    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.

        Its only useful or should i say effective for cases where there isnt much variability.

        But If you genuinely look deeply into why theres so much division/apathy toward one another youll will realize that it is because of that very line of thinking that you advocate. You will ignore the voices of reason and only give your attention to the loud extremist minority and you will treat that as the voice of the majority.

        Its a bit wild if you dont believe brainwashing doesnt exist, i would like to know why you believe that.

        As for this poor bastard, if we assume its, hes brainwashed because hes convinced himself that every opposing person thinks exactly the way he believes so he treats them accordingly. If brainwashing isnt to be conditioned to act/believe a certain way as calculated then idk what brainwashing is

          Stop whining, you are voting on a perpetrator of genocide, and you know it, and you just lied again, the very same lie:

          Never was ok with genocide

          It’s even funny to you

          like every person who doesnt agree with you is a brainwashed democrat?

          No, you aren’t brainwashed, you are very cosncious, cynical even, genocide supporter.

    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…

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

    time was that fascists did fascism to “defeat judeobolshevism”, but they seem to have stumbled on a cheat code.

    now they’re doing fascism to defeat fascism. much neater, more self-contained.
