      I think that’s what will happen to me because the opposition is openly fascist, and people like you are doing their damndest to see a fascist regime elected here because you hate the grotesque foreign policy that has been established over the past 50 years.

      Like, it’s not something that is unreasonable to see as fucking grotesque; it’s only unreasonable to demand that fascism be implemented here - not in the name of stopping the support of genocidaires in our foreign policy, but in the name of intensifying it. Just straight up saying “Yes, I want the greater evil, in all possible areas”.

      For some reason, this endorsement of the mass murder of Palestinians AND American minorities makes an alarming number of self-proclaimed leftists feel good about themselves.

        Where have I endorsed the mass murder of American minorities? If I have done that by denying Biden my vote, then you are endorsing the genocide of Palestinians by assuring Biden of yours. Is that fair to say?

                In a lot of ways I am privileged, yes. Aren’t we all? Tell you what though, I know some very much less privileged people than myself, that are similarly principled when it comes to genocide.

                  No, it’s because you are unaffected by the downstream consequences of your actions. You get to pontificate on social media about how you won’t succumb to the “two-party evil system” while going on about your day. Meanwhile, millions of Americans will be directly affected by Trump’s policies. Remember: the presidency is not one person, but also their entire cabinet. So everything from environmental regulations to women’s reproductive rights are consequentially downstream. But since none of these issues have any significant impact on your life and you have a very limited understanding of geopolitics you get to sit and preach to the world from your keyboard. If you want to be an accelerationist, then fucking embrace it and own up to the position. Don’t hold your tail between your legs and beat around the bush. You should actually vote for Trump and burn the place down. Own it --don’t be a bitch on Lemmy and abstain your vote. Just go all the way.
