I really do feel like I'm taking crazy pills with libs this election. The last two they at least had a bloodless rationale to the "lesser of two evils" rhetoric.

But this is genocide, the canonical Worst Thing You Can DO! I know many just believe that it's not a genocide at all because Palestinian civilians are all Hamas and just subhuman or that the videos published by official IOF channels are all deepfaked by the hungry ghost of Nasrallah. But then just FUCKING SAY IT and then we can call you a genocide denier and we'll know where we stand!

What I can't get is that many do seem to agree it's a genocide and Kamala is complicit. But then they lesser evil by going "Well if we don't vote then Trump will do bad things to trans people here."

Like Fuck You! You scheming, gaslighting bloody handed monster!

Either this is just a disingenuous argument to get your team in power or to maintain liberal civility politics, in which case double Fuck You that you think people are abstract political tools.

Or, you actually believe this, and the freedom of an LGBT person here outweighs the lives of 2 million people, many LGBT, who happen to have had the extreme misfortune to be born 5 cm over the border and thus outside your ability to feel empathy.

In which case Triple Fuck You, because you are, somehow, more of a fascist than Trump. At least Trump is too incoherent to make a complete argument for fascist policy!

I'm going mad, I really am. How can people be streamed genocide live on CNN and just say "well, I guess we're ok with genocide now!" Is the US public even human?! Even the fucking Germans had the good sense to pretend to look guilty after they lost.

    CW internalized ND brainworms

    I have had a difficult time coming to grips with my recent ADHD diag and the exhausting path I'm still walkin' tryina find out what skittle flavor i am in my end of the autism rainbow. Been feeling bad, like i am broken, wrong, in my genes.

    But then i see the kinda things, things like this, the absolute lack of empathy that supposedly NT people are capable of and am proud of my capacity to feel real pain in my heart for people i will never meet. It is automatic, immutable. It drives me, it's one of the few things i just know

    And then i don't wish to be "normal" anymore.

      Right?!? I don't get it! Why care so much about what side of an imaginary line (border) someone lives on? Why do we have to divide ourselves into so many different groups?

      We're all humans here but most humans don't see it that way. And I'm the outcast who's politically homeless

        I really am not looking forward to the change that comes on the back of this level of anger, frustration, and alienation, but while I can't fully relate to you, I'm with you in the spirit of, "there's basically nothing of this society that shouldn't be torn down and annihilated"

        Whatever is coming will be really fucking ugly and deserved, I won't raise a hand to stop it even if i'm outside of it, unless it's on the backs of a bunch of white fascists, then i'll die fighting it I guess.

        I'm sick of being desperate. I'm sick of watching loved and desperate people fall down to be crushed underfoot. Meanwhile I've got the dumbest people in the world telling me a ballot will fix this.

      They call it "black and white thinking" and a "heightened sense of justice" and it's like my god they consider having basic moral convictions to be a symptom of illness!
