Oh fuck off, plenty of my Minnesota comrades who are out there fighting ICE are Marxist-Leninist. You dont “see MLs driving out ICE” because we don’t fucking wear ID tags with our ideology on them, fuckwit. You’re just making up shit and running with it (like that Marxists have some “purity” test against voting even though plenty did vote for De la Cruz but refused to vote for a fascist genocidal Democrat which is ACTUALLY what pissed of liberals like you).

Just because we have no interest in partaking in your meaningless ritual doesn’t mean we aren’t out there making up a good portion of the front line against fascism.

Russia goes out of its way to avoid civilian casualties, US goes out of its way to kill as many civilians as possible, and Israel’s raison d’être is to kill civilians - all of them.

And to preemptively respond to the dronies planning to bleat about how Russia is pure evil incarnate orcs and how anyone on the internet who would deny that all Russians are child murdering demons must be a Kremlin bot: You don’t have to approve of Russia to recognize that it has valid material reasons for trying to minimize civilian casualties especially in the areas where the fighting is taking place. It is not a claim that Russia is doing it out of the kindness of their hearts but because it has a vested interest in a population it intends to govern.

The US on the other hand doesn’t intend to govern Iran. It intends to either install a puppet government that does whatever the US wants including that the puppet be responsible for the suppression of the Iranian people. Or just as good if not preferable, the US intends to completely balkanize Iran and transform it into an ungoverned failed state.

Israel does not intend to govern the Gazan people, it intends to wipe them out completely and replace them entirely with Western Jewish settlers.

Ok, so unfortunately it seems you’re not capable of following a conversation or understanding what is happening around you. I tried to help ya out kid, but you just aren’t giving me anything to work with here. Good luck, you’re going to need it.

even though that post was removed by mod for some reason.

Just want to point out that the reason that one comment of yours got removed (I presume - I didn’t do it, I’m not a mod) was because you were explicitly blaming non-voters for the genocide.

There were many many people who didn’t vote in the last election because they saw that both “meaningful” options were fascists, the blue flavored ones who were currently in power at the time and who were already committing the genocide and promising to do it even harder if reelected OR the red (orange) flavored fascist who also promised continued genocide. The people who refused to vote for any genocidal fascists regardless of flavor are not responsible for the fact that the genocide continued unsurprisingly under the red flavor.

So when fans of the blue fascists come in here upset their blue flavor didn’t win and start blaming the rest of us (when the blame actually belongs squarely on the shoulders of their blue candidates for their abject failure to do the bare minimum and simply oppose literal genocide) it just turns into a blue MAGA shit-flinging episode that we’ve already dealt with and debunked countless times. So the mods nip it in the bud and remove comments that wrongly blame people with anti-genocide principles for the genocide. And your comment got a little too close to that line. So, now you know.

lol, I was perfectly calm and not angry in the least. That’s still the case. In fact I was stoned and probably a little too chill when I wrote the above comment. If you read anger into that, you were waaay off.

Tbh, I was feeling generous and taking the time to explain to you why everyone here was downvoting you about things you didn’t seem to understand as a gesture of good faith and good will, trying to help out what appeared to me to be a naive baby leftist (something most of us were at some point), not wanting you to feel bad for getting so trounced.

At this point, assuming you’re sincere and aren’t just a derail troll, I think the only thing for you is to lurk moar.

They mean that you talk big about “our work” as activists, all while you’re here spending your time and a not insignificant amount of your energy posting about a non-issue.

Look, I’m going to level with you here under the assumption your heart is in the right place and that you really do do some actual activism. First of all, you’re making this shit about you in a post detailing the mass murder of school children. You (when not posting cringe on lemmy) are really in the streets protesting against the murderous, imperialist, genocidal actions of the United States? Good! Keep it up, though I hope you’re doing so as part of an organization. But it is hard to imagine that you really are when you’re here, thinking it’s important enough to argue the “not all whites men USians!” line.

Even setting aside the fact that directing your indignant energy towards yourself and demanding others do the same, like you are the aggrieved party in a post about the bombing of children in other countries is cringe… Literally no one who says “the US is a terrorist state” is implying that every individual between Mexico, Canada and the Pacific and Atlantic oceans is a terrorist, or that every single one of them condones the terrorism that the US is committing, or even that some of them aren’t actively in opposition to it. What you are arguing about is not relevant. And what’s more, it’s petty and self centered.
