Ah yes, opposing genocide is a radical far-left position. Of course.
Sadly in American politics it is, if you support anti-imperialism or the end of capitalism tyranny that makes you a radical leftist (according to the shit libs). I say we wear that as a bage of honor, I am a proud radical leftist.
Ok but please vote for Harris, as she is far closer to your political beliefs than Trump.
Gaslight
Obstruct
Project <---- you are here
Dude seems to think they’re part of some secret grassroots movement of genocide haters that no one else has ever heard of or something.
Congratulations! You've just proven the meme.
Your inability to understand the complexity of the situation and your desperation to boil it down into a small, singular point demonstrates it perfectly.
For once, we agree. He should be hanged for insurrection at the very least.
You did it! You called me a donkey! Good job.
Of course it's a threat, but it's not my threat. It's what Trump is saying.
Hey look, a Trump ~~voter~~ enabler
Now everyone in Gaza will be safe!
Weird ass fantasizers. We all know trumps position but acting like what's currently happening is tame is insane.
Not an American but both sides are so fucking weird
You can be vocal against her stance in this conflict and still vote for her. Not voting for her because of Gaza worsens the conflict.
I'm not saying anything against voting her because I'm not an American, so i obviously can't vote there.
I'm just calling out how weird fucks act like what's already happening isn't crazy. Both biden and kamala are complicit in the genocide and I will keep saying it. But lemmy crowd always goes to voting, I don't understand. People outside America also use lemmy.
How the fuck do you not understand? There's an election to replace the very position you're complaining about coming up in a couple of weeks, and you don't see the relevance??
I don't live in America. That's a you problem.
Ok, but you're here talking about it, so now it's your problem too. Either take like 20 seconds to think about it, or shut the fuck up about our country.
Yes, yes you can. Our shit political system means you have to pick one of 2 options, almost every anti-genocide person I have met is voting for her. This is because they aren't idiots, and understand that Trump is far worse, and a non-voter is a Trump voters. You act like you have to love a candidate to vote for them, and that you aren't allowed to want a candidate to be better.
Oh man I'm sorry, let me personally just go tell Biden to stop arms sales.
What are you saying? That First-past-the-post voting doesn't appropriately represent the people of the USA?
Yeah no shit, but "fixing our electoral system" is not what we're voting on this election.
Everyone here knows you don't care one whit about genocide, BananaBrain.
You aren't raising money for any political action group or charity. You won't go door to door or work a phone bank to raise awareness. You won't do ONE. SINGLE. THING. to actually make a difference.
Each night you go to bed, you'll smile thinking about all the comments you wrote on Lemmy that day, and how many people must be so impressed by your noble anti-genocide stance, all while Trump turns the remaining Palestinian territory to glass.
Ah yes, this is definitely a simple conflict with an easily identifiable black-and-white solution.
If a people are being genocided and you still have difficulties seeing the black and white clearly, that's on you. It couldn't be more black or white than this, the side doing the genocide is always black until it stops doing the genocide. I'm a simple man, doing genocide=black in any context, always.
You should get some learnin then. Because what you just said is stupid as hell. Both candidates support genocide here, but one does so reluctantly and is open to peace while the other wants more killing more faster. If you still don't see the difference, not only are you stupid, you have no moral conscience and you're willing to let more people die just so you can feel smug.
Clearly.
That doesn't even make any sense.
I would start with your local Russian embassy
How would you suggest Israel combat Hamas then, since you’re such a simple man and this is such a simple conflict?
That's a problem for the Israeli state to solve, not me. There have been many ways in my view, but that's not relevant to the question of commiting genocide. I don't need to be an expert in order to categorically oppose genocide. There's not a thing you can say that the Palestinians have done, real or imaginary, which would make a genocide defendable to a human being in touch with their humanity.
There's no reason at all to discuss anything other than stopping the genocide in the current context. You don't discuss possible long term solutions while a genocide is ongoing. After Israel stops commiting genocide, there'll perhaps be room to discuss what to do going forward, but while it's ongoing, there's only one thing worth discussing: How to stop Israel commiting genocide.
