I’m not even a liberal, and I was the one saying that Trump was the worse option.

Leftists were the ones saying, “you’re a hysterical bluemaga shitlib, you think every election is the end of democracy. Project 2025 is just corporate media hyperbole. Lesser of two evils isn’t valid, your hands are red for blood for supporting Killer Kamala you baby genocider. At least my hands are clean, I didn’t vote for a cop. Actually it would be good if Trump wins because at least liberal media will start criticizing Trump for the genocide in Gaza, unlike Genocide Joe”.

It’s an absolute joke you want to pretend like you were the one warning people about Trump.

Leftists’ weakness in modern America is a matter of numbers and organization; it’s a situational weakness. In contrast, liberals’ weakness to fascism is a categorical weakness.

This is just, “liberals need to take accountability, leftists don’t need to take accountability”.

Leftists not being able to beat fascists is a matter of leftists not being able to hold accountability for anything.

You like fighting liberals because liberals are nice and there’s no stakes. You like that liberals don’t have teeth, liberals play by the rules, liberals won’t hurt you. You’re afraid of fighting fascists, because fascists don’t believe in rules and will illegally disappear you without hesitation.

You hide from the bear to fight the bunny, then you whine that the bunny isn’t winning against the bear for you.

Leftists are also too weak and ineffectual to win that battle. Leftists are orders of magnitude weaker than liberals in the US.

If anything, leftists are busier driving the horizontal hostility that poisons worker solidarity and benefits fascists.

Ineffectual, yes. As for helping fascism, the ones who helped were the ones too busy fighting liberals to fights the fascists.

Like it or not, in the US the liberals were the primary opposition to fascists.

Conservative and Russian created propoganda managed to convince a lot of leftists that it was more important to fight liberals than fascists.

If you’re an American born white person, yes.

If you’re an immigrant, even a legal one, all bets are off. If you’re American born but you look like you maybe could be an immigrant, you’re in danger too.

Being rude to Nazis is good. Elon Musk is a Nazi. Musk sympathizers are Nazi sympathizers.

If you make Nazi sympathizers safe in your forum, your forum becomes a Nazi forum.

See: Nazi bar, paradox of tolerance.

Pay no mind to to the fascist oligarch overlords, somebody said something mean about a lemmy.world mod.

Elon dming lemmy.world mods now, or do they hope to curry favor with the oligarchs in advance?

Maybe lemmy.world will be the next reddit :)

Of course you think it’s violence because you think stuff is more valuable than actual human life.

People die

“Just a peaceful protest”

Giant huff of Musky beef tallow flatulence

“Putting a scratch on a car is peak violence”

Conclusion: musk farts cause brain damage.

Hot take: deontological ethics is a sad way to avoid taking responsibility for the consequences of your actions.

I don’t think the ends justify the means, and in equal measure I don’t think the means justify the ends.

Then take a step back and think which is a better way to fight the vast and sprawling abuses of fascism.

I’m all for hearing a better way of fighting fascism. Letting a death cult take control of all branches of government was definitely a method. I’m not going to stop listening but like… what the fuck are we doing?

When we think of what a bright future is, its a system of laws that irons out basic unfairness and brutality. We all want this. We disagree on how to get there.

Oh yeah, I want this, and I disagree very heavily with the death cult absolute power method. But I don’t have a choice now, it’s up to you now to prove that fighting alongside the death cult was the better choice.

I despise republicans, and always have, but I despise traitors on my own side even more.

Completely understandable on an emotional level, but if you’re not careful this can easily turn into an accidental alliance with Republicans, and it often does.

“We were all on board for a more business-friendly presidency

“More business-friendly presidency” is WILD.

Nearly every presidency of the last century has been pro-business, anti-worker. Federal protections for workers are nearly non-existent. Federal minimum wage is a joke. Wealth inequality is hitting all-time records.

Oligarch ghouls are so high in their ivory tower they have now clue how ordinary families on the ground are struggling.

It’s definitely not the left threatening fascists.

See again: weird left/MAGA alliance. Leftists and fascists united in their hate of liberals.

You’re the literal proof of this, you were more bothered with random liberals online than the fascists dripping bombs on Yemen.

who do you think let the fascists get in charge?

Everybody?

Obviously, first responsibility for fascists taking control goes to the fascists.

Next would be anyone who allies themselves with fascist or helps attack the opposition to fascists.

Next would be anybody complacent, who watched and did nothing.

Last would be the people who opposed the fascists.

In this context, bad opsec is hilarious.

In a dark comedy way.

I’m being facetious, a little satire, at your expense, because the call is coming from inside the house.

I think most people find this worth a laugh to cope with the horror of the reality, but you only seem to take this as a reason to be bad at liberals.

I suspect anything that fascists do is for you a reason to be mad at liberals.

Most blueMAGA thing I’ve seen today

You’re the most MAGA I’ve seen today, not that I’ve been online that much.

Gaza protests are going as strong as ever

From real activists, not a weird lemmy rando whose highest priority is beefing with liberals (actual or perceived), to prove what a “leftist” they are.

By the way I’m not MAGA; leftists hate liberals too.

Uniting around a shared hate of liberals is how the weird leftist/MAGA alliance happened.

It’s why leftists give MAGA a free pass on things like genocide.

That’s why you prioritize posting about randoms on social media you perceive to be liberals, and not the people dropping the actual bombs.
