Young people often lack the emotional maturity, experience, and appreciation for nuance and complexity that allows more mature people to see the value in choosing the lesser of evils. Young people are attracted to the idea of acting on principles. It makes them feel good.
FUCK these people and FUCK all these shitty brainwashed Dems. Soulless freaks the lot of em

There's literally bombs being dropped on Gazan youth; would the Gazan youth recommend Arab Americans also vote for Biden? If not, is it because acting on principle would make them feel good?
This is like that comic page someone uploaded where a (mouse) parent sees their kid crying over the dead in a bombed hospital and he dismisses it by saying it had radical Islam, and when the kid is still sad about it the parents are confused and claim that that generation weird.
Nuance! Complexity! The reasons why Joe has been baying for Palestinian blood for decades are nuanced. The reasons why we have to support the extermination of an entire people and there are no alternatives are complicated! You just need to be mature enough to see that exterminating 2 million people and bulldozing their graves is the lesser evil!
I’ve had to examine complex situations before, and I can tell you with a great deal of confidence that the situation in Palestine right now really isn’t that complicated. I mean, can anybody seriously argue that nobody has any business judging an F‐35 dropping bombs on Arab children unless you have a PhD in Middle East studies? Come on, that would be ridiculous.
Reminds me of this incredible answer Michael Brooks gave to that point. Just shutting it down then and there "it is not complicated, it is as uncomplicated as possible"

That comment embodies the essence of modern liberalism:
condescendingly gesturing at "nuance" and "complexity" to hand-wave any criticism ("you just don't get it!")
infantilizing the critic by suggesting that having empty principles that you don't act on is a sign of maturity rather than weakness and moral inferiority
pretending that their betters are actually just doing things to feel good about themselves, which is also an example of projection since liberals goddamn love performative useless bullshit that makes them feel like they've done something
liberals fucking love to infantilize people and it seems to not interest them that makes you pretty fucking hated, especially if your grievances are entirely valid!
It doesn't matter how old I get, they never stop saying this shit, they just shuffle the words around to make them "age appropriate."
The people who say this are always spineless and unprincipled. Their cravens who desperately cling to the status quo because they can't bear discomfort and only care to reap the benefits of their undeserved privilege.

The strip is called Happy Roadkill.
I solemnly swear to never grow out of my principles.
What does such a person grow into?
A politician
Knee-jerk devotion to the status quo
Hezrou. Maybe a barbezue

What do you even do with people like this?
The dullards repeating ‘golly, it’s sooooo complicated’ almost(?) never talk about the history of Palestine, like the Balfour Declaration, the Ha’avara agreement, Palestinian antifascism, Operation Dalet, 1967, the ‘Yom Kippur’ war, Hamas’s creation… anything of substance, basically.

... Why did the fascist bourgeoisie adopt antisemitism? Your research seems interesting, it'd be great if you could share some of it on c/effort :)

Aka, they're either gullible or spineless.
Listen kiddo, maybe once you've become a grown up white person you'll understand how the Real World works
this comment gives me terrible flashbacks
people are really genuinely this awful - it's so hard to accept, but it's true
liberals fucking love to infantilize people and it seems to not interest them that makes you pretty fucking hated, especially if your grievances are entirely valid!
Snd they especially love to do it to PoC people
Bill Maher the redditor.

FUCK these people.
if you are a young socialist: You're just a kid who doesn't know anything about the ways of the world
if you are an old socialist: You're just a crazy relic of a bygone past
if you are a poor socialist: You're just jealous and lazy and want revenge on your betters
if you are a rich socialist: You're just a spoiled champagne socialist who knows nothing about hard work
No correct way to be a socialist.
What the an a person act on if not principles? Principles are defined by action.
vibes?
The lesser evil right now is Unlimited Central Park
Vote for the lesser of two genocides.
This is it folks, the height of liberal hypocrisy. We made it.
But Russia is genociding Ukraine and we need to go to extreme measures in order to make them stop
They cannot stand that we have principle, lines we will not cross. It makes them angrier than Trump by far.
