I guess to be fair I was never really a stickler for any particular method; I’m just a lot more open to a lot of them.

        That’s just not true. Biden was giving Israel unconditional support. Trump is currently giving them unconditional support after the ceasefire. The meatgrinder doesn’t get any faster. There is no more support the Zionists could even physically be given.

          fuck me, I know Biden was a war criminal piece of shit, but fuck COME ON. there is a difference. I’m not disagreeing that the left in america is an embarrassment, but it is absolutely not better now than it would have been. this isn’t hard, unless you care less about lives than your bespoke political stance.

            Trump is an idiot narcissist. That doesn’t change the facts on the ground of the genocide: the IDF didn’t gain any additional capacity to inflict death upon the people of Gaza when Trump came to power. They are continuing with the same carnage and with the same vigor they had under Biden’s unrelenting and unequivocal support.

              So your position is that the current genocide is not any worse than it would have been under non-republican rule?

                Not in a material way, unless the non-republican rule was also anti-imperialist and broke away America’s role as world hegemon, because otherwise the US will continue to support their Zionist dogs as a means to maintain imperialist hegemony.

                  Jesus christ. The killing has accelerated. If you care about opposing the (terrible) state of the world to the detriment of the lives of the people trying to live in it right now, you are not the good guy.

            Your a guy named Dave. I’m assuming from this point on that means you’re Dave Navarro. What ever happened to the band Supernova from your show Rockstar: Supernova

          compared to whats happening now it is. I want the system to burn just as much as you do, if not more. But I would prefer less genocide to more genocide. because there IS a difference. I swear, you guys are deliberately obtuse.

            I think a decent country should label the systematic killing of hundreds of thousands of people as alarming and a sign of an evil political system at work. A difference in scale would still be a tragedy but you couldn’t really say that extermination is milquetoast centrism in reasonable company. If your country is throwing people in a meat grinder, to use your words, you’re already in a point where it would be appropriate for someone to ask:

            What rise? The country has been fascist since before anyone here was born. Those fascists have been enabled by people like you cheering on politicians while they put people in concentration camps at the border, strip away basic rights such as abortion while never even allowing others like healthcare, and outright commit genocide. Be honest with yourself: you don’t hate Trump because he’s a fascist, you hate him because he’s not a “polite” fascist.

              Yes we’re living in the worst timeline. You are attacking the people interested in triage and shouting about the better world you would like to see in the future. so fucking self centred.

                I’m not attacking anyone. You’re getting all angry at a person for pointing out that we already turned on the meat grinder centuries ago. I think it actually matters that people not treat Trump as an anomaly that can be neutralized by dealing with him as a single person. Going back to what preceded this guy will not be fixing the problem.

                    You literally came out swinging at someone who said what amounts to things you have conceded talking with me. You called the genocide milquetoast centrism. I don’t know what else to call that.

            What is the difference? How was Biden less genocide when Israelis have openly stated that after Oct 7, Biden’s admin not once asked for restraint or to stop bombing hospitals! There couldn’t have been a more full-throated support of the genocide from Biden!
