Yup. You’re also a tankie if you can predict what’s going to happen in more than a week from the present moment.

I’m not a liberal

Don’t care what you call yourself, I’m going off what you actually say.

I don’t consider them to be more valuable

Your statements make it undeniably obvious that you do.

All I’m saying is that if we’re measuring the degree of the slide into fascism, one side is significantly more accelerationist about it.

See? You immediately demonstrated that you don’t consider Palestinian lives to be as valuable as Americans. That’s the only way you could think that the Democrats are not already fully slid into fascism.

I also value nuance in the conversation about the state of things.

Oh please, you have no nuance here, just chauvinism.

One of the more likely paths to community building in the states is through the union movement, so electing the people spending 10x as much to physically assault the working class and actively grinding down any protections unions have is, uh, still pretty bad.

Lol, as if the Democrats are friends of organised labour. What a fucking joke. You’re also, once again, showing how little you value the lives of foreigners. Your union isn’t worth the lives of half a million Palestinians.

BlueMAGA liberals have literally expunged all memory of the Biden administration from their brains. For them it’s 2022 and Trump is on his second consecutive term.

These people have literally expunged their own memories of the fact that there was already an “after Trump”. And they used it to double down in American brutality before letting Trump back into office.

“I’m trying to keep the murder machine going long enough to stop it from murdering people!”

Fucking liberal ideology in a nut shell.

After we get Trump out of office, we can start dismantling western chauvinism.

You got Trump out of office, and instead of “dismantling western chauvinism”, you instead decided to actively engage in the worst genocide of the 21st century, with such determination that you were even willing to let Trump win the election rather than stop.

Liberals consider the lives of two Americans killed by ice to be more valuable than the lives of two hundred thousand Palestinians killed by American bombs

You outright tried to claim that Democrats weren’t doing it until you were challenged.

Yes they were

Oh, ok. So when you said they weren’t, you were lying?

Would you rather have hand-wringing neoliberals with some accountability, or hardcore right wing authoritarian nazi republicans with no accountability?

Given that, unlike most liberals, I consider foreigners to be human, both of them are genocidal fascists.

One leads to a new holocaust in the US, the other leads back to the status quo.

As ever, shitlibs only care about human life within the US border. And the status quo was both monstrous and what lead directly to the current situation, so wanting to Retvrn to it is some reactionary shit

Your daily reminder that liberals don’t consider non-westeners to be human.

Democrats were literally building concentration camps and funding ICE when they were in power too.

You’ve never read a single peer reviewed paper on the subject.

Also, there are countless psychology experiments demonstrating the corrupting influence of power

Bullshit there are, cite your sources or shut up

Power always corrupts.

Source: idk, people say it as a cliche a lot so it must be true!

In the west it mostly goes public (and not much gets done about it apparently), but changes are made and things do generally improve in the long term. In china it is all done behind closed doors, and is about protecting bureaucracies. For me the "public vs “private” behaviour is the most important difference. When issues are public is there a chance for the public to have a voice, but when it’s all behind closed doors what chance do the public have?

Lol. Deeply unserious.

If you have a King who puts into place policy that creates wealth, safety, and comforts for his people; that’s a king, not an authoritarian dictator.

So an absolute monarchy will vacillate between being authoritarian and not based solely on the moral character of the particular king in power, even though the system remains the same?

What a cursed set of flags

You say, while defending the DNC elsewhere

Already happening in some places, like Australia. Though I’m not sure if they’ll actually be able to enforce it.

Sounding like the villain from Doctor strangelove

As if the US didn’t have that before
