On a different Lemmy account I forgot to switch to local and was subjected to the cesspool of Lemmy World. There I encountered libs being seriously condescending toward Muslims in America for boycotting Genocide Joe. Shit like "don't they realize Trump will be worse for minorities" and "that's shortsighted and a failure of Muslim leadership" and even the incomprehensible "hate is a bad long term strategy" (this just in folks, opposing genocide is Hate, supporting genocide is Love! But Liberals aren't fascists! /s)

Fuck Liberals. I almost respect Conservative racists more because they're open about being evil scum, whereas the libs are too deluded to even admit to themselves that they're racist.

    It's absolutely great that any condemnation of their own particular branch of racism can be brushed off with the thought-terminating "The Other Side is Worse!"

    Geez, it's like getting forced to pick between getting stabbed in the face or getting stabbed in the leg and being told "No, not being stabbed at all isn't an option"

      They're a lot more similar than face vs leg. It's like getting to be thankful for the privilege of choosing whether they drive the iron spike into your brain through your right eye or your left eye.
