Do you not care about GENOCIDE???
/s
Genocide Joe!
Making sure the party that continually starts new wars in the Middle East gets elected will surely help my cause!
“Yeah but you support GENOCIDE!”
You say 'Genocide Joe!' like he didn't actually support and enthusiastically aid a genocide.
Good thing he wasn't on the ballot then
Good thing the candidate that was on the ballot wasn’t associated with him or his administration in any way and also vigorously denounced genocide at every opportunity! Right? … right??
Right, Harris sucked. So glad I didn't vote and Trump won instead. That has worked out so much better for Iran and the rest of the world, too. Could you imagine even trying to justify voting in the last election?!?!
Oops, that damn goalpost keeps moving around! Better tie it down!
the goal post has never moved from "try to leave the world better because of me or worse in spite of me, rather than better in spite of me or worse because of me"
What goalpost? The goal is to make things better than other alternatives. Harris was better than Trump. It was a choice between the two. It's very simple. How do people not get that?
You probably also don't know that Kamala was the only one who could legally step in once Biden dropped out.
But sure, blame her for the handcuffs that were placed on her. Fuck that bitch.
"If it hadn't been for Genocide Joe, I'd been married long time 'go..."
It must be so nice having worldviews that can be fully encapsulated by trolley memes
Well first you gotta gimme an example of one that wouldn’t fit.
I guess the view that I want to articulate could be represented as a trolley meme with the following changes:
If I try to simplify these changes, though, then maybe I could depict my view a bit like this?
Ngl I seen trolly memes set up like this before :p
Perhaps I should have said "worldviews that can be encapsulated by single-junction trolley memes", lol
But hey, that's just theory...
GAME THEORY
i'm somewhat of a centrist so i think it's gotta be somewhere between these two:
Those are both encapsulated at the bottom of the meme!
i mean not really, it's not out of moralism that i choose not to vote for genocidal warmonger red/blue, in fact the moralism is thinking voting for genocidaires is 'pragmatic'. not to mention continuing to votescold people over a year later lmao
organizing outside electoralism builds actual power. voting for slightly different managers of the same bloodthirsty war machine doesn't
While organizing outside electoralism is great, electoralism is still the primary way power is apportioned in this country. Abandoning electoralism is ceding power to people who will use it for evil.
The stakes are the future of the world.
if the 'future of the world' hinges on genociding an expendible out-group and the system is powerless to change that, then i choose to walk away from omelas
Congratulations on standing by your principles instead of by your morals.
voting against genocide and organizing outside a system which can't stop empowering genocidal warmongers is actually in line with both my principles and my morals
Needs to be updated to add the Iranian flag to the GOP track. Man, do I wish there were a realistic way to choose that bottom track!
Can you explain this to me like I'm dumb? Cause I am. Is this making fun of the people who choose someone who's literally not connected to the track?
So, actually that question though? Genocide used to be a really, really bad thing, and here you're making light of it. I feel like people have lost the plot a bit if they talk about an actual genocide like this. "Yeah, sure they committed a bit of genocide, but have you seen the other guy?" I feel like I'm losing my mind
Yes, genocide is bad. You know what's worse? MORE genocide. That's what we got from people not voting because of it.
If you market yourself as being against fascism, maybe don't vehemently support a different fascist regime and shout down anyone who questions it.
The fact that people like you are spending your energy getting pissy with the voters and not the fucking Democratic party who refused to change their stance is fucking insane.
We have had years of constant video footage of it happening. Being desensitized is bound to happen.
I don't know what kind of person could look at parents being handed the remains of their child in plastic baggies and at any point in their life go "oh wow are they still going on about the genocide?"
That isn’t what they were saying tho.
No, no one is saying those words exactly. But I see the sentiment be expressed in threads like this over and over, and it just doesn't compute.
