      Basically everyone to the left of the Dennis Prager generally agrees that murdering an entire continent of Native Americans was bad but that doesn't stop liberals from using the exact fucking same goddamn talking points they used to justify that

      fucking shit, liberals are the most historically illiterate people on the planet

        Liberals retain the settler colonial mindset. They compartmentalize their alleged empathy for genocided indigenous peoples. It has no impact on what they actually materially do and support.

        If an isolated Native American group killed a single cracker every liberal you know would be calling for finishing the genocide

        It’s only in retrospect that they get with the picture, anything currently happening is completely guided by whatever imperialist propaganda wants it to be. It’s maddening lol

        Just post the ‘ask no compassion from you’ quote at them and be done with it tbh. I’ve found that doing that has pretty much fully replaced sui baiting in my vocabulary as a more heart-of-the-matter way to express extreme but as-of-yet-unactionable rage marx-joker

              For context this was Marx writing in response to his paper being shut down by Prussian authorities. It was literally him being forced to log off. Adds the the epic quality

          It was the Redpill invasion of New Zealand copypasta come to life with historically accurate consequences.

          "The Red Pill is 120 thousand fit college educated middle class men. If we really wanted to we could invade New Zealand and install a new government. We definitely have the manpower. There are plenty of veterans here. Plus everyone here knows where the magazine release is on an M16, from years of playing Call Of Duty.

          Realistically the Red Pill Reaction Force would be far more effective than half the world's militaries. The Afghan military is fucked up on opium. The Iraqi army cant even do jumping jacks. . Plus New Zealand has only 8 thousand military personnel the majority of whom are useless paper pushers.

          I don't actually support the violent overthrow of New Zealand. I just think its kind of a fun idea conceptualy."

    I think you're trying too hard to argue with people. Take some time off, I appreciate your hard work, I've seen you trying to reach the most unreachable for months and sometimes it's okay to take a break

          Oh look somebody pretending not to know the tolerance paradox.

          Not tolerating bloodthirsty assholes calling for wiping out Palestinians actually does not make you as bad as the people who want to do genocide.

          Because the only way fascism has ever been defeated is through violence, usually while libs are complaining about how that makes the people actually sacrificing and fighting fascists as bad as the fascists.

    I have a LinkedIn account for work, which is obviously always filled with the most absolutely brain meltingly stupid shit, but today it's a lot of weird stuff like "please reach out to your Jewish friends, they are NOT ok. If they cancel meetings just let them. Blah blah." It's like if somebody was repeatedly punching another person, then the second they get punched back they act completely shocked and hurt and can't understand why it happened to them. It's even weirder because not every Jewish person I know views Israel the same way.

      LinkedIn is a cesspit of bourgeois ideology... just like 90% of the mainstream internet, but LinkedIn especially since it explicitly exists for careerist self promotion and opportunism.

        Exactly! I can't fucking stand watching people post shit like "Wow what an incredible journey this has been, I've finally achieved my lifelong dream to get this role." and they're like a mid-level manager at Salesforce or something.

    For what it's worth, you're not alone. A lot of us feel the same white hot rage and have no idea what to do with it, can only lash out in a way that has no purpose. I don't know how to fix it because I have the same issue, but I'd tell someone who isn't me to step back a little for their own mental health.

        I understand wanting to stay informed and wanting to tell those people to fuck off but please think of your mental wellbeing. At a certain point, you're not defending a cause so much as you're doing an act of digital self harm to yourself, even if you have good intentions meow-hug
