You’re welcome to post anything you’d like that would help stop the genocide.
"Anyone who doesn't support the Democrats committing Genocide is bad faith".
you're accusation of bad faith is, itself, bad faith
Babe you’re seriously missing the point. I think the vast majority of people here are aware there’s a genocide happening. I’d say plenty have done their best to directly support those affected according to our means. The “stopping genocide” is happening in other places, and you’re invited, if you can look past the unnecessarily inflammatory memes.
At a point this is barely a discussion of politics and social issues, and just your delivery being, to be frank, mid. You’re just posting stuff designed to make people feel bad for taking care of as many people as they can, both at home and the world over. We’re all on board, now let’s talk and organize and go DO, not repost weird backwards right wing talking points.
Your use of the benevolent sexist term “babe” is frankly, cringe. And your elicited response confirms the effectiveness of this post. If people are doing all they can, then why is the genocide still happening?
Lmaooo!! The tits on my chest say I’ve got my “babe” card I think. Cringe doesn’t exist and I won’t get into the irony of you mansplaining the sexist history of the word “babe” to a gal. My “response” was that you’re being unnecessarily inflammatory without being constructive. The post did not make me feel bad because I’m confident in my support of my community both local and global. I am in fact doing what my means allow for as many people as possible as I believe many of the people on this app are. Maybe these memes are a cry for help because you are actually self conscious of not having done more for your various communities and you now exist largely alone, both in person and in digital spaces. But that’s a whole different discussion for your therapist.
Welcome to the library, you been read.
Lmao Muted
I’ll have to add, “we’ve done all we can,” to the meme.
