  • To my knowledge

    Your “knowledge” is years of reddit threads and a lifetime of immersion in US imperial propaganda meant to dehumanize its enemies while justifying its own endless violent interventions.

    Before lgbtq rights, the excuse was spreading democracy, and before that it was “bringing civillization.” The truth is, the US doesn’t give a shit about their rights, it only cares about using them as an excuse for mass murder. They actively make life more dangerous for queer people around the world by using queerness as a human shield for their activities, same as Isreal does with jewishness, tying them together in the eyes of a casual observer, lying to its victims that “we are bombing you because you are homophobic/antisemetic and we are Jewish/queer” while it simply bombs them for their land and resources.

    America does not defend queer people, it puppets them into the line of fire.

    It’d be like if I kept you in a basement for 20 years, then murdered an entire neighborhood of people, then put up a billboard saying “I did this so ToucheGoodSir could have a place to live, because I love him.”

    And then other people looked at that billboard and said “wow, that ShimmeringKoi sure treats his friends well.”

    Genuinely, with no wish to sound snarky or get an “own”: That awful feeling is your conscience and gut telling you that this is both terribly unnatural and entering dangerous territory, respectively. Regardless of how this election goes, the US and it’s vassals are going to get more fascist, and we are all going to be asked, politely at first, to go along with more and more atrocities. The sooner we stop swallowing our humanity and start listening to the blaring alarms in our minds that this is all wrong, the safer everyone will be.

    Let’s pretend for a second that voting blue would stop the slaughter at “just” the Palestinians (it doesn’t).

    If you think you’re knowingly sacrificing an entire people to annihilation just so save your own skin, and you can not only live with that but argue in favor of it instead of redacting your entire government, you’re a fucking nazi. Peddle your them-or-us genocide support somewhere else you blue maga piece of shit.




  • Bro, the only thing resembling an argument with this meme that you and one other liberal has been able to muster has been “um, well askhually you’re not literally omniscient”. Like at this point you’re clearly just looking for anything to grasp onto. If you’re saying to someone “well you’re not literally right all the time, just about all the important shit” then you’re just squirming around. It’s that weird “ah, touche” energy that your redditor types bring whenever you’re wrong about something but want to carve out a little tiny technicality where you can continue to not confront it.



  • Isreal hides behind all of semitism as a human shield, so it makes sense that of the criticisms they label antisemitic (all of them) that some of them actually would be. It’s understandable (not good or tolerable but also not an anomaly) that given the hideously complicated level of intertwining machinery between our two occupation governments, someone without a materialist grounding in the subject could come to confuse who controls who, especially someone who’s grown up marinating in casually fascist explanations for the state of the world like most of us did

    I just realized that it kind of sounds like I was implying you don’t know materialism so I wanna clarify that I’m talking about a hypothetical rando, I know you’re Dessalines lmao


  • You get that this is a meme, and that “all the time” is commonly understood to mean “very often” in practical terms, right? If I said to you “that guy is getting high all the time” would you well akshually me about how he’s not literally taking one endless bong rip 24 hours a day, or would you intuitively understand what I was saying and move on? Ironically, you’ve chosen to interpret this in very literal, black and white terms.

    Of course nobody is right about absolutely everything. But when you keep correctly calling the outcomes of wars before they start while everyone else screams and sneers that your accurate analysis makes you some kind of enemy agent, before reality forces those same people to turn around a year or two later and admit exactly what you were saying, only for nobody to learn anything and the cycle to begin again… shit starts to feel like a burden.
