Rules:
- The mods are fallible; if you've been banned or had a post/comment removed, please appeal.
- Off-topic posts will be removed. If you don't know what "Leopards ate my Face" is, try reading this post.
- If the reason your post meets Rule 1 isn't in the source, you must add a source in the post body (not the comments) to explain this. If the reason is in the source but is tedious to find (e.g. in a lengthy video), you must add an explanation for where it is.
- Posts should use high-quality sources (for a rough idea, check out this list), and posts should retain the title (if one exists) from works like news articles, videos, etc. You may (but need not) edit your post if the source changes the title. Other types of posts should have a title which accurately, relatively neutrally describes their contents.
- For accessibility reasons, an image of text must either have alt text or a transcription in the post body.
- Reposts within 1 year or the Top 100 of all time are subject to removal. Within moderator discretion, this doesn't just include reposts of the exact same media but also includes e.g. a secondary source telling basically the exact same story as another that was already posted.
- This is not exclusively a US politics community. You're encouraged to post stories about anyone from any place in the world at any point in history as long as you meet the other rules.
- All Lemmy.World Terms of Service apply.

I blasphemed against the religion of every centrist, so he blocked me.
You're losing and you know it, but you're too stupid to understand why
He understands why. Centrists prefer to lose to fascists over listening to the anti-genocide left.
I think both are true, liberals might prefer to lose over admitting they're wrong but it also seems like the vast majority of them genuinely can't wrap their head around how they're losing. The idea that killing innocent people in other countries could possibly be enough to turn people against them is beyond comprehension.
Once they supported genocide, they forfeited the benefit of the doubt and lost all trust. Caution in the face of the genocidal requires that pleas of incompetence be regarded as apologia for malice. They know why they lost. They know they're wrong. They don't care. As long as genocide had unconditional support in the immediate term, that's the only thing that mattered to centrists. They walked into this clear eyed and delighted to murder as many Palestinians as they could, consequences for the whole world be damned.
They're evil and stupid
Perhaps. But they can never be trusted again.
And that means all actions must be regarded as calculated malice. And centrists earned this.
