I'd like to think they're all just Russian trolls but increasingly, I think some people are just selfish or dumb. (lemmy.world)

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?

    Ahh, but you see, you disagreed with Stalin that one time, and therefore you were the fascist all along

    As I believe in the abolition of capitalism and the creation of a popular base of support for such a measure, instead of a narrow oligarchy oppressing the proletariat and enforcing its will on society, I am a shitlib. It's a terrible burden to bear. 😔

    And hardly takes that. All you have to do is have a subtle difference of opinion, and BAM! You’re a fascist.

    My favorite, however, is that when you point out that their arguments are 100% logical fallacies, you get banned from multiple communities at once.

    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.
