Or even the mute button. Or even don't follow them (if people you like retweet them then they may be worth paying attention to)

Isn't it? The whole point of the collapse of the centre into enabling fascism is that they really, really resent the new social movements (Palestine, trans, MeToo, BLM) for challenging them, and will hold their nose while the gross fascists exterminate them

I think the point of this line of criticism though is that viewing Democrats as complicit or malicious actors is like blaming an app for not running on a different operating system.

Why, though? When the Right started losing the popular vote they didn't give up

Apparently someone in the Marines has sabotaged their deployment in LA. Not surprised to see both reactionary and progressive factions in the military - always the way in situations of social crisis.

They literally told soldiers who *didn't* agree with this shit that they were excused. It's a self-selecting sample

Listen there's still a lot up in the air and don't get me wrong I am scared shitless. But also the path to defeat Trumpism is a lot wider right now than it was a week ago

1989, "Color revolutions," and Euromaidan should honestly be the models here, not the 60s. Fundamentally protests in the US today are about the regime itself.

I mean, everyone's right IN PART. There's Waters, Kamala and even Newsom on one hand, and Fetterman on the other. Which is why it's bullshit rather than a lie

'what if we could do class politics taken pure, without any of this social signalling bullshit' you cant and anyone who tries gets taken over by nazis because most people conceive of class in cultural and not strictly labor-relational terms

It is a belief that whites are the most important constituency. Simple.

Like "weird", everybody rolls their eyes at TACO or explains why it's problematic, but will get REALLY angry at the Dems when they stop saying it

Both right-wingers and left-wing defeatists believe in the "Green Lantern" theory of fascism.

Pundits: "The most important currency in modern politics is authenticity, Democrats just don't get that."
Also Pundits: "Why didn't the DNC individually vet, script and dress all 2,000 people at this street protest in a way that a bad faith Fox News producer couldn't exploit?"

Something Ukrainians learned very well over the last few years is that even if you do somehow manage to maintain perfect discipline and give bad faith actors no openings to present you as evil, they will just run footage from some other country 15 years ago and claim it's you this week.

Oh fuck, "Eurasia enjoyer". Should have checked before arguing with an actual Duginist lolol

Well, thanks for proving my point that watching atrocity footage on repeat cooks your brain.

"Bullshit propaganda"
You are aware that real atrocities happened on 10/7, correct?

A paranoid writes: what if that whole schmoozing with Charlie Kirk and Joe Rogan and waffling on trans issues was kayfabe, meant to lull Trump into a false sense of security?!?
Of course it wasn't, lol, Newscum is just an opportunist, but wouldn't it be nice

I beg you to consider the IDF trying to force Greta Thunberg to watch 10/7 footage to turn her pro-Zionist, and consider how well that will work

The question is not "show what's happening", the question is "deliberate self-harm via repeated unnecessary exposure to atrocity footage". Anyone who does OSINT or content moderation knows the danger of cooking your brain on that stuff.

I literally saw on Twitter some Bhakt offer his unconditional support to Israel, a Zionist responding "piss off and go shit in the street, curry-muncher, we don't need your help", and the Bhakt thanked him for his response

As others have commented, "bearing witness" is a religious/moral imperative, not a political one.
There is a real link between purposeful exposure to real-life footage of atrocities, and bad mental health/ political judgment. Exposure to CSAM does similar things to children's rights advocates.

Considering your take on Impeachments 1 and 2, this is not a take in good faith
