Thank the gods we have these brave, pure, online leftists to stand up against fascism, for the sake of the lives of the oppressed.

50 years from now, considering that the USA elections changed nothing for Palestine either way (or maybe even made things worse for them under Trump now), the history books won’t be talking about these ‘brave’ heroes that sat out the vote for the sake of Palestine. They’ll be talking about all of the apathetic, zero empathy, selfish children who were happy to sit back and watch LGBTQ+ people and other minorities get their rights and dignity stripped from them because it didn’t affect them personally.
These guys chose their side and the history books will reflect that.
I would surmise that just about every turning point in history had a majority of people with no strong philosophical or moral convictions, only caring about themselves, their families, and their continued comfort and immediate safety. And I also find that history does not cast a whole lot of blame on them.
How often does dialogue about the Third Reich talk about the German farmers and bakers and factory workers who saw their neighbors and colleagues disappear, and the only reaction they could muster is shrug. “What can you do?” “They probably deserved it.”
