lmao, I didn’t even notice, but it is pretty glaring now that you point it out

I see you don’t have a comeback to how to actually help Ukraine so all you can do is deflect.

“Deflection is when you stay on topic, and the more you stay on topic, the more deflection it is”

But tell me more about how assisting Ukrainian genocide will help Ukraine.

Something about intent being important for the word Genocide right?

Oh, so they were just accidentally kidnapping Ukrainian children, murdering Ukrainian civilians, deporting Ukrainians, and moving in Russian colonists. My bad.

I’m so happy the first comment is someone getting the reference

Good on China. Regardless of our political leanings, I think we can all agree that renewable energy development is a positive thing.

“Online Leftists complain that liberals aren’t really antifascist (and are, in fact, pro-fascist) because liberals don’t do enough to fight fascism outside of their own movements, while Online Leftists simultaneously (and hypocritically in light of this accusation) refuse to support antifascist movements that aren’t led by leftists.”

Oh, good, they’ll ‘only’ double or triple their seats in the legislature.

What a fucking self-destructive decision Macron made.

Self-Proclaimed Leftists on Lemmy when asked to oppose fascism:

‘Patriot Front’, a modern neonazi group

The Russian goal does not appear to be to wipe out the population of Ukraine but conquer their land.

Ah, is that why there are mass deportations, kidnapping of children, and massacres of civilians in the already-occupied parts of Ukraine. They’re trying to conquer the bits they already occupy. How wholesome! It’s insane what distances you’ll go to defend genocide.

And more importantly

“More importantly than whether or not there’s a genocide going on”

There is a difference between a war and a Genocide. Russia wants to annex Ukraine. Not murder everyone to replace it with its own population.

lmao, hilarious that you engage in the same kind of genocide denial that Israeli simps do. Almost like the only difference between you and them is what side you’re on. But tell me more about how massacring civilians, kidnapping children, and deporting populations DEFINITELY isn’t genocide. That’s definitely not a fascist thing to defend.

No Genocide is my requirement for non Fascists.

Still voting for Jill Stein and Ukrainian genocide?

You see, when liberals ask leftists to support anti-fascism, it’s actual a PRO-fascist request because liberals aren’t leftist enough.

But when self-proclaimed leftists demand that liberals be stripped of support in an election against fascists, for being insufficiently pure, that’s actually anti-fascist, because giving fascists more power is anti-fascist.

Because then the “BOTHSIDES” narrative falls apart.

You say that as if they can’t work on more than one piece of legislation at a time.

Thanks for affirming you don’t know how fighting for votes on controversial legislation works.

So the period of a few short months when they had a knock-down drag-out fight in their own party over public healthcare?

“It was the DNC!”

Oh cool, here I thought it was three and a half million Dem voters who were more right-wing than Bernie.

I voted for Bernie. I marched for Bernie. I donated to Bernie. I love Bernie, he’s a fighter and an idealist, and the world would be better if politicians like him had more influence.

But the reason he lost in 2016 wasn’t because of some nebulous DNC conspiracy. It’s because this is still a very right-wing electorate, even in the Democratic Party (and especially in 2016), something critics are all-too-eager to point out at every moment in time except when it offers an opportunity to denigrate the legitimacy of the less-right-wing party running.

Curious.

Considering the extreme fluctuation of Bitcoin, it feels like that’s a payment that has to be processed and cashed out within an hour of the filing for the Federal government to not get screwed.

“Pug, you’re an incredibly smart kid, but you’re lazy.”

Me, unable to remember homework, but acing every test and going above-and-beyond on any project with freeform requirements, leading to solid Bs and Cs despite half my assignments being a flat 0 for not being turned in: “Yeah.”

… kind of wish someone looked a little deeper into the issue at the time.

Si vis pacem, para baseball bat

Literally one of the first things I noticed about NCD back on The Old Place was that it was incredibly LGBT friendly. It was one of the reasons I felt comfortable enough to stick around. I’m not LGBT, but there’s always a sense of dread with certain interests lending themselves to… unpleasant views. Knowing NCD was super LGBT friendly was like, yes, good, these are my people, pure shitposters
