    Why do Marxists say ‘liberals will always side with fascists’? That’s preposterous and offensive.

    its not even true if she said she was against genocide and would put a stop to it as soon as she had power and openly criticized Biden for his support of genocide she would get waaaaay more votes. But also genocide is just straight up too high a price regardless of what is in the other side of the scale.

    This whole thing of attempting to identify the epitome of a certain party is pretty pathetic. Why cant we just agree the person on this picture is nothing more than a brainwashed idiot devoid of empathy. And ironically this makes the OP of this post the same, a brainwashed idiot who cant just see people for who they are rather than plaster a label and generalize a wide population.

      Turns out when something happens a lot, it’s more useful to try to view it systemically than to write each person individually off as an “idiot devoid of empathy”. “Brainwashing” is a myth, but pretending it’s real, who do you think “brainwashed” this guy? Surely not Republicans, they’ve got their own attitudes and talking points that are unhinged but distinct from this.

    Well, as assholish as he is, at least that guy is honest.

    If people started likewise admitting that they are genociding Ukrainians (because hey, it also hurts Russia, so it’s worth it) instead of “but we are helping Ukraine!” that would already be a huge progress…
