    People don’t gravitate to boring and “safe”, they’re pushed there. How come fascists can go as wild as they want but no one can go wild for free healthcare, free education, and free shelter? There is clearly more at play here and it’s obvious from the low approval ratings all these shitty politicians receive.

      A lot of Democrats are wealthy suburban types. They want to support social freedoms, but they don’t want their taxes to go up.

      You are quite literally a genocide supporter. You support Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. I remember you from that other post about Ukraine where you were all of over the thread simping for Putin, blaming the US for the invasion, and calling the 2014 revolution in Ukraine a US orchestrated coup. You’re in no position to call out fascists when you’re one yourself.

      For anybody who’s curious, I highly recommend you read his comments on that read. This guy is nuts. Here is the link:

        Man this is RICH coming from you who has spouted Israeli ethnonationalist & Palestinian-genocide-denying rhetoric on this site. I was there for multiple instances of it. I’m not normally so direct with my comments about users I’m familar with (it can get real toxic real quick), and I think NATO is necessary and all and I’m against the Russian occupation of Ukraine, but your comment attacking hark is so laughably hypocritical that I can’t help it.

        Please do some self-reflection before attacking and trying to discredit a user claiming they’re a “genocide supporter” based on their opinion of Ukraine, when you’ve been much more verifiably pro-genocide. Unless you’ve shifted your opinion since the last time I’ve seen such comments, those seem far more genocide-friendly considering Palestinian casualties (mostly civilian) are multiple times the number of Israeli casualties (mostly soldiers), compared to the war in Ukraine where the Russians have actually taken signficiantly more casualties than Ukrainians and don’t primarily target civilians (compared to Israel which primarily targets civilians to terrorize the population). It’s not a stretch to say that Putin wants to Russify Ukraine further and destroy their culture, and that Russia has terrorized Ukrainians a lot, but to act as if a Ukrainian genocide is happening (to then use that to claim attacks on the Ukrainian government are pro-genocide) is disingenuous.

        Where in any of that did I support Russia’s invasion of Ukraine? Where did I “simp” for Putin? You saw me say that maybe the official US line isn’t the entire story and your brain short-circuited to fill in all these bullshit and gross accusations you’re making of me.

        I also recommend others read my comments and I mean actually read them, unlike SleezyDizasta over here, because you’ll find that SleezyDizasta has been making things up about me. As for the 2014 coup in Ukraine, it sure is interesting that John McCain was addressing protestors at the time. Why would such a prominent politician be so invested in another country’s opposition to their government? You tell me.
