Rules:
- The mods are fallible; if you've been banned or had a post/comment removed, please appeal.
- Off-topic posts will be removed. If you don't know what "Leopards ate my Face" is, try reading this post.
- If the reason your post meets Rule 1 isn't in the source, you must add a source in the post body (not the comments) to explain this. If the reason is in the source but is tedious to find (e.g. in a lengthy video), you must add an explanation for where it is.
- Posts should use high-quality sources (for a rough idea, check out this list), and posts should retain the title (if one exists) from works like news articles, videos, etc. You may (but need not) edit your post if the source changes the title. (If you're only using an excerpt from an article that's otherwise not about LAMF, you can use the quote in the title.) Other types of posts should have a title which accurately, relatively neutrally describes their contents.
- For accessibility reasons, an image of text must either have alt text or a transcription in the post body.
- Reposts within 1 year or the Top 100 of all time are subject to removal. Within moderator discretion, this doesn't just include reposts of the exact same media but also includes e.g. a secondary source telling basically the exact same story as another that was already posted.
- This is not exclusively a US politics community. You're encouraged to post stories about anyone from any place in the world at any point in history as long as you meet the other rules.
- All Lemmy.World Terms of Service apply.

Genocide was a losing issue. The left warned you and you didn't listen. Or you did and went ahead anyway because centrists are fine with trump but not with telling netanyahu no.
Idk who you're referring to with “you”, I'm a German anarchist.
Who is preemptively gloating about the state oppressing people you don't like.
The fuck are you on about?
I'm taking about how dangerous it is to be accelerationist instead of improving the chance for harm reduction at no cost.
You're preemptively gloating about the fascists coming for people you don't like. Which in this case is anyone who criticized fucking Harris for supporting genocide. "Anarchist" carrying water for a pro-genocide fash-lite candidate long after the election is over.
No.
Yeah, at all times without exception.
No, that's not what I wrote. No gloating, no ill will. Read it again with that knowledge and you might understand.
You basically said that you can't wait until the people you hate for not being as genocidal as you want are put into camps.
Not at all. Try actually reading it. I predicted it with no indication of how I feel.
If you're interested: I think it'd be ironic and tragic, but ultimately even the people who fucked things up for the rest of us deserve empathy.
Doesn't mean they aren't harmful idiots.
I feel the same way about everyone who insisted that we just smile through the genocide and never actually cared how anyone voted.
The US voting system is fucked. I'm sad that leftists there had no ethical choice in the last decade other than to grit their teeth and vote Dems, but that's the truth.
That or starting a revolution before 2024, but that didn't happen.
I don't believe that you are.
I'm a non-American anarchist, why should I give a fuck about some fucked up party complicit in most crimes the US has committed in the last centuries?
I want people to be able to have real choice. And barring that, at least a less shitty system than one forcing them to vote for a lesser evil that is this … evil.
