I know I’m going against the grain here, I’m obviously no Harris lover, but also I’d prefer to be allowed to continue existing. If that’s controversial in leftist spaces then maybe I don’t want to spend any more time in leftist spaces.

    I’ve literally had someone ask me what makes me think I deserve to live more than Palestinian kids.

    This is where we’re at.

        Don’t you see, they have absolved themselves of responsibility by making themselves a bystander. Actually pretty smart. When “they” come for us and start looking at the voters rolls these guys will get a pizza party while the rest of us go to gas chambers.

            Don’t worry, these are the same people that are going to reclaim the levers of power through force. It just has to get bad enough for the rest of us so that we have no choice but to defacto join their side.

            Pretty considerate of them, really. We oppressed them by suggesting they make their vote count for something. They put the country in turmoil and now depend on us to bail everyone out. Fairs, fair.

              The poor man’s version of the rich doomsday ‘I’m gonna be king of my own private island!’ lunatics.

      I don’t like the idea of claiming a whole group I disagree with is comprised of bots or paid agents trolling to create division, but at this point, the only plausible alternatives to that are either those people are having a severe martyr complex, or just are so overly privileged that they are divorcing themselves from reality and don’t/can’t comprehend the consequences of what they’re advocating, essentially treating this whole thing like a sports game.

      Or maybe both, and are trying to throw trans people, black people, women, etc. under the bus to fuel their martyr complex in their stead.
