more powerful than AIPAC but doesn't get as much attention. Christian Zionists are insane psychopaths hell bent on destroying the world (literally)

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.
