as long as you're not Palestinian the Democrats are "anti-fascist™"

the Democrats were not "the anti-fascist coalition", the politicians at least were pretty uniformly agreed on continuing their preferred genocide.

You were arguing that their genocidal behavior was a lesser evil than what the Republicans are capable of. That may be true, but it doesn't suddenly make the Democrats an anti-fascist coalition.

My not voting for democrats had zero impact because theres no popular vote.

I'm trans and I spent all of 2024 trying to point out that the Democrats were making a catastrophic mistake by continuing to arm the genocidal settlers and expecting everyone to forget just in time for the election. That fell on deaf ears. Here we are now with the consequences clear to see and all I can conclude is that some people will never learn.

voting to send more weapons to settlers so they are able to genocide with impunity makes her complicit

It's not really a thing, and to the extent that it is, it's projection of the orientation of the people assigning the view to others in the first place

I’m surprised people still use TPB.

re campism:

Personally I arrive at opposing NATO because I'm opposed to all wars but the class war as it were. It's not out of a sense of wanting to 'shield' Russia.

I live in the US and thus I oppose its use of military force around the world, if I was back in Russia I would still be opposed to the war on general principle, with all of the associated political risks.

I'm not sure I see what the 'trap' is in your line of thought, but if you're insisting that lack of support for NATO as a citizen in a NATO country is somehow a position that people are tricked into, I think you may be misunderstanding the situation.

re hexbear:

but, well… we know it’s already way past critical support.

I'm not sure they're as in the tank for Putin as you say, I'm subbed to most if not all of their comms and I will routinely come across things like this it's pretty clearly shitting on the CPRF for going along with SMO, the kind-vladimir-ilyich emoji is imparting 'lenin would have shot everyone in this room', I have to imagine that includes Putin. One of their news mods is said 'If you're a communist party and Putin is praising you, you're not a communist party.'

The ghost of that second international will still haunt us for a long time…

on the anarchist end it's the manifesto of the sixteen vs the anti-war manifesto, the latter is a banger I recommend it:

The misfortune of the peoples, who were nevertheless all deeply committed to peace, is that they trusted in the State with its scheming diplomats, in democracy and in the political parties (even the opposition parties, like the parliamentary socialists) to avert war. That trust was deliberately abused and continues to be abused when those in government, with the help of their whole press, persuade their respective peoples that this war is a war of liberation.

I know you are a leftist, and at one point I thought I was too, but compared to the likes of hexbear and lemmygrad.ml and even lemmy.ml we are flaming right-wingers, I believe? if you [checks notes] “have a bank account”, then you aren’t leftist enough for them).

I promise you I have a bank account. I'm an anarchist and I prefer .ml because I don't care about opposing "campism". (not a real thing)

I'm more on the intersection of anarchism and Luxemburgism; I share a lot of her criticism of the USSR and I find Marxists often end up agreeing with me. At the end of the day I oppose inter-capitalist wars and support revolutionary organizing against the existing system. That alone is enough to put me on the bad side of most of lib Lemmy.

A divide like this happened among anarchists in the first world war too.

they’re unlikely to engage with most of the free-speaking world at this point, because it would just be a torrent of abuse and mockery and so what would even be gained by it.

side effects of never letting a good opportunity to red bait go to waste I guess
