@Quasit Lmao these chatgpt-ass arguments.

@Air_Quotes_Comedian You can have short term and long term ideas. It's okay. You're not a traitor to the revolution if you understand and can talk about what can be done immediately rather than just daydreaming about the best case scenario.

@Quasit And Jill Stein isn't part of the Oligarchy even though she dined with Putin, and wants Ukraine to surrender, allowing ukrainian children to be murdered with impunity. Great alternative choice you have there.

@Quasit Voting for Jill Stein is going to fix that issue?

@Quasit "my leg is bleeding and the dirty rag is actually worse than the shit-smeared rag, i'm just going to throw oregano on it and keep walking"

@flawed This word doesn't convey, it confuses.
If you're talking about the negative parts of liberals, then talk about liberals not fascists. If you want to draw comparisons, you can call them the fascistic tendencies or acts or consequences of libs. If libs are ineffective, complacent, blind to, or vulnerable to fascism, say that.

I don't know your viewpoint on the matter, but based on previous discussions with people who conflate these two terms, it's often because they use 'fascist' like it's a slur or derogatory term instead of a descriptive term.

Fascist is not a slur. It's an ideology. 'fashlib' only tells me your attitude toward libs, the way a slur would, and not what the libs actually are. Are they normal libs? Fascists pretending to be libs?

@arrrg If they win this election, Trump may be too old or dead to try next time, and the republicans consistently fail to rally around anyone else because not even their voterbase can pretend that the likes of DeSantis or Kari Lake aren't inhuman ghouls.

This means that the dems can literally beat the fascists if they defeat their god emperor this election.

@Mistercaz94 When I was veering toward the right as a teen, being shown the ADL being giga cringe was a big part of it. Fortunately I came to my senses... but not for related reasons. Fuck zionists.

@sidereal Makes sense in my head given that they're the guys who say 'leftist unity' the most, if they see themselves as leftist but we don't, it probably looks like sectarianism, but of course what it actually is, is anti-fascism.

@stylo_the_unicorn We should leave being undiscerning to the libs.

@stylo_the_unicorn Because voting is a power you have, and it's easy to exercise. There's people with your views filling seats where fascists would otherwise sit and the reason that's happening is people are voting for them.

@HeavenlyPossum Aha, I finally see what's going on here; Clearly you value and enjoy 'being right', but unfortunately, that's not a winning strategy. If being right was helpful, the left would not be losing as badly as they are in the world, because they're right on basically every issue.

Were anti-conscription arguments used by pro-russians to undermine pro-ukraine messaging though? Asking.

Because if it was a widely used tactic, then I would tell you not to waste time arguing against conscription, and instead talk about how Russia is cynically employing leftist rhetoric to undermine support of Ukraine and enable its own conscription for genocide and imperialism.

Wresting back control of the conversation is infinitely more valuable than 'being right' on any given issue.

Saying hamas bad is right, but not insightful, saying Azov bad is right, but even less insightful, saying conscription bad is a lot better but if it's a core part of their propaganda strategy then the right thing would be to say that they're abusing that good point instead of just saying conscription bad.

I was addicted to 'being right' as a teenager baby leftoid and it caused me to say a lotta right wing shit, until I figured out that I was being counterproductive.

Propaganda is not lies; it's about highlighing what suits your narrative. Don't help the rightoids control the conversation by joining in on their 'what about Hamas' dogpile.

Hamas are bad; but the west needs to change its minds on Israel, not Hamas, for the genocide to be averted. We can stop people from agreeing with Israel, we can't stop islamists from being islamists except to drop fewer bombs on brown people; and that'll sooner happen by criticizing Israel as well.

@HeavenlyPossum @passenger @darcher What about when the rhetorical sloppiness IS the obfuscation?

@Sylvhem Inkbound is the new game by the Monster Train devs, a very tight, chill, and smooth roguelike, and is set in a library from which you enter storybooks to fight monsters.

@skepticsbookoflists Bears are not killing machines that attack on sight. The worst case scenario is only a small part of what you gotta take into account.

@Aleph All of the charges are being dropped though because the lawmen are looking over it and determining them all obvious bullshit that cops are obviously just doing it to intimidate. No consequences to the cops of course, but there's noone you could ever vote for for that particular issue.

@MikeDunnAuthor Nobody's arguing the lesser evil isn't evil.

@lethargilistic The right decision can look very different if you don't think you'll survive the next bout of non-reduced harm.

@justicesandwich @mondoweiss @palestine @israel

I'm glad unlike most Israel defenders that you acknowledge that history didn't begin on October 7th, but that doesn't mean you're not deepthroating the boot, you fascist ethnostate excusing piece of shit.
