DivestOS seems like a solid choice too
He’s such a fucking creep.
Indeed - in retrospect, I probably should have illustrated both.
I’m like 50% sure you’re trolling me here. Was there something specific in the comment I referenced that didn’t make sense? Or did you not read it?
There’s no moral victory in what I posted. I’m trying to call attention to these useless attacks that disregard Palestinians.
And I only see one person mentioning not to participate in elections, unless somehow people I’ve blocked are allowed to comment or something?
sigh We shouldn’t have to constantly bring up every possible angle, every possible nuance, just to avoid accusations like this. The accelerationists are for sure another example of this. I wrote a more detailed explanation in another comment.
No, I’m not saying it’s just one or the other. What you describe is another example of this.
What motivated me to make this though, is the sheer quantity of these types of comments, combined with the knowledge that many of those who were in that situation of not wanting to vote for Harris felt that way because they had family that were killed by the administration sending over weapons. I don’t know about you, but if I had family that was gone as a result of this administration’s actions, I’m not sure I’d be able to bring myself to vote for them. And the type of comment I used in the image strikes me as particularly insulting given that context. The existence of Palestinians is ignored while they are simultaneously being used as a tool in the discourse. And no good can possibly come from a comment like this, aside from the commenter temporarily feeling better about themselves.
And to reiterate, yes, white people disregarding the very real genocidal consequences of not voting is also an example. But a lot of that was blown out of proportion too. The lesser of two evils logic holds in swing states, sure. But in states guaranteed to vote one way or the other, a protest vote largely doesn’t matter.
Hope that helped to clarify.
Basically, yeah. The example used in the video was about immigrant students potentially being doxxed by a conservative planning to give a speech at a university, with the “white moderates” being okay with this (not taking the “bluff”) as a part of their strategy. The point being that “weaponizing or disregarding students of color is still racism.”
The same kind of applies here. The commenter was using palestinians as a tool to attack the people they disagree with, completely disregarding the palestinians in the process.
Then they don’t have to use the word “pathological”. If they aren’t reminding people that the fascist liar is a liar, then they are part of the problem.
A better start to that would be:
“Trump, a pathological liar, has said he doesn’t know about Project 2025”
I had to unsub from them during the pandemic. Too much existential dread and they just kept piling it on with video after video lol
Thanks for sharing, gotta admit I needed to hear this
The fuck?
Who is saying both parties are the same? All I see are people misconstruing criticism of the Democratic party as meaning both are the same. Both parties have a lot of similarities, both are right wing, both support Palestinian genocide, but no one I’ve seen is suggesting they are the exact same unless you grossly misinterpret them.
That story still haunts me, and I’ve been trying to remember where it was from for over a decade.
I didn’t realize it was April 1st already.
“Alarmo” sounds like an elf name from Disenchantment.
That happened with Windows 8 and Vista as well. There was a running joke that every other Windows release was garbage when I was growing up.
I just started Astro Bot a couple days ago. I’m completely hooked, it’s so much fun. Looking forward to the new Zelda as well.
And started a co-op run of Baldur’s Gate 3 with a friend who hasn’t finished it yet. I can’t get enough of that game. Got into the modding scene recently too.
And yet you don’t show any examples for your bizarre claim. I swear y’all have more issues with the left than with fascists.
The reason many leftists don’t mention Trump is because there’s already consensus that he’s an awful person and a wannabe fascist dictator.
