An argument that RadLibs have been making lately is that there's no universe in which a pro-Palestinian candidate gets in reach of the presidency, so you're obligated to support the least-bad option. So true!

Now let's do a little extrapolation.

Anyone who's glanced at even a single page of climate science knows that there is no universe in which the American people and a stable, sustainable global ecosystem coexist. Given this unfortunate but unavoidable reality, it is everyone's duty to support the Harm Reduction of exterminating 330 million Americans.

Since the odds of humanity going extinct in the next century are approaching 100%, there is no scenario in which zero people die to climate catastrophe.

Given that people are obligated to vote for the candidate who would ensure that 99.9% of Gazans are killed instead of 100%, it is equally true that you must throw all your weight behind the scenario that ensures only 330 million deaths instead of of 8 billion.

If you oppose this Politically Unavoidable Genocide, you are simply a privileged purity Leftist who doesn't care about Harm Reduction!

    Given how a lot of those Harm Reduction Harris advocates try to shift the focus to domestic issues, I'm sure they'll love this.

    American race relations? Solved. m4a? Unnecessary. Infrastructure? Nobody's using it. Transphobes? Gone. Drumpf? Dead.

      Guy who's opposed to this because it means the U.S. will never pay off the national debt

        Use this one weird trick to avoid paying your debts! The Treasury HATES it!

      I have a hypothesis that people react differently to the cold calculus of Politically Necessary Genocide when it's their loved ones who are being offered up for sacrifice. But I suppose we'll see.

        You think so? No, they're just being 100% Pragmatic about things, I'm sure their own personal feelings won't come into the equation at all.

      The last time I suggested that getting rid of Americans would be a net good, people got really mad for some reason.

        Question: Does that include Americans living outside the USA?

        ...I suppose it would, actually, 'cause there's probably more NATO ghouls, sexpats, large adult sons in universities, and richos with summer homes, among the "Americans outside the USA", than there are actually half-decent people.

        Alright, alright, let me rephrase: Does "getting rid of Americans" include Americans born abroad, who have never lived in the United States? Asking for a friend.

          I don't have an answer right now, but I promise that if I ever approach a position of power, I will have a fully-detailed policy paper on the American Question.

            I mean, I would just like to know whether I should expect a blue-haired anime girl dressed up as the Statue of Liberty to turn me into A&W Root Beer, or whether I should expect to be choked on a white sand beach next to a red-colored lake neath a star-spangled dark blue sky.

        You wouldn't need to get rid of all of them.

        Just the binding structure around them, and maybe 10 million to be fully expropriated and put in residential reparation programs.

    i don't think radlibs words are worth anything at all, their only consistent position is unquestionable loyalty to the US empire (even for those that aren't Usians apparently). For example here you have all of them suddenly supporting draft when their favourite pet nazi regime do it, even though being antidraft is supposed to be one of their core ideas. There's even one of them there really going straight to the point with opposing draft in USA and supporting it on Ukraine.

        I wouldn't be so glad, those aren't our enemies, those are their lowest pawns. In case of them, stupidity is way more dangerous because they are so easy to pawn around by whomever hold their information intakes.

    I would unironically let myself die if it meant that the West goes with me. OK ya I'd want the young people and non-white to survive.

    Math rules cause when you put numbers into a lie and the equations work, people assume the whole thing your saying is true.
