You’re the one who claims you “opposed” them by voting for them in the general election.

Feel free to quote me, unless you’re making shit up because you don’t actually have an argument. :)

Not only that, in another comment you’re bewildered why it’s taken so long for Democratic politicians support of Israel to weaken.

Your literacy is remarkably low. I expressed exhausted enthusiasm that Dem voters finally began to change their opinion on Israel in polling, despite there being multiple escalations of the genocide in the past decade-and-a-half alone that didn’t move the fucking needle.

You vote for them in the general election and you work to suppress people calling them out for supporting genocide. 🤷‍♂️ You are literally the problem.

lmao

Sorry that you think licking Trump’s boots is a preferable alternative to voting for a dreaded shitlib, who literally won the majority of the less conservative third of this fucking country in their primaries in 2016 and 2020.

I’m sure the Palestinians in the West Bank and Jordanians and Syrians being annexed by Israeli genocidaires are thrilled by your ‘principled’ stance.

Lol so like I said, you “opposed” them by voting for them.

This you, buddy?

Maybe if you went after dipshits who vote for people like Biden, Cuomo and Clinton in Democratic primaries you wouldn’t have to hear about what pieces of shit Democratic politicians are. 🤷‍♂️

Or did you forget what a primary was?

Oh, who am I kidding? Fascists don’t believe words have meanings.

Harris, because I had the terrible curse of prophecy, and predicted a good 50% of the bullshit we’re currently living through should Trump win.

Made a protest vote. Not proud of it, honestly, but I thought Hillary was going to win handily, and I could afford to voice displeasure with her fuckwit candidacy, especially after the coronal tone that was pushed by the DNC during the 2016 primary.

I lived in a safe state at the time and it went Dem anyway, but I still have flashbacks to that morning, watching the results come in.

The only one of those three I ever voted for was Biden, in 2020, in the general election, because I’m not a dipshit fascist. I voted Bernie in the 2020 primary.

Maybe if you went after dipshits who vote for people like Biden, Cuomo and Clinton in Democratic primaries you wouldn’t have to hear about what pieces of shit Democratic politicians are. 🤷‍♂️

Cute considering that I opposed all three. But that doesn’t match your narrative, so of course, you do the only thing your tiny fascist mind can think of, and make shit up. :)

Then enjoy your award for supporting genocide.

Are you still salty that calling for genocide isn’t allowed in HistoryMemes?

I gave you numerous fucking opportunities to back off from the lunatic position of “Genocide advocacy is Okay, Actually; if it’s against Bad Ethnicity”, and you still insisted on it.

Sorry that you think being against genocide makes me a Zionist?

Please, by all means, provide us with evidence that Pug abuses his banhammer. Mod logs aren’t hidden. If his actions are scummy or inappropriate for his position then prove it. Regardless of his popularity you would be doing a favor for the entire fediverse in doing so.

I openly admit to being irritable, impatient, and not really suited for modding duties. At the same time, my bans are overwhelmingly for issues of ideology, not tone, and I generally try to find context for the user’s statements before heading in with a ban. If someone calls me a fuckwit, that’s whatever.

If someone is playing “Bothsides” games when that bullshit is the reason why I’m living in an increasingly fascist state circling the drain, with over a million projected to die from the end of USAID, the unconditional support of Israel’s lunatic genocide in Palestine and imperialism in both Syria and Lebanon, my own increasing inability to find insurance after recent changes in Federal medical policy and state assistance for a chronic disease that will kill me if left untreated (not to mention my mental health issues, which also may kill me untreated), the fact that I’ve had fucking family members who’ve been in the country for almost two decades with no trouble ending up being deported under this administration, that we have people being openly murdered in the streets by unaccountable fascist paramilitaries for the crime of protesting, and every attempt made to enable and assist Russia’s imperialist and genocidal project in Ukraine…

… well, they can enjoy their ban.

He’s a mod who really doesn’t like it when people talk about Democratic politicians who support Israel’s genocide.

lmao.

Also when you talk about him your comment will get a lot more attention than what you’d expect from organic traffic. I have my suspicions he’s got funding.

You caught me.

Neither, I’m just aware that Dems are the only one of the two parties which have moved away from supporting Israel as of late in response to Dem voters, for the first time in my fucking lifetime, moving away from unconditional support of Israel, and have no patience for “Buh-buh-buh-bothsides” bullshit. I checked the user’s comment history before banning for context, which confirmed them as a “Electoralism doesn’t matter!” useful idiot for fascist genocidaires.

But hey, at least they can ‘virtue’ signal about how great it is to enable the murder of as many minorities as possible.

It’s very understandable to handwave it away and dismiss it,

I very much disagree. Handwaving it and dismissing it misses the entire point of why deliberately murdering civilians is bad.

but yeah, we should just briefly accept that violence against innocent people is wrong and immediately turn it back to Israel, who, by far, hurt and kill way more innocent people than Hamas ever could.

I don’t know about ‘ever could’ - if the IDF was entirely incompetent instead of just vile, I wouldn’t trust Hamas not to simply play this card in reverse. Their long history of antisemitism remains… suspect. On top of being theocratic loons.

But that’s why Israel supported Hamas to undermine Fatah. Much easier target for Israeli PR.

Welp, looks like he started the whole thing off an old comment he found. He was looking for a fight by directly going with the most controversial statement he could find.

That’s not even the most controversial statement in the thread, man.

From my point of view, Israel is waging war on civilians mostly. Hamas is a non issue that can only deal the damage Israel let’s them.

I would agree. I would go so far as to say that calling it war is generous. It’s nothing more than a genocide. Hamas isn’t much more than a cat’s paw for Israeli domestic politics - which makes the defense of their targeting of civilians (something both morally abhorrent and without significant gain for the Palestinian people) all the more ridiculous. At least, ridiculous from an anti-Zionist point of view.

Terrorist groups can’t be defended, but they can’t be used as justification for wholesale slaughter of a civilian population either. That’s the main issue that I think gets people riled up.

The main issue in the real world (thankfully). Unfortunately, on the Fediverse, there’s a fairly large contingent of folk who think that ethnic cleansing is Good, Actually, if it’s pointed towards Israelis.

Thanks for the link.

np

I’m just happy to be a little useful to the Fediverse! 🙏

Not sure about when it was recognized that the Peninsula was a boot, but it was drawn as such in maps derived from 2nd century AD originals, and high heels became popular in the 17th century AD amongst male nobility who wanted to emphasize their height, status, and the resulting fact that they needed to do nothing requiring practical movement.

I’m so fucking tuned out to how I used to be just one short year ago. I know it’s just a nonstop avalanche of fascism that I, as an individual, will not be better equipped to combat by following closer. I used to follow Congressional bills, debates, presidential speeches, etc.

Now my attention to national politics is utterly minimal and restricted to informing myself of only what I need to for the sake of local activism and keeping up with international politics (which I still follow fairly closely).

I’m still probably more tuned-in than most of the American electorate. But fuck, I can’t just watch every individual step of fascism going forward here on out. I’m close enough to blowing my brains out without that additional inducement.

Oh, thank goodness! I always wondered what happened. I wish him the best!

I’m betting we’re about to see the Venezuelan political pendulum swing with the impertus of a howitzer shell towards fascism.

Implying it’s not already fascist?

I’ve seen you around and have a vaguely positive association with your username, take that as you will

Unexpected!
