I'm just interested in reality, is all.
If someone shows up and says "HITLER HAD THREE EYES" I'm like, no, he didn't, he had two. If someone shows up and says Biden hates labor, I say, no he doesn't, and then I give some explanation why. If they then say "HOW CAN YOU SUPPORT HITLER/BIDEN WHEN HE DID A GENOCIDE," I can point them to some comments where I also said that genocide is bad, but at the end of the day Hitler still had two eyes.
This system where any "support" for Biden by talking about good facts about Biden, when he's also yes assisted the US's longstanding policy of helping the Israelis kill brown people, is a Republican-like thing. If someone says a good thing about a Democrat they say "HOW CAN YOU SUPPORT THEM WHEN THEY'RE A MARXIST / CHILD MOLESTER / WHATEVER." I don't operate that way. Telling the truth is not a forbidden act, even if it crosses up the lines you've chosen for who the allies and enemies are.
If that means I am "singing praises" then sure.
For me anything short of ending capitalism is not pro labour, but I will not mistake you for being pro genocide for disagreeing. Have seen @brain_in_a_box@lemmy.ml around a few times, and sometimes they do keep their brain somewhere else than their head, sometimes not. The above seems to be one of the former.
