I was banned from r/LateStageCapitalism for politely supporting a post with this reasoning. I pointed out that Trump would make the conflict even worse for innocents, and voting third-party to make a statement against neoliberal Democrat rule (which is bad) is a position that, in this moment, only the least-vulnerable in America can take when there is a risk of outright christo-fascism threatening the least-enfranchised.
Banned. “This is a socialist sub.” Proceeded to see a post from a mod openly mocking anyone who entertained lesser-of-two-evils arguments; they sounded like a sneering teenager. Over there, it’s all theory and no parsing of theory with reality.
Yeah, I existed there for quite a while and I’m by no means a socialist. Then I think it was Tiananmen Square Day the year before the exodus to Lemmy that they suddenly cracked down on anyone who was like, “okay but we don’t want to starve or get run over by tanks either, so democracy is probably a good thing to keep.”
Just love how all of the sudden a fresh crop of.ml weeds are in my feed to be blocked because they realized all the old propaganda spreaders were blocked and refused to not be listened to about how letting even more genocide happen is the true anti-genocide position.
Thats probably true but is still a guess. Trumps infinite capacity to be bribed-- probably cheaply-- must conflict at some level with his overt antisemiticism. Once he gets enough of his little fingers on our taxpayer money he wont need AIPAC bribes, and then what will he do? His and Vance’s answer to “The Jewish Question” will be the same answer he gives to every other nonwhite subgroup. AIPAC must be thinking of how to deal with Vance and hasten Trumps demise along. Its the only plan that makes any sense for them.
We know Harris will 100% support Israeli demands and continue whatever Biden starts, which is bad enough.
And, obviously, Trump will end America one way or another, so thats a consideration too.

Nice to see r/LateStageCapitalism is still letting tankies run off allies.
Was it ever not a tankie sub?

Yeah. I have all that garbage filtered from my feed and advise others to as well.
