Kind of have bigger problems at home.

We're all busy fighting the fascists from our own throats.

But please, feel free to not vote, that will really show the fascists.

[-] 3abas@lemm.ee 16 points 1 day ago

The only reason you're fighting the loud Nazis now is because you insisted on voting for the nice Nazis as a solution.

This was Biden's genocide, Israel starved Gaza under Biden already and he did nothing, it was Trump who paused the genocide, in a stupid attempt to get Gazans to just play along and ethnically cleanse themselves, and now he resumed Biden's genocide.

When history books are written, you can bet your ass we Palestinians will keep reminding the whole world that this was Israel and Biden's genocide.

But please, feel free to pat yourself on the back and tell yourself you did your part, you did what you could to end the genocide by voting for the party committing it, it's everyone else's fault that the other party is also committing it. You're just a dumb Nazi.

We're fighting nazis because when we tried to vote against nazis you said 'meh, you're not the right kind of anti-nazi, so we'll let the real nazis win to show you!'

Which is why Gaza is being purged by fire right now.

Well played, you must really hate Gazan children, to let them suffer like this to prove a point.

That's me showed.

Gaza was getting purged by fire under Biden.

You just didn't care because of who was doing it.

No person actively engaged in Genocide is an anti-Nazi. They're just Nazis.

You never cared about Palestinian children if you supported someone that was actively engaged in murdering them.

It's not 'you showed'. It's 'you showed the world who you are'. Which is someone who is okay with genocide.

I didn't care because I don't care about gazans, and oct 7 didn't endear them further.

I care about Americans, who are now suffering a genocide which you're fine with.

It's not 'you showed'. It's 'you showed the world who you are'. Which is someone who is okay with genocide.

Yup, an American genocide, and a Ukranian genocide. Mass graves in izium.

That's who you are.

So you're a Nazi.

People that don't care about the ongoing genocide of 2.8 million people, most of whom were children, and don't care they're being slaughtered because of the action of less then 1% of the population are Nazis who are okay with genocide.

You don't have a problem with genocide, just the people being genocided.

You're a Nazi.

[-] InvertedParallax@lemm.ee 1 points 3 hours ago* (last edited 3 hours ago)

I care about the ongoing genocide of more than that, both in the US and in Ukraine.

The US has roughly 12 million vulnerable to Trumpism, mostly children as well, my friend's child is being stripped of citizenship right now. Ukraine has a population of 37.73 million.

You don't care about my genocide at all, or the genocide of immigrants like me.

Let me guess: "They're not Real Americans" to you?

Just be honest, you're a Russian trying to push the agenda to paralyze America politically, and you're pretty transparent about it.

Either that or you're so impossibly stupid you fell for Russians encouraging Hamas to strike on Oct 7th to distract from Ukraine and help get Trump re-elected.

Both are basically the same, and no matter what you deserve everyone's contempt.

If there's fighting then I'm sure as hell not seeing it.

I mean what do you define as fighting? Cause the most I've seen is protests and I don't really count just going outside for a couple of hours on the weekend to wave a sign around and chant as fighting.

[-] baines@lemmy.cafe 7 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

sure ignore all the judges, fed workers and doctors being threatened with losing their livelihoods and jail, possibly violence

ignore the massive amounts of non violent protests

all the quiet behind the scenes work on trying to preserve everything we can

but sure get right out there and give them a reason to declare martial law

here actual violence for you

They aren't fighting, they are barely resisting by doing their job.

ignore the massive amounts of non violent protests

Massive? You're impressed with the size of protests in the face of what's happening?

all the quiet behind the scenes work on trying to preserve everything we can

There's a difference between dismissing all efforts by all individuals and stating a starling fact: we are collectively not doing enough.

but sure get right out there and give them a reason to declare martial law

Wait wait wait this took me back a bit, I wasn't ready to respond to this point. You're either completely brainwashed by neo-liberals or you just have not thought your contradicting views through fully.

What's the point of protest? Have you ever marched in an organized peaceful protest in designated areas and paths where police literally setup caution tape and mobile barriers to direct your protest from point a to point b?

How did that feel? Did you feel like you accomplished much? Did the few onlookers that actually walked by your "protest" path seen engaged and informed?

Protests that don't bother anyone are just state sponsored venting sessions. If the Nazis are in power, and they aren't imposing marshall law because of your protests, you're not protesting.

When the Biden regime saw actual massive protests of his genocide, they called students terrorists and started making laws to squash it. Just a few days a go a bill was passed to make it illegal to criticize Israel on Campus by conflating anti genocide protests with antisemitism.

There's your fascism, 320-91 bipartisan fascism! Protest, massively and un"peacefully" before you can't.

[-] WarlordSdocy@lemm.ee 4 points 1 day ago

I think doing all of those things is good but none of them really constitutes the people actually fighting back.

The first point focuses more on people in government using the amount of power they can to oppose this stuff which is good but isn't really the people fighting back against this.

The massive amounts of protests aren't going to do anything by themselves as Trump can continue to ignore them and keep blazing ahead as he's already doing so. Especially considering the major force behind this, 50501, is having some pretty major internal problems right now the last time I looked that will probably splinter and hamper their ability to keep doing events.

In terms of violence I do generally support non-violent action, I just think it needs to be directed in ways that actually accomplish something rather then just allowing people to feel like they did something by going out to a protest for a couple hours. We need people to join organizations and actually start organizing and building community with people. That way people can begin to work towards creating whatever protections they can at the local level whether that be through local legislation or through organizing groups to protect people in the community directly from attacks. Protests can work towards this but we seriously need to hammer it into people that just showing up to a protest isn't enough by itself and we need more protests that aren't just nebulously targeted at Trump but have specific goals and demands.
