I can be a white ~~self-proclaimed~~ actual socialist complaining about Biden, hating having to vote for him, and still vote against fascism. You're trying to reduce us all to villains throwing away democracy when you should be blaming the Dems for running shitty platforms that steer ever-rightward since the 90s and alienating unions, blue collar folks, and anyone who gives a fuck about stopping genocide.
Wait, I think I get it… by blaming people like me (who, again, will vote for Biden against fascism, yet again) and people with similar politics, you don't have to take responsibility for not demanding more of the Dems. I literally just realized this. It makes a lot more sense with that in mind.
If you need anything more than "the other guy is an actual fascist", you're not just not a leftist, you're a fascist yourself.
You don't get to distance yourself from choosing to be a fascist just because other people made choices you don't like.
There is no combination of other people's choices which gives permission for you to choose to be a fascist.
I am honestly shocked and horrified I have to write all that out to you sir, madame, or other such title "actual socialist", who probably at all other times will harp on about how da libz don't take the threat of fascism seriously enough, while here you try to make excuses for the fascists in our midst because what, you think they make a good argument?
They are fascists, they do not have arguments, they have words that are your abject failure as a leftist for allowing to spill out before delivering a swift and firm suckerpunch to the face.
Fascists don't get justified, they get bashed. End of story.
Fuck you. I am of the punch-a-nazi mindset. I have advocated this elsewhere on Lemmy. You don't know shit about my politics. For which fascists have I apologized? You can claim whatever you like about me without knowing me. Your arguments (regarding me) have no basis in reality.
"Oh, let me complain about 'so called leftists / socialists' and then attack someone who claims to be on that side and tell them that they aren't who they claim to be." You must be great at parties.
