How many dead Palestinian kids will it take for you to change your vote?

Newacctidk's sister is right. One can have principles and still live in the real world. Dooming the Palestinians AND hundreds of other groups is called being callous, not principled.

A large flaw in Hexbear's dialogue is that it does not regard outsiders ignorance. Hexbear is mostly an insider group where established axioms and knowledge are shared as common knowledge, and therefore not entirely elaborated. It isn't a substitute for dialogue, but becomes an echo chamber - fine in its own right - and stifles understanding of right and wrong to "vibes".

We should know, intellectually and not only emotionally, why your assumption and the human rights attorney's assumption are flawed.

Your assumption should lead to a question rather than a definitive conclusion. The question should be : How do persecuted groups in the US going to suffer under Biden & Harris?

Of course, the entire premise is that voting is the most important and sometimes sole act of political agency that can actually change the politics of the state. Ask yourself, is that true? Has not foreign and domestic policy remained consistent among administrations and Congresses in its degradation of quality of American life for the past 50 years?

Yeah when it comes to Marx or capitalist esoterica, but not anti-genocide or anti-fascist rhetoric, on those topics we sound no different from TikToks with a million and one likes, or old reddit before the purge, shit I've seen "Hexbear" in Youtube comment sections dating back all the way to the first yellow parenti or grainy Chomsky vids

The problem isn't our "dialogue" the problem is that we're latched to the hip with a dollar store version of 4chan made up of uniquely uneducated people who thought post-2020 reddit was too "woke", and we as a forum have a bad case of denial about it, because frankly it's a little embarrassing in terms of association

Yeah, that's a better way to put it. I was trying to be diplomatic but the topic at hand is too far severe to give anyone the benefit of the doubt.
