- Comment on Netanyahu Promises the “Final Stage” of Gaza Genocide Will Lead to Implementation of “Trump’s Plan" 3 days ago:
The Democratic nominee then went on to use terminology usually used in reference to Iran to refer to Israel. “The expansion of Israel and its proxies is an absolute fundamental necessity for the US to have the steady leadership there,” said Walz, while mistakenly referring Israel to Iran.
So the actual argument here is that despite all context, despite the question being about support for Isreal, despite what he said being perfectly cogent and despite his being immediately pulled back from public view by and angry DNC…despite all of this, he must have actually been talking about Iran, because he said ‘proxies’ and that’s a propaganda term we use for Iran, soo…he must have just meant to talk about Iran in this answer about supporting Israel for some reason. That’s the actual argument of this piece.
You must not have read it, right? There’s no way you would link me the war propaganda equivalent of this …
…if you knew in advance how utterly craven and hollow it was.
You expect me to believe that Tim Walz was trying to say something that didnt make any fucking sense, and accidentally flubbed his way into saying something that does make sense and lines up with the US government’s actual deeds. Furthermore, you expect me to believe this was just a meaningless flub despite that party being so mad about it that they never let him do a speech or debate after that.
You are breathlessly praising the fine stitching of the emperor’s clothes, I am looking at an imperial penis.

She certainly wouldn’t be pushing to build a resort
No, she would have quietly let the Free Market sort it out instead of making openly making money from her role in the genocide, which would just be garish.
And at one point (before she was a candidate) she was pushing to have Israel investigated so they could legally block support.
Yes, I’ve been assure she was working tirelessly for a ceasefire the whole time, somehow. If that’s true, I guess she’s just terminally ineffective at her supposed job then.
It’s no surprise that she parroted the party line in an effort to get elected.
The party line, in this case, being the extermination of Palestinians.
So what you’re saying is, she’s a politically ineffective coward who isn’t even a nazi in her heart but went along with it hoping to attain power. A fascist and a loser.

Congratulations tankies, you got your widespread unrestrained genocide.
Hey so I know this is just bad faith projection from someone who can’t accept that they threw away their humanity supporting a doomed fascist ethnostate. I know that. So rather than dignify your childlike ego protection with a similar response, allow me to highlight a concrete reality instead:
While you sit there, totally unable to accept your culpability in arguing for the “necessity” of genocide, spinning soothing tales to invert history and absolve yourself and lashing out at those who don’t entertain them, tankies were putting their lives on the line to stop the genocide you voted for.
Fortunately, unlike the liberal “Resistance”, these antifascists won’t immediately fold and become an entire party of enthusiastic collaborators the moment an opportunity presents itself.

I want to make very, very sure you read my entire comment. People spending Christmas without power is all it takes for you to put on the armband and throw your support behind the “gas em all 1488 racial holy war now” faction and become an enemy of like 90% of humanity? Incredible unprompted mask drop. Like, for real? Because that shit happens in war all the time dude. Even if I don’t think it’s a good thing, you don’t see me growing a little tiny mustache because I think Dresden was a bit much. Talk about maximalism, god damn.

🤷♂️If you keep getting downvoted by “the smart respectable people” for pointing out that they are neither of those things, eventually people will start to say “Shit, I’m agreeing with Muntedcrocodile (great name btw), I need to reconsider my opinions.”
As soon as you start picking at a blatant hypocrisy in the ruling ideology, you’re tarred with the same vague ‘bad guy’ brush as us.
