Thief_of_Crows , to Asklemmy in What's changed in lemmy and the fediverse in the past 3 months?

Anything that suggests you believe the current state of the world is acceptable outs you as a lib. Saying things like "Yeah Biden's got some problems, but at least he didn't do a few of the things trump did." If you believe that things would have been fine were it not for trump, you're a lib. Or a moron, I cant always tell the difference.

Heres a great summary of liberalism: "If we put forward good policies into the politics machine, then other people will too, and because I have absolute faith in the system established by a bunch of slave owners, whatever comes out MUST be just and good." Which of course implies that if the result you want or need DOESNT come out of the politics machine, it is right and just that you should not get it.

Like, they fundamentally don't realize that the politics machine is capable of breaking, and that it has been broken for a LONG time (basically the moment it was asked to value the needs of someone who wasn't wealthy, white, and male.)

Presumably the Yacht had engine trouble and he and Crowe are on an island with Ginger, Maryanne, and the captain.

Thief_of_Crows , to Memes in Bangladesh, Ghana, and Mauritius celebrate their independence from the crown this month

How many people celebrate Christmas, comparatively?

Thief_of_Crows , to Political Memes in Morality isn't a team: it's the ball.

The requirement was never "Biden calls for a ceasefire". It was "Biden forces a ceasefire and stops selling weapons to a genocidal state." Also everyone who y'all call a Russian troll is just a leftist that you disagree with.

Thief_of_Crows , to News in Ukraine war: Russian double-tap strikes hit civilians then rescuers too

This would be a lot more meaningful if America didn't implicitly condone the actions when done by Israel or anybody on our side. As is, it simply looks hypocritical for Americans to criticize a war crime, while we take no issue with it elsewhere.

Where was the MSM calling this amove used by terrorists when Israel Triple Tapped an aid truck? It makes us look stupid at best and like outright liars at worst.

Thief_of_Crows , to White People Twitter in Pardon me for not finding “vulnerable people need to die for my ideology” very convincing.

I picked it up from people who dislike the Democrats. You act like that's somehow nefarious. I would vote for Biden, except the rules regarding genocide explicitly prohibit good people from voting for genociders. Don't blame me, I didn't make the rules. The Democrats really did tie my hands and do it to themselves. They could have ran anybody else and won easily. Instead they're forcing a ton of good people on the left to vote against them.

I don't actually think Russia should have them, but I very much don't want America to be involved over there at all. We need to let nature take it's course, Ukraine isn't our responsibility to protect. If thateans Russia gets back some land it lost like 30 years ago, who cares? Honestly it'd be a net positive for the world if Russia got strong enough to be a real check on America. Ideally America wouldn't do shit like genocide Palestinians and we wouldn't need that, but, here we are.

Thief_of_Crows , to White People Twitter in Pardon me for not finding “vulnerable people need to die for my ideology” very convincing.

Im a socialist and regularly say things similar to Democrat party. I use the term "lib" derogatorily, for one. Democrats have nothing to do with me and I oppose them, so why would I use their preferred language that implies they value democracy? In my experience, libs constantly use claims of shills as an excuse to ignore me, despite the fact that I'm very clearly not a shill. Whether or not I'm right or not, every time I voice opinions disagreeing with the majority liberal view, I get called a shill. Even times where I was wrong and they should have been able to have a better argument.

Thief_of_Crows , to White People Twitter in Pardon me for not finding “vulnerable people need to die for my ideology” very convincing.

If a government prevents any somewhat good candidate from getting nominated, then it is not your fault if you don't vote for the bad candidates. It's theirs. It is a form of illegitimate government. It is not on the people to concede on the idea of getting an acceptable candidate, the only duty we the people have on that front is to overthrow a government which refuses to hold democratic elections.

Thief_of_Crows , to White People Twitter in Pardon me for not finding “vulnerable people need to die for my ideology” very convincing.

This is an incredibly toxic mindset. Without real proof of what you claim, you're just deciding that people's opinions don't count if they're far enough away from your own. People are becoming nihilistic because that's basically the best case scenario right now. It's obvious that voting for Democrats won't work to fix the big problems we have, and if you try to go around the Dems with a reasonable outsider like Sanders, they will literally just fall on their sword and ensure the nut job gets elected instead, while simultaneously blaming you for not falling in line hard enough for their horrible candidate.

Are the commenters you're referring to shills, or do they do a shitty job arguing their case? Both can't be broadly true.

Are the commenters quitting because they get yelled at, or are they shills who will keep writing that stuff until they stop getting paid? Again, both cannot be broadly true.

Thief_of_Crows , to World News in Yellen Faces Diplomatic Test in Urging China to Curb Green Energy Exports

Why would we want China to curb their green energy exports? Isn't that literally the whole point of trying to fight climate change, finding ways to use more green energy?

Thief_of_Crows , to politics in Trump’s Call for Israel to ‘Finish Up’ War Alarms Some on the Right

True, my answer was simply the most obvious one, there are certainly better ways to depose Netenyahu and israels genocide. But if Biden wants an easy answer, its to just fucking kill him and force israel to end their genocide.

Thief_of_Crows , to politics in Trump’s Call for Israel to ‘Finish Up’ War Alarms Some on the Right

Why are you in favor of genocide rather than regime change? You act like it isn't MORE violent to let Netanyahu remain in power.

Thief_of_Crows , to politics in Trump’s Call for Israel to ‘Finish Up’ War Alarms Some on the Right

That's incredibly speculative. What reason do you have to think Trump cares HOW the conflict ends? When has trump ever cared about anyone besides himself?

Thief_of_Crows , to politics in Trump’s Call for Israel to ‘Finish Up’ War Alarms Some on the Right

Irrelevant. We have the biggest military in the world, and with great power comes great responsibility. We should have bombed their capitol and assassinated Netanyahu months ago. Biden is complicit in genocide.
