If you want to know the measure of a liberal, ask them about Palestine. If you want to know the measure of a leftist, ask them about Ukraine.

Also gonna note, this doesn't even get into the issues with the Party for Socialism and Liberation. A party who thinks Kim Jong Un is a good dude, to start with.
noodlesoup wrote: User banned (1 month): dismissing concerns of ethnic cleansing

I think you and I have very different definitions of what ethnic cleansing entails. This is irrelevant and an entirely different topic of discussion.

You're upset that a person who is far-left is...far-left? And the account you linked gives off mega McCarthyism centrist vibes. Also, I'm not having a discussion about tankies on Era of all places. Sorry, man.

Even in context I don't really get it. Is she upset that he called what's happening in the Ukraine imperialism and ethnic cleansing? 
Like if you believe what's happening in Gaza is a genocide then that totally applies to the Ukraine too and yet Nepenthe is offended by it

Singer called on Jill Stein to withdraw from the 2016 United States presidential election in states that were close between Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump on the grounds that the stakes were "too high".[64] He argued against the view that there was no significant difference between Clinton and Trump, whilst also saying that he would not advocate such a tactic in Australia's electoral system, which allows for ranking of preferences.[64] When writing in 2017 on Trump's climate change denial and plans to withdraw from the Paris Accords, Singer advocated a boycott of all consumer goods from the United States to pressure the Trump administration to change its environmental policies.[65][66]

B-Dumbs' current misery as ERA's GM is entirely self-inflicted. He shouldn't get sympathy from anyone. It's been one dumb move after another with him.

Gotta give credit to Nep (I'm doing this frequently for the mods, lately Undecided ) for her skillful deployment of this old chestnut.

Nepenthe wrote:We did not allow Trump voters to say "I'm not voting for the racism," so I'm not allowing anyone else any quarter for their chosen candidate. This principle must remain logically consistent. Ultimately, a vote is a wholesale endorsement. It is you saying "I am empowering you to do as much as you can within your term." Again, people need to be honest about this.
Now, the big brain (read: normal brain) take here is that you can say "I don't endorse position X of a candidate, but I am voting for them because Y and Z". And that this happens constantly, all over the world, in every democracy. 

But various groups of dumb dumbs thought saying "If you vote for trump, it means that you 1:1 admire his behaviors and positions and additionally strive to emulate these in your personal life as maximally as possible" was NOT something that would bite them in the ass later. 

And here we witness said biting of ass (almost literally!).
Divest from capitalism, colonialism, and white supremacy!

not only that, it happens literally every time you make a decision about anything

"I don't buy things on amazon because I support their global dominance and putting small shops out of business, I buy on amazon because it's cheap and convenient"

"I don't buy food because I like exchanging capital for goods and services in order to prop up the evils of capitalism, I buy food because I kind of need to eat to live"

using her logic, whenever you buy food it means you support everything that goes along with that decision, unthinking support for capitalism, support for the food vendor's shitty hiring practices or cost-cutting measures, etc

That’s a very ego driven post. She gets off being forum “famous” to the point she compares herself to notable people.

Because in real life if she were to say, "I'm not as extreme as Peter Singer, however i'm very partial to Nussbaum's capability approach in regards to human development and racial equity" people would say, "Oh thats nice, get a rag, will you?  Someone spilled a jar of Ragu in aisle 4."  But that she thinks anyone cares about her philosophical ideas online is an enormous difference in experience from her real day-to-day life.  That's why she'll never give up on being a mod no matter how tormenting she claims it is.


Nepenthe wrote:But in the meantime, I participate and organize locally in my community for Black-centered causes because my people need help right now, not every four years. I feed people, deliver groceries and supplies, and I participate in larger protests and discussions led by anti-imperialists organizations. In other words, I am fairly confident in saying I have shown up more for my community than you have for mine.

I'm not a smart guy, but wouldn't it be more prudent to figure out how to get good at earning money within the system if you're using money to help out your community that the whites refuse to show up for?   I feel like the strategy of being bad at capitalism so I gotta destroy capitalism doesn't reconcile with this little interim step of uplifting your community.  Again, is this just a personal projection of how you've given up because you actually don't believe you can succeed like everyone else?  Cuz that's what I think this is.

Nepenthe wrote:Your moral indignation at any of Harris policies doesn't actually matter when you cast your ballot for her, because you are not voting on the individual bullet points of her platform. You're voting for her to enact the entirety of the platform she outlined to the best of her ability. Crying that it's so hard for you to cast your vote because you really, really, really disagree with her foreign policy doesn't mean anything to the victims of that foreign policy. You still gave her the power to kill them.

It's all a personal signaling to other people.  You want to be able to be an activist and also say, "I didn't vote for this person.  So it's not on me."  It degrades your cred to have to vote for small wins, to accept a little bit of progress, or to compromise and not get everything you want politically all at once instead of just wholesale rejecting it and getting to maintain your reputation as a hardline activist.  Have fun getting nowhere, as usual.
