This post is a bit of a rant.
Why do libs who say Biden is the "lesser evil" never ask themselves why we even have devils ruling over us? Unsurprisingly, as the U.S. further rots and its fascist structure can plainly be seen by anyone who's done a modicum of research, a significant number of liberals still sides with the status quo and refuse to resist other than voting.
Democrats are seen as different from Republicans, but in reality, they are very similar once in power. Democrats give the impression that changes are coming and better times are on the horizon if people don't lose hope. However, the difference between the two parties is mainly limited to election season, with each party trying to show that they are not the other.
The argument of harm reduction baffles me. The blue MAGA crowd will guilt-trip all into voting, such as exploiting the ongoing vulnerabilities of lgbt, transgender people particularly. Then, if Democrats win, they will dishonestly take advantage of all those who voted as an example that most Americans still accept the Democrats as an efficient party.
I wonder when this game of politics, where every election is "the most important one of our lifetime," will end. The libs will admit Republicans are dangerous, that they are fascists, and yet, their solution is to vote for Democrats and nothing else; simultaneously, the U.S. also decays into its bare fascist structure, which is, too, witnessed by libs, but still not conceded as the inevitable result of Capitalism.
For many, politics is a topic of interest and debate instead of a matter of survival. With liberal ideology, we are all reduced to the individual; marginalized groups are seen as existing in a vacuum; all significant events around the world are likewise viewed as separated from each other.
Consequently, the solutions mirror the individualism of Capitalism: voting and screaming into a void.
The liberals see it as foolish for a member of an oppressed minority not to vote for Biden. The liberals cannot comprehend the solidarity between marginalized ethnic minorities from the U.S. and Palestinians, for instance.
For these libs, worldwide events begin when they first hear about it, which means when the Western media reports it and urges them to be concerned. Partly due to the elitism that 'individualism' creates, libs are immediately experts in whatever crisis their news media pushes; for example, with Ukraine, most of them couldn't point it on a map before 2022, and now they think they know everything about this country.
For them, something is complex when it contradicts their worldview. The Ukraine situation is simple because they view it as a people defending their homeland. Patriotic people are defending against a foreign invasion; a typical westoid fantasy became a "reality" to Ukrainians.
The genocide in Gaza, however, is complex, as stated by numerous libs. They don't know who to support. No one can ignore this genocide, and yet, due to their racism, liberals face cognitive dissonance. They cannot express full support for Palestinians because Hamas killed some white people. The death of one white person is a tragedy; the death of millions of POC is just a statistic.
I wish peace finally happens in Palestine and the world, and I know those peaceful days can only emerge when our ruling class drowns in a pool formed by their wounds. The gears of their empire are turned by the labor of the poor and greased by the blood of those in the global south. It's the blood of capitalists that should be spilled. The reformers and Western "leftists," their social democracy, this Capitalism with a happy face is certainly not bringing any smiles to those workers slaving away in the global south to make the Nordic system acceptable for labor aristocrats liberals who have an ideological approach to socialism.
It should be called social Darwinism rather than social democracy. Indeed, it's a more fitting name for their political system, which treats some as human and most much less than that.
NATO, their coerced "Western democracy," and the U.S. government that exerts this domination over the entire world are founded by white supremacists and literal Nazis, whose 'manifest destiny' still guides them today. The modernization of the Western world is built mainly from imperialism, and accordingly, racism makes it function.
As for Palestine fighting the grip of white supremacy, it is easy for a white individual to preach nonviolent methods and condemn Hamas when living comfortably in an empire committing atrocities across the entire globe on Joe Biden's authority. If liberals still support their war criminal leaders in the collapse of their empire, they will undoubtedly meet a similar fate. The empire's monopoly on violence will not be forever.
As expressed by one of Liberals' favorite heroes, Gandhi, forgiveness is an attribute of the strong, and only the weak can never forgive; if so, the impoverished, forced toward a position of weakness by the subjugation of capitalists, cannot give any compassion to their oppressors. Liberals' idea of morality is a privilege reserved for those who aren't continuously struggling for survival.
The self-proclaimed strong, who are only as powerful as their fabricated system allows them to be, will no longer be so when thrown into the despairing world they created alongside the impoverished, and all those who are made weak by virtue of their oppressive system will, in due time, have justice through means of violent and organized resistance. A revolution has never been and never will be a dinner party.
Libs will condemn communists for advocating violence to achieve peace, yet their entire empire is built on brutality, then and now. Also, the successes of Gandhi's peaceful movement were only made possible with violence in other regions, which is virtually never publicized in the Western media. Spiritual and ideological moralists advocate nonviolence and expect others to fight violently for them.
Joe Biden supports the extremely violent genocide in Palestine to protect his military base in the Middle East. When they say Israel is the only democracy in the Middle East, it starts to make sense if you understand how the U.S. views "democracy." They believe that only a specific "civilized" people know how to govern, and therefore, all others must follow their system or face the might of their army. Any population with another economic system, such as the one in China, is said to be either silenced by their government from asserting rights to criticism or brainwashed. The absurdity that there are 1.4 billion brainwashed Chinese citizens or that they are all silenced doesn't even need to be argued; it's complete nonsense.
When I look at liberals, I see nothing worth liking, only a walking cracker, a stubborn and elitist cracker born within a settler-colonial system, wrongly educated and pretentious, pretending to be sympathetic and acting as if they care about politics outside of debates and elections. It's becoming evident that they can only view politics in such a way since they often debate about the genocide in Gaza and accuse anyone who won't vote for Biden of being a fool who's only helping Trump.
They are racist, sexist, and homophobic just as much as any reactionaries. There is a little Hitler in all white people, and when push comes to shove, it always comes into existence, and support for oppressed groups quickly goes away when it's inconvenient. Their view of themselves as superior beings is not merely the whiteness of their skin but anything that will help safeguard their economic position via fascism and imperialism; this includes homophobia at home and weaponizing it abroad in the form of rainbow imperialism.
Suppose you do not fight this white supremacist system by any means necessary, including acts of violence so horrible that the little Hitler residing inside your white grandpa would get a heart attack. In that case, you are a coward, and the concessions you received from this imperialist system will end when the workers of the global south cut their connections with their exploiters and look for better alternatives. This capitalist monstrosity will starve to death one day, and its adherents will perish with it. As for the "good" liberals, like social democrats, their only purpose is to nullify global progress; historians will someday analyze it in that manner when Marxists and all international workers ultimately prevail in our shared struggle. We are on the right side of history, and knowing this always brings me some happiness and a spark of hope in a world where most only feel despair.
Thanks for reading my rant, which is basically screaming into a void. I hope the text made sense because I'm very tired.
You can't be the lesser evil if you're in power... you're just the evil then.
