      Oh fuck off with that, I’ve attended physical protests calling to end the genocide of Palestinians, can you say the same? Or did you simply sit behind your keyboard and go “not voting is the only real way to protest guys totally”

        No, you fuck off with that you selfish lib. I hope Trump treats you with the same lack of consideration you give to foreigners who aren’t “your friends”.

          Clearly one person can’t care about strangers who are being genocided and also their friends who are at risk of being killed at the same time, after all, the human brain can only handle concern for 1 group of people at the same time!

          Trump has repeatedly said he is on the side of Israel, if you think him getting into power will somehow stop the genocide, you need to get your head examined, and you seem to be the one with the liberal attitude of “id rather minorities die so I can get a symbolic victory!” Quit your moralizing and log off, lib.

              Uh huh, and where was that exactly? Point it out lib, go on, if it’s the “holy fuck some of my friends might die” that wasnt me expressing disinterest or apathy in Palestinians, that was me sick of you lazy idiots who have, time and time again, never attended an actual protest or done anything of use to help marginalized groups telling me that the only way to truly be helpful and save people is to let the worse dictator get power, even if he explicitly states he intends to wipe out marginalized groups.

              No, what you did was a parapraxis, you read what you wanted to read, and you wanted to read that people can’t really care about 2 problems at the same time.

              The response to an impending genocide isn’t to go “ah well we’ll solve the other genocide first” it’s to work at preventing both genocides simultaneously, I understand if the concept of doing more than one thing at a time is confusing to you but you really should reevaluate your priorities and internal biases

                It literally was though.

                Not that it matters, voting Biden isn’t going to save you from fascism, you supported the neoliberal machine, have fun getting ground up by it.

                  Have you taken a reading compression class? The "but under Trump the existing issue will continue and also " is implied, it’s really telling that you don’t read “I don’t like either dictator but I’d prefer the minimum amount of people die” and but somehow read “I will pick this genocide over the other”

                  You also haven’t addressed any of my other comments pointing this out. Instead, you have been constantly and intentionally dense. Your argument is literally “nuh uh!!” And calling me a lib, instead you are constantly projecting a version of me up that is much more negative than the text I’ve written.

                  Now, I have been in a doom spiral before and this sounds like how I would act in one, constantly assuming the worst of any message. They can be rough and only get worse with isolation, I admit I have insulted you in the heat of the moment, however, if you are currently experiencing a doom spiral, message me to vent and I will not judge you, and I will do my best to calm you down, otherwise, please stop trying to convince me you know better than I do about my own thoughts, thanks

                    You are a lib, and I’m glad that under trump you might be subject to the same treatment that you have supported against others.

                    You misunderstand me; I’m not trying to convince you of anything, I know that’s impossible. I just want you to know that, after liberals have done everything in their power to successfully destroy any hope of stopping American fascism, I can at least take some solace in watching you freak out as you realize that the machine you’ve built won’t spare you.
