Genocide is not a new thing.Genocide is not a new thing. It’s always been around. And no matter how much people cry about it, it’ll continue regardless. It’s always been around. And no matter how much people cry about it, it’ll continue regardless.

I was just saying that there was also hostility and accusations against the anti-genocide left from the pro-genocide center.
Which continues to this day. Not gonna start accepting genocide just because you don’t like hearing that it’s wrong.

Were you not here for that same year when anyone who said that democrats shouldn’t be supporting genocide was accused of being a russian chinese trumper republican tankie bot? Oh, and as you accused in your comment just now, a child.
democrats still have no business supporting genocide. It’s shameful and there needs to be accountability. None is forthcoming.

Yeah, ordering delivery then getting naked seems like normal behavior.

- Comment on The highlighted division and factions of Lemmy. 1 week ago:
I didn’t call you or anyone else in this thread a tankie, because I actually agree with the premise that Lemmy could benefit from a more collaborative culture.
Then tell the people who supported genocide for a solid year. Oh wait. You agree with them about 100% of everything and wonder why I’m so hung up on a little genocide.
Progressives have been betrayed by the party for decades. We’ve watched the party come up with constant procedural bullshit to throw in their own way to block progressive policy for decades. And then we watched them ignore actual law because they wanted, dearly wanted netanyahu to have his genocide. And because we had the temerity to be upset at genocide, we’re being blamed for the loss democrats refused to let go of their only actual policy to avoid.
I don’t think there is any daylight between us when it comes to Trump or unions or healthcare or LGBTQ+ or protecting online speech or most other things.
Democrats slow-walked the trump investigations out of an unwillingness to pursue justice. They happily broke the rail strike. They let republicans set the narrative on trans people and did nothing to challenge that narrative at best, and actively participated in it by running republicans’ hateful “boys in girls sports” talking point in their own ads at worst. Their actions run contrary to their stated positions.
I don’t consider you an enemy at all, and I hope you think the same about me.
You have made it clear that you don’t want me to talk about topics on which we differ, on the grounds that expecting accountability from democrats is “divisive.”
- Comment on The highlighted division and factions of Lemmy. 1 week ago:
No one here brought up the Democratic Party or genocide except you.
This is a post about division on Lemmy.
And it sure would be nice for all the centrists who spent a solid year screeching abuse at anyone who dared to say that genocide was wrong if anyone who said it could be silenced by saying that they’re being divisive.
Meanwhile, I don’t see you saying boo to everyone who’s calling anyone to their left a tankie. “Divisive” is a club used by the orthodox to enforce orthodoxy.
You actually don’t have to demonstrate that. You can choose to find common ground in the culture of the platform and save the division for matters that are important to you in the communities that discuss them.
I can choose to agree with genocide or shut up. That’s the only thing you’re saying.

Nothing but performative worship of democrats for their support for genocide will ever satisfy centrists.
- Comment on The highlighted division and factions of Lemmy. 1 week ago:
You’re encouraging people to “stay home in well-earned disgust”.
I’m remarking on a genuine phenomenon. At no point did I tell anyone to stay home, but anyone who wants no criticism of the party interprets all criticism as such.
- Comment on The highlighted division and factions of Lemmy. 1 week ago:
It’s great that you agree with me on some things.
Democrats still need to listen to criticism. They still need to realize that there are things they can do that will cause people who would otherwise vote for them to stay home in well-earned disgust. Voters have standards, and when they see a party willing to do nothing for them and anything for a genocidal apartheid regime on the other side of the planet, the expectation of unquestioning enthusiasm takes a lot of gall.
You can blame voters all you want, but the party wasn’t failed by the voters. The voters were failed, repeatedly, over the course of decades, by a party that has no interest in ever actually representing them.

You were going to say that about anyone who didn’t agree with you about how great genocide is.
- Comment on The highlighted division and factions of Lemmy. 1 week ago:
No.
Centrists lie when they claim to agree with progressives, as indicated by their legislative accomplishments: blocking progressive legislation and arming genocide.
You may agree with them on those points, but don’t pretend that centrists care about anything else at all because they jyst fucking don’t.
- Comment on Republican? Democrat? There is a third option: 1 week ago:
It’s a genocide, no matter how frequently netanyahu’s simps keep trying to downplay it as a war.
And centrist democrats care about it a great deal. They were so devoted to it that they were willing to lose to trump instead of telling netanyahu no.
- Comment on Are there any games you don't play as it was intended to be played? If so, what game and how? 1 week ago:
All money not spent on rent to other players. Buy a property? Free parking. Buy houses? Free parking. Pay to get out of Jail? Free parking. Unmortgage a property? Free Parking.
For games where the game is background noise that you don’t care about because you’re there to have good conversation with friends. Because it makes the game last forever. And there are ridiculous reversals of fortune.
- Comment on Republican? Democrat? There is a third option: 1 week ago:
They promote taxing the rich and removing money from politics.
And then do none of that and support genocide instead.
- Comment on Republican? Democrat? There is a third option: 1 week ago:
You have to support your side if you want people to vote for them.
You have to silence critics if you want your party to continue supporting genocide, which you do.

It’s low for Garth Brooks in the 90’s, but I get what you’re saying.
- Comment on Commercials seem to be normalizing an unhealthy work-balance more. 1 week ago:
As recently as the 90s you had mainstream country acts releasing songs like “Pass it on Down” and “We Shall Be Free”
And they got a ton of play on the radio. The former hit number 3 on the billboard country charts. The latter hit number 12 on the country charts.
Then again, the lackluster performance of “We Shall Be Free,” particularly considering the megastardom of Garth Brooks at the time, was due to some stations boycotting it for the line “when we’re free to love anyone we choose.”
But even then, there wasn’t a massive company that owned most of the radio dial back then, so boycotts had limited influence.
