Liberal Brain Rot (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

I'm seeing so much deflection from liberals when it comes to Biden's and democrat's support and enabling of genocide. Just basic criticism of Biden's support of Israel is met with "Trump would be worse" which basically means we should actively support the current genocidal maniac in power and deflect from any criticism of his support, thus enabling the genocide. It's pretty pathetic that's the only counter argument they have, that he is worse than Trump, but the logic of it doesn't even make sense.

Like I understand these people don't actually care about the genocide and that it's just a bad look or whatever which means they need to punch down even harder on any criticism. They see the obvious criticism and how people are disgusted with him and other democrats and are afraid that will loose them votes. They see 20% non-committed in the Minnesota primary for example where party loyalists are saying they would rather not vote for anyone than him, and it scares them. Those votes come from party loyalists and these are the people who is suppose to convince others to vote for Biden, and they can't even muster enough to do it themselves.

So I have some advice for liberals who want Biden to win. Stop deflecting and start demanding and protesting for an end to democratic support of genocide. Even if you don't actually give a shit about the genocide, more and more people are going to die, more and more horrific mass graves are going to be uncovered. Until the election it's only going to get worse not better. More and more people are going to be disgusted with the idea of voting for him. So do yourself, and everyone else, a favor and stop deflecting any criticism of Biden's genocide.

Anyone who tries to get me to go along with genocide now is going on a big list labeled "people who are not allowed in my house or mutual aid group when shit gets worse here."

Like it sounds like a joke, but do consider it. Say Trump wins again, and starts doing all the brownshirt things you say he will.

Now you have no allies. You burned your bridges with the left, insisting we were "authoritarian" for opposing weapons to literal nazis in Ukraine and crying that we're antisemetic for opposing weapons to literal fascists in Isreal. You're choosing genocide over having any friends to rely on in the future. That's suicidal in practical as well as moral terms.

We are witnessing in real time what it must have been like to be one of precious few anti-Nazis in 1930s germany.

I'm with you on that. I owe nothing to someone who is actively working to make mine and everyone else's lives worse.

Your mutual aid group won’t help you in a fascist state.

You’ll be rounded up and killed like the rest of us.

It already is a fascist state, and you're trying to convince me to throw another group of people into the genocide machine first because you think it will save us. Reread the Neimoller poem and stop being a cowardly Good German.
