To be clear, I am only talking about people like the average working class Trump voter. The ones who just got caught by misinformation, and just haven’t been able to find a way out. Trump and all his mates are terrible people, and should be held accountable.
The average voter is another thing. My attitude is that I got lucky, and found out that Trump and his mates are terrible, instead of getting sucked down a rabbit hole of supporting them. Knowing how fascism works, I don’t know if I’d be able to reliably land on the right side if fascism happened in my home country. And if I don’t believe I could reliably spot fascism, I’m not comfortable acting like those who support Trump could have.
This isn’t a discussion of “just be a good person”. I know plenty of amazing, caring people who believe they’re doing the right thing.
This whole idea of “I can’t say is reliably avoid fascism” is based on this, the school that became fascist for a week. As bad of an experiment that was from that teacher, it was an effective way of teaching how people fall for what should be obviously a bad thing.
Cease fire was negotiated and secured by the Biden administration. Try again.
Edit: or am I misunderstanding what you’re saying?
You aren’t. It’s a .ml account so they are probably just trolling.
Fair dues. I started at .ml, and I’m not a rabid tankie troll, so I usually like to give the benefit of the doubt…up to a certain point, of course
Yeah, how dear a .ml account post on .ml, you dipshit troll.
No, it was not, it was negotiated by Trump’s envoy. Maybe you should do the smallest amount of research before trying to act like a smug redditer and give away your ignorance
Maybe do the smallest amount of research and realize that:
Do you genuinely believe the bullshit you’re spouting? I don’t mean to be meaninglessly hostile to you - I’m asking how you can possibly believe that line when it’s trivial to disprove.
I don’t care about the persnickety procedural bullshit that you blueanon fucks think is more important than thousands of human lives. “Oh No, it’s actually bad that the genocide stopped, because that violates the Hatch Act!” You Fucking Ghoul.
Biden actively supported the human catastrophe Israel created but because you spent the last year being a genocide denying DNC cultist, you’ve blotted that fact out.
What in the ever loving fuck are you talking about? What you’re saying is utterly unmoored from reality.
“Never believe that anti-Semites are completely unaware of the absurdity of their replies. They know that their remarks are frivolous, open to challenge. But they are amusing themselves, for it is their adversary who is obliged to use words responsibly, since he believes in words. The anti-Semites have the right to play. They even like to play with discourse for, by giving ridiculous reasons, they discredit the seriousness of their interlocutors. They delight in acting in bad faith, since they seek not to persuade by sound argument but to intimidate and disconcert. If you press them too closely, they will abruptly fall silent, loftily indicating by some phrase that the time for argument is past.” ― Jean-Paul Sartre
Cool copypasta bro.
You already used that in another fork of, what I’ll (very charitably) call, this “conversation”.
It continues to be apt
Righto 👍
I realize that BlueAnon extremists like you would rather reject incontrovertible facts than admit you were wrong, but they are still incontrovertible facts.
One, I’m Canadian, two I’m firmly left, well past “liberal”. Two, you’re not really worth talking to. Have fun screaming into the void buddy.
Edit: heh, I’m just going to leave the poorly numberedness.
Being a Canadian only makes being a BlueAnon cultist worse; and no, blueAnon is not left, it is firmly liberal.

Lmao holy shit, this guy is wild
Right? I figured I’d just let them keep winding themselves up. Never even said I was pro-Biden. Honestly, imho, he’s not great, didn’t do much I liked during his tenure and a bunch I didn’t. The stuff he did before was mostly anti-labour which I very much disagree with. BraindeadInABox is frothing at the mouth so hard that they should probably be checked for rabies. The Sartre quote was delectable in it’s blind use as some kinda gotcha. The bozo’s reping a fucking Cheeto, who’s a known rapist, insurrectionist(not even in the respectable way,) and undoubted racist, and if he believes in anything at all further than his own personal power and wealth… he’s certainly an anti-Semite. It’s been interesting watching the masks come off these tankies. Marxist-Leninists my fucking foot. They’re rabid fascist neckbeards, simping over Putin, Xi, and now Herr Trumpf.
Which is a bit sad, they were so close to actually getting it.
Anyway, fully expecting this post to be removed. Probably too close to the truth for these soft bootlicking snowflakes.
You’ve more or less elucidated my thoughts on the matter and this amusing tankie interaction; cheers for that 🍻
