No seriously.
We're not talking about arguing over different flavors of ice cream, or even ten-year old tweets of one's favorite politicians parading around in Blackface. As I said elsewhere, we need to be specific in our critiques of where we differ politically for these complaints about "purity testing" to warrant merit. And in this instance, we're specifically talking about whether or not it's okay to ethnically cleanse people. That literally should be an easy layup. "No, it's not okay" is the only answer that should fall out of anyone's mouth.
But many American liberals couldn't be bothered to join the fight in pressuring Biden and Kamala and standing up for an obvious instance of oppression when the moment presented itself because of their cowardly, sniveling insistence on "unity" and "decorum." But now they want to complain about fascism now? Like, the fascism was here already and they were the ones goose-stepping because it was a group of people they thought were easily disposable for the sake of political ambition. The moment arrived months ago and wasn't met. Everyone should have been lighting Biden and Kamala up, because Democrats don't stand for genocide right.... Right?
That whole row let me know right then and there some folks around here just don't actually have any hard morals beyond voting D down the ticket, no matter how ghoulish some of these people they let into the Party are.
And yet people wonder why there's dissatisfaction. They wonder why pockets of the left don't want to work with them. It's because they stand for nothing. And if they stand for nothing, that means it is a statistical inevitability that they will throw me under the bus in some way down the line. Hell, it's happened on here!
Ultimately, if genocide is okay, so is racism. So is transphobia. So is misogyny. So is all of it.
I do not trust liberals and Democrats anymore because they all proven time and time again that they are not trustworthy. They are not genuine. They don't care about me, like, just on the basis of being a decent human being. If it's between my rights and electoralism, I am screwed.
Bitch, you tried to downplay the invasion of Ukraine as wypipo nonsense, what the actual fuck are you drivelling about from your high horse?
