    Wow, you wrote all of that and didn’t think for a moment, “maybe my best interests are worse for others.” This is what zero material or systemic analysis does to your worldview. You think all of those people are just what, stupid? Too stupid yo know they should make decisions in your best interest regardless of how much the system that you benefit from has ruined their life? You’re the big smarty pants for acknowledging that these two genocidal parties have different tactics? How fucking delusional.

    Maybe extend a sliver of empathy --if you have even that much to spare --and consider how someone would feel to know they are supporting the same people that used sniper drones to pick off their little brother or their father or their mother or the fucking nice neighbour they grew up with. Maybe they don’t care if it hurts them individually to exercise some sort of control over the people that killed their family. Maybe, they think they don’t deserve to suffer the consequences of that system while the metropole lives in comfort.

    People don’t have to behave the way you want, and especially do not have to behave in a way that benefits you, understanding why is more important than pretending that there’s a few people who make this fundamentally genocidal system “worse.”

      Yes, my best interests like universal healthcare, universal basic income, human rights, not invading other countries, not supporting genocide… or what did you have in mind that you’d like to accuse me of?

      You think all of those people are just what, stupid?

      Well, yes. To borrow from another reply in here, when the option is BAD or WORSE you choose BAD every fucking time.

      You’re the big smarty pants for acknowledging that these two genocidal parties have different tactics? How fucking delusional.

      I’m sorry you fail at comprehension. I guess you’re not a big smart pants.

      Maybe extend a sliver of empathy

      Fuck off, this is a false accusation.

      and consider how someone would feel t

      Again, you can’t be bothered to comprehend anything I wrote.

      Just… fuck off, I’m not going to bother when you don’t bother reading.

        Very juvenile way to respond (even when ignoring how foolish it is to claim any federal politician in the US hasn’t supported genocide or that healthcare in the United States in any way benefits the targets of its genocides).

        You don’t have to make it public to actually reflect on the consequences of how you think. “You’re dumb and I don’t like what my words mean,” is not really the words of a person who I’d trust to vote in my best interests, anyway. Guess I can say you deserve whatever liberalism throws at you too.

            I don’t know how you could interpret this as, “polite.” I’m telling you that your worldview is genocidal. If I’m ignorant, please, tell me how you know what you know. I’d love to hear the decolonial scholars that you’ve engaged with so that I can be cured of my moral degeneracy.

              When you can’t even comprehend basic things and try to put things into my mouth I certainly didn’t say, I really don’t see the point, and I should have bailed on you much sooner, I’m just tired of people claiming to not want the fascists to win and yet doing things that help the fascists win.

                Right, so we should attack victims of genocide because they didn’t play nice with the white people in the white supremacist empire. What a non-fascist thing to say.

                I know this is an internet confrontation and you people treat this as a validation ritual, but I wouldn’t even say what you’ve said in private and still respect myself. There is no justification to think like this in the world we live in; you’re desperate to feel right even if that means being a fascist. Blocked.

      “Scratch a liberal, and a fascist bleeds.”

      What country do you vote in?

        Is this question meant to suggest I’m like, from the country of origin of this phrase? No Euro theorists allowed? Or is it that I’m meant to be somehow unaware of the practical conditions in the US by merit of ever suggesting that liberalism is not a practical solution?

                    Did you forget that there’s people in the US who aren’t allowed to vote? They’re what, not American? Not able to talk about this because they are legally barred from voting?

                    Desperate gotcha to suggest that I don’t know my home just because you get offended at the possibility of having to actually change how you think.
