I’m assuming there was a large violent massacre

Holy shit people just say things

Could you cite that please? It isn’t that I don’t believe you I just want to know where you learned it.

“Pogrom” was coined in Russia and became well known largely because of the Russian Civil War.

Weird I distinctly remember reading about pogromists being one consideration for the bolsheviks in how to participate in the 2nd Duma and that was before the Civil War.

What if fucking over those specific capitalists is a greater win for the capitalist class worldwide?

Buddy I’m already on team “Fuck the Tsar”

A bloody Civil War to end monarchism is not equivalent to what the US gets up to on a regular basis for the sake of making capitalists richer.

Well you see they shot some monarchists and that’s equivalent to murdering tens of millions of brown people somehow.

For me it isn’t really worth thinking about unfalsifiable things? If you’re looking for guidance, community, and inclusion, go join a socialist org or a queer community center?

uyghur and tibetan genocide deniers

You mean like the ethnically and religiously diverse muslim delegations from around the world that investigated the claims of uyghur genocide and declared them unfounded?

Here is an article trying to spin it from voice of america, a state funded US media outlet:

https://www.voanews.com/a/arab-league-visits-china-s-xinjiang-region-rejects-uyghur-genocide/7131285.html

I think the claims of genocide in Tibet are kinda goofy, given the US is trying to prop up some child-tongue-sucking theocratic feudalists to install as their regime.

They lost in 2024 because they couldn’t address the economy and kept sending billions to Israel as it was committing a very public genocide lol, not because they stood up for people.

Okay, so are you not able to or not willing to answer the question of “what has to happen for you to start giving a shit?”

Do you not understand that this topic includes democratic politicians straight up being collaborators, and how that might be relevant to the argument you’re trying to make?

The immediate alternative was still worse.

This is right after the election.The immediate alternative is that democrats don’t fucking cave on whether they should take part in genocide, when taking part in that genocide is actually incredibly unpopular with voters.

When do you plan on actually contributing to an alternative?

Seriously, what concrete things need to happen before you’re like “a better world is worth taking risks for”?

You said:

In the meantime: this is the hole we are in. Act accordingly.

AKA “I’m acting like this reality is inescapable”

And also:

If you could actually fucking do that, I would welcome it with open arms.

AKA “I’d love it if someone were to do the work for me”

As we all know, systemic forces can not be worse than being robbed at gunpoint.

You do understand that fucking holocaust survivors have called this anti-trans push genocidal, right? Democrats who are also pushing it are also pushing extermination.

whenever someone tells you to stop letting outright fascists take power

Read Fascism and Social Revolution by R. Palme Dutt

Read Economy and Class Structure of German Fascism by A Sohn-Rethel

Then tell me that it is possible to keep fascism out of power through voting.

So what are you doing right now to fight fascism? If the answer doesn’t include being active in a socialist organization, the only people that historically have been effective at opposing fascism, then the answer is effectively “diddly-squat”, and you should get your ass in gear.

Someone saying “your access to lifesaving medication or your life” is functionally the same thing as them saying "your life (slow) or your life (fast)

So your solution to getting out of the hole is to pretend like the hole is inescapable until someone else does the work? Isn’t that kind of cowardly?

Do you conceive of your entire political reality as waiting anxiously who to vote for in November? Do you not see any political action you can take outside of elections that are ultimately owned by the capitalist class?

“But I’m being oppressed under democrats”

“We will let the other guy torture you if you do not comply(well actually it entirely depends on what white cishet people vote for), and our core base will say you deserved it for not voting hard enough.”
