Politics have consequences. When elected politicians vote to arms ongoing genocide, people die. When elected politicians vote to deny people healthcare, people die. Politics and its consequences is inherently violent. dennis. If you want nonviolence take up rattan basket weaving

What's the matter, are we not voting hard enough for you?

[–] SkingradGuard@hexbear.net 28 points 2 weeks ago

What the fuck are you talking about? If we say what we say here on other social media sites, we'd be banned or if you live in AmeriKKKa/UK, be visited by the feds

taking back our nation from fascists.

Quick question, when did the fascists gain control?

[–] FlakesBongler@hexbear.net 27 points 2 weeks ago

big-cool yup, every Hexbearino has the capability to completely overthrow society and reform the economic systems of the world

We just don't do it because the internet is too engaging

Well, compared to such option, you can lie down and die, when the police cars decide to run over you for your peaceful protests, and have the right wing media commenters mock you for not moving. That'd be the most moral thing you can do.

Dying like a innocent lamb, what a Jesus-like figure.

Edit: btw, post this in Democratic Republic of Lemmygrad or any other anti-tankie comm, IF you want

"uh I didn't vote for the fascists, I voted for the party that tolerates the fascists, failed to put up any kind of real opposition to the fascists, and lost an election to the most obviously incapable candidate of all time . . . And who then handed power over peacefully to the fascists while spewing platitudes about how important it is to work peacefully with the fascists. And who also have 95% of the same goals as the fascists just with a progressive coat of paint. And that is totally different and makes me the adult in the room" you would have been totally on board with appeasement.

Continued the genocide the Democrats helped start and sustain

[–] ShimmeringKoi@hexbear.net 14 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Hey dawg I don't care how you slice your genocide support, only that you eat it

[–] the_q@lemmy.zip -2 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I don't support genocide, at least not actively, but I'm not delusional enough to think the Republicans are the lesser of 2 evils.

[–] BelieveRevolt@hexbear.net 13 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I don't support genocide, at least not actively

lmao.

[–] BelieveRevolt@hexbear.net 21 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

taking back our nation

Most educated liberal, nobody on here who lives in amerikkka thinks it's good or salvageable.

[–] robot_dog_with_gun@hexbear.net 19 points 2 weeks ago

i saw someone saying minnesota dems should do reprisal killings, is that good enough?

[–] MizuTama@hexbear.net 16 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

I mean if you've been here long enough you've probably had to tell someone to delete something for fedposting but there is also a difference between wanting people to incite violence versus thinking decrying violent action universally is dumb, especially in the context of how it is used in cases such as Trump's piercing: where violence directed at the state is treated as political violence but violence that the state itself regularly commits is treated as non-existent and non-political.
