Coming here to argue about voting will result in a ban.

So instead of "Democrats," it should say "Netanyahu."

And also, Trump has a machine gun, and the Democrats are sitting in the corner saying, "Hey, don't do that. I don't think you should do that." They don't seem to be doing much other than that.

And the same people who are screaming about how the Democrats bought the bullets in the first place are also, for the most part, screaming that Trump will do 10 times worse, and please don't elect him. Also he wants to walk outside and start shooting all kinds of random people all over the apartment complex. Also he wants to give Netanyahu his second machine gun so Netanyahu can go through the apartment finishing off the guy's family. He's really mad about the whole "Hey, don't do that," thing.

I am glad that you are safe enough to not be able to see a difference between Kamala Harris's sometime reprehensible foreign policy, and Trump who simply wants to burn the world and kill the children. Not everyone has that luxury. Please don't subject them to Trump, while you're making your little meme.

Fuck you Americans with your privilege to not be fucking genocided with US made bombs. Do you think a Palestinian child cares if the bomb that kills them is is sent by Harris or Trump? Take a fucking stance for once jesus christ.

You think I have privilege to not see a difference??? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. WHAT PRIVILEGE? The privilege to be shot at by American bullets? The privilege for Biden to support the murderous and corrupt regime in my country? The privilege for American imperialism to rob my country? To the global south, THERE IS NO DIFFERENCE. Both Democrats and Republicans are imperialist bastards. Both Trump and Harris would facilitate Wall Street looting my country.

You're the one with privilege to go around and think you have a choice. But no matter your choice, it will mean robbery and death for my people and the people of the Global South.

Have you checked with the Iranians on this? Or seen what some of the leaders of the “uncommitted” movement feel about it, or for that matter the Ukrainians?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

They can't vote too, so why would you care? They're just abstract people for you to moralize about. The Iranians and Ukrainians I know are anti-imperialist while being opposed to their own governments.

Oh, interesting. Very interesting.

The Iranians you know have no particular feeling about Trump? That’s very interesting. Do you want to check with them again? Maybe ask them specifically about him, if it hasn’t come up in conversation with them maybe?

Oh you mean the Iranian anarchists? Yeah they hate trump, but they hate voting more. Yeah I've checked in with them.

[–] [email protected] -2 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Yeah, every time I talk with anarchists in the global south, that's exactly what they say. They say, we hate that people in the United States vote. It's the worst thing in the world. All their flyers talk about it, all their lectures touch on it. I'm surprised that stance doesn't get more publicity. I mean, if they were able to get fewer people in the US to vote, all of a sudden things would get better for them. Clearly.

Really proud that you're voting for genocide huh? Real proud. If I were voting for Harris, I'd feel nothing but shame because there was nothing else I could do. You made your choice to be proud of her program of genocide.
