Maybe we shouldn't have supported Ukraine if it meant supporting genocide

[–] Minarble@aussie.zone -1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

You seem very picky as to which genocide is ok.

The Russian land grab and physical and cultural genocide of Ukraine.

The Israeli land grab and physical and cultural genocide of Gaza/Palestine.

You can’t be absolutist about one and hand wave the other.

No purity for you.

The US is not currently causing the genocide in Ukraine.

The US has not spent 80 years covering for genocide in Ukraine.

The US has not spent 80 years being the attack dog of another nation commiting genocide in Ukraine.

I'm not in Russia. I was not born in Russia. I do not pay taxes to Russia.

And in a mirror universe where that decision got made someone's arguing "maybe we shouldn't have cut funding to Israel if it meant allowing the genocide in Ukraine."

Thank goodness the Democrats perpetuated the genocide in Gaza so they wouldn't lose to Trump! 🤦

Yup. I don't understand why people are talking like Harris isn't also pro-genocide. Obviously more Americans are going to die under Trump and that's a tragedy too, but why are people pretending the election was about Palestine?

The election was never about Palestine, ultimately the Dems lost of their own volition by running rightward with Liz Cheney. Rather than going with a safe win like ending support for genocide and running on a progressive platform, or even a Leftist platform (which the DNC would never do, for the record, even if it would win), they deliberately chose to lose to the reps. Their donors would rather have Trump than progressive Dems win.

More Americans would die under Harris as well. The US Empire is crumbling, even if Harris won that wouldn't stop that process, what's necessary is for the working class to get organized.

Meanwhile, Palestine burns and the Dems got away with it.
