Indeed - in retrospect, I probably should have illustrated both.

I’m like 50% sure you’re trolling me here. Was there something specific in the comment I referenced that didn’t make sense? Or did you not read it?

There’s no moral victory in what I posted. I’m trying to call attention to these useless attacks that disregard Palestinians.

And I only see one person mentioning not to participate in elections, unless somehow people I’ve blocked are allowed to comment or something?

sigh We shouldn’t have to constantly bring up every possible angle, every possible nuance, just to avoid accusations like this. The accelerationists are for sure another example of this. I wrote a more detailed explanation in another comment.

No, I’m not saying it’s just one or the other. What you describe is another example of this.

What motivated me to make this though, is the sheer quantity of these types of comments, combined with the knowledge that many of those who were in that situation of not wanting to vote for Harris felt that way because they had family that were killed by the administration sending over weapons. I don’t know about you, but if I had family that was gone as a result of this administration’s actions, I’m not sure I’d be able to bring myself to vote for them. And the type of comment I used in the image strikes me as particularly insulting given that context. The existence of Palestinians is ignored while they are simultaneously being used as a tool in the discourse. And no good can possibly come from a comment like this, aside from the commenter temporarily feeling better about themselves.

And to reiterate, yes, white people disregarding the very real genocidal consequences of not voting is also an example. But a lot of that was blown out of proportion too. The lesser of two evils logic holds in swing states, sure. But in states guaranteed to vote one way or the other, a protest vote largely doesn’t matter.

Hope that helped to clarify.

Basically, yeah. The example used in the video was about immigrant students potentially being doxxed by a conservative planning to give a speech at a university, with the “white moderates” being okay with this (not taking the “bluff”) as a part of their strategy. The point being that “weaponizing or disregarding students of color is still racism.”

The same kind of applies here. The commenter was using palestinians as a tool to attack the people they disagree with, completely disregarding the palestinians in the process.

Women are all ones that are also queer and I don’t know what to do 😭

Honestly that’s such a mood lol

It’s supposed to be Potta One for serif, Klee One for sans-serif, and MesloLGS NF for monospace.

🤔 Definitely sus. Maybe the thought process was that it would seem weak or disgraceful to step down after the debate, so they wanted a more natural way of having him exit.
