liberals will beg and please with journalists to please stop printing photos of the Holocaust before ever daring to reflect why photos of the Holocaust continue to be produced (cw: contrapoints, gaza)

"stop showing me the horrors" stop supporting the horrors. stop lending credence to the people doing the horrors. stop trying to block out the horrors. stop trying to unfocus your brain from the horrors because it's no longer in your interest to face them. you do not get a second of peace. you want to forget this is happening. you will not be allowed to forget. you do not get that privilege when you are an active launderer of monsters.
you will either develop empathy for the victims and indignity towards the machine or you will be made to feel guilty for your abettance of it with the last shreds of empathy you have. if you are ever, ever made ignorant of what exactly you are supporting, it is imperative that you are fucking Ludovico'd with the consequences of your ideology until your cognitive dissonance is hammered away and you fall with a side that exists in reality, you mealy-mouthed fence-sitting war-criminal-hosting spineless piece of shit.
You're viewing a single thread.
Liberals are universally self-obsessed and weak-minded, giving them ptsd is an easy but effective strategy, if for no other reason than to unbalance them personally and socially
Obviously doesn't work on the true psychopaths among them, but even they recognize the cost of the chilling effect REAL headless babies has on public discourse
giving them ptsd is an easy but effective strategy
The way I see it, if they want to normalize headless toddlers then they should straight up pay a very personnel psychic cost for it
If there was any real justice, they'd all be flown en masse to Gaza to dig the graves
Who are they? Joe Biden? Contrapoints? Your liberal relative that votes Democrat?
YES, literally all of them and more, ANY mfs who even acts or pretends the Democratic Party isn't engaging in a genocide
Are you pressed over this basic ass take lmao????
I actually am pressed, yes. I figured on a forum where content warnings are so commonplace, there wouldn't be so many people flagrantly in support of traumatizing as many people as possible. And this clearly isn't an effective political strategy either, considering every single Twitter user I've seen become more empathetic towards Palestine after seeing the images was already a comrade but now is much likelier to develop mental health issues - a net negative to the cause!!
STOP and chill out, I am not talking about comrades or people sympathetic to the Palestinian plight, in fact those people should not watch videos of headless toddlers, I am talking only about people who stan the genocide or make excuses for it, and I made that perfectly clear to the point that it's pretty wild for you to start accusing me of wanting to "traumatize as many people as possible" cause that is not what I support
If a person supports the genocide or parties committing it, they should be traumatized end of story
If a person DOES NOT support the genocide or the parties committing it, then they should avoid videos that could traumatize them since it's not healthy and they don't deserve it
I just don't see the point in focusing so much on punishment. It's not politically useful. Yet, I've expressed similar sentiments recently so I shouldn't get so pressed...
I will also apologize for conflating you and your individual stance with collective sentiments I've seen here and on Twitter.
Trauma can absolutely be politically useful, just look at how Trump's ptsd is fucking up his campaign; he's depressive, distracted, and lethargic, qualities we all want our enemies to have in abundance
It's literally the concept of demoralization, which politically and historically is one of the most crucial ingredients for victory in practically any sphere of life, especially politics and class struggle
We want our enemies to be unstable, depressed and anxious, it increases the chances of them miscalculating and making mistakes which in turn increases the opportunities to oppose their genocidal intentions
I see no difference between forcing genocide supporters to view the result of their actions, and parading German civilians at gunpoint through concentration camps after WW2.
Eisenhower was right to do the latter.
