Yeah, and the current victims of racism are those not recognized. Obviously. Anything else would be provably false. If anyone can correctly wish one that is, you win self respect.
Then how do you get information if your not on one side or the other? I been pretty middle ground for a majority of things to hear both sides and just didn't like what the left was doing.
I would add, always take a position on each issue based on your own researched facts. Choosing a “side” leads to group think and really awful decisions made by followers, not thinkers. Judge each issue on its own merits and then fight for what you personally believe in.
Hmmmm I don't 100% agree since cases where the "victim" líes so they can fuck up the "bully" who actually didn't do anything wrong exists. But yeah, sometimes the bully is the bully and should be punished asap
This quote is overly simplistic. Take someone like Oskar Schindler, for example—he chose a side by covertly helping the Jews while outwardly appearing to cooperate with the Nazis. In some situations, openly declaring your allegiance can mean risking your life.
Exactly! This is exactly why we must be vocal about dismantling the terroristic genocidal apartheid state of Israel. 300,000 murdered Palestinians so far and the bloodlust has only increased
You are equating the Jewish religion with the state of Israel. That is wrong. The Jewish religion is beautiful. My problem is with the genocidal apartheid state using its religion as a shield while they displace and murder hundreds of thousands. Genocide is not a Jewish value.
And yet you won’t admit what will happen if you get your wish and the state of Israel is dissolved. What their government is doing to the Palestinians is terrible, but a two state solution is the only solution that will ever come to pass that won’t lead to Jews being slaughtered by Muslims.
Your Islamophobia is showing. Jewish people and Islamic people lived side by side in the region for many hundred years. The only solution that doesn't end in ethnic cleansing is a one state solution. A state that doesn't practice apartheid. This is the most popular sentiment in the region
Doesn't it depend on the issue? Of course, I understand why Wiesel said that. However, if every single person is always taking sides, even on issues tangential to their interests, the world will fall apart. Sometimes, don't be afraid to offer perspective instead of support.
Sometimes, that is true and unfounded wealth. Neutrality leads to confusion and mass hysteria. Nobody can enjoy anything once everybody stucks in the feedback loop of Neutrality and MADness ( mutual assured destruction).
I used to be neutral, and proud about it. Now I know that if I'm not for the cause, then I'm against it. When you see evil you can't take your time to choose which side is better.
Also means that there aren’t always just 2 sides.. it’s okay to pick a side even if it’s “your side” where no majority agrees, be independent, think for yourself
Third party voters are part of the reason but we also cant deny the democratics incompetancy and how republicans completely dominate social media and are just generally better at getting their message out
This is more about people who wanted to act as if it was a reasonable centrist approach to waffle between a verifiable fascist and a mediocre lawyer lady with a goofy laugh. Pretending there's any equivalence there is an incredibly dangerous and quite frankly a stupid stance.
I’ll agree if someone was debating between republicans and dems and chose republicans, you’re a different breed of goofy.
However, someone saying both choices were terrible, was the correct assessment. Wether you chose 3rd party or lesser evil and picking dems I can respect on a level
We can discuss the flaws of the dnc and democrat messaging and it’s all valid. At the same time people also need to take personal responsibility for voting against their own interests. It’s not 2016 where you can say “I didn’t know”. All the info is out there at this point.
You forget the onslaught of GOP attacks against voters in red states since the 2020 election. Closing polling places, passing voter suppression laws. At best, blaming your fellow voters is sowing discord when we need to build bridges.. actually that's also the worst thing because it helps the GOP
Thats true, many conservitive states purposefully get rid of nessasy resourses such as welfare, infrastructure or education to hinder their voterbase and keep them voting red
You are just bitter and misguided. If every 3rd party voter switched to Harris, she still would have lost. She performed poorly because she ran a poor campaign and didn't address the concerns of people as effectively as the other side did
I find this line of thinking disturbing
We're Forced to only access a 2 party system
when options are there
Forced to choose the lesser evil
as evil evolves & goes through its own inflation
Forced to keep feeding into the toxicity
then whinge as things get worse & berate those who try for change
I don’t have the privilege of your philosophy. The real world consequences of the next four years under Trump could mean I lose actual family members to nicely wrapped little American bombs. So thanks for that
I can't afford the privilege of your fear and assumptions
I didn't vote 3P
I have to seek political asylum because I can't go back to the states after my family is legally free
You aren't the only one with friends/family at risk
I'm not your punching bag
I think there's confusion on the word "neutral". I am decidedly not assisting any side. I yield no aid to oppression nor ally. I chose to stand above it. No, it's not sticking my head in the sand, either. I simply do not associate myself with the conflicts that have no bearing on my livelyhood.
I do feel for everyone involved I just honestly think war and conflict [Russia,Ukraine, Gaza, Isreal and so on and so forth] is theirs. What am I supposed to do to help anyone? I have no money.. plenty of people just slap bumper stickers on their car or carry signs. I am not helping with stickers.

TAKE A SIDE..
In a broader sense though, the right wing must be ready to disregard any and all aspects of reality and of history.
A 'liberal' perspective is literally just living in reality.
However I always do take sides when on the sides proves to be evil, corrupt and looking to exploit or hurt the other side.
It’s now banned in some Rape State schools.
Holocaust denialism is sickeningly alive.
Do you think he ever met Netanyahu?
I Wonder, would he say the same now?
I’d like to think so, but …

Expecting people to admit fault or to even be self reflective enough to recognize their mistake is wishfull thinking at best
Not that I disagree with you
If ya don't know, ask your frickin phone!
