“Lesser evils”

I would break my ribcage and turn my rib bones into bayonets so Hamas can stab more zionazi colonizers

Lesser-evilists when imperial periphery:

Hamas bad because they kill soldiers within a crowd of civilians. Israel and pax americana reign of terror good because they kill civilians that supposedly host terrorists without evidence.
- People, especially academics, will read and quote Fanon and then denounce any and all indigenous resistance. Goes to show they have just turned everything into a career.

Lesser evilers on their way to run defence for a fascist war criminal

Some of those people said if it was tossup between hitler or mussolini, they would vote mussolini. I don't know whether they got 0 historical illiteracy or legit believe it, either way they giving the veneer away.

Why does it say 8 comments but there are only like 2?
- hexbear user 🫵
  it's because they're from instances that defederated with hexbear
  
  Oh lol
- Mine says 16 and there are a lot idk

I have a legitimate question. I think I have a hard time understanding the argument that I should not vote for Biden because I am operating under the presupposition that there will inevitably only be one of two outcomes: either Biden or Trump will be president. And within those two outcomes, one is objectively worse than the other. So... Why would I not act to hopefully enable the less bad option from becoming my future?
- Both parties are nearly fascist. Both support genocide in Palestine and slaughter at the border. Biden has done more against his supposed promises than for. In the end, I don’t care if you vote. It doesn’t take that long, it won’t matter, and you shouldn’t fret about getting out the vote or something. Energy is best spent outside of electoralism, but you can engage a bit if you want.
  
  "Nearly" fascist is giving those peckerwoods a LOT more leeway than they deserve
- And how exactly is it better? Both are puppets of capital and will keep the genocide of the Palestinian people and the war in Ukraine moving. Saying the democrats are better is just pure propaganda. After 4 years of presidency, children are still in cages, anti-trans laws are still being passed, working conditions haven't improved at all and Guantanamo bay is still operating... I could go on for ages, but I think you get the idea.
  So, how is voting for Democrats any better?
  
  we got some train money and the usa is back on the paris accord and they passed the best climate legislation the usa has (to be clear because i know u dont understand the word "best" it is not good nor enough it less bad than everything else), we got some student loan debt relief. a few good things have actually happened that would almost certainly not have happened otherwise.
- I'm not going to vote for someone giving full-throated endorsement and material support for genocide. If that isn't a red line, nothing is.
- To add to what OP said, the takeaway is that people should be taking politics elsewhere, making propaganda, picketing, whatever (of course, it's better under a party, which would organize people in order to achieve some goals, but something, anything, is better than nothing). Electoralism didn't achieve the 8-hour working day.

- Hamas is worth critical support
  Of course it is, all support should be critical.
  so is “Hamas is actually good, though.”
  No they are actively doing great damage to the occupation forces. Obviously we’d prefer that the PFLP was the dominant party, but given how things are at the moment, Hamas is good.
  
  "XYZ is good" is invariably read as blanket approval of everything XYZ does. That's not what we mean, so we shouldn't say it.
- Aren't you the guy who constantly curves the colonized who bring up any kind of attempted struggle against their settlers? Yeah, this peckerwood-assed take scans coming from you. Hell, there's already been a read-down on you; it ain't just me.
  Do better.
  
  Aren't you the guy who constantly curves the colonized who bring up successful struggle against their settlers?
  That's a link to a thread about working class people being more generous about sharing small costs, where I point out that class traitors have played prominent roles in every successful revolution, and should be encouraged.
  How is that related to "critical support is the best take, not a blanket endorsement"

What is supposed to be the message?
- Liberals justify supporting Biden as a “lesser evil” to trump. They show hypocrisy in the Palestinian situation where they can see it’s a genocide but refuse to support the resistance to genocide. Hamas is not only “less bad” than “Israel” (the argument for Biden), Hamas is simply good.
  
  Thanks for the explanation!

Ah comrades from lemmygrad. I constantly wonder if I should block you or not. On the one hand you are some third grade socialists after all but on the other… well
- Don't worry we now blocked us for you <3
- Ah, crackers from lemm.ee. Get bent around the carceral state you fetishize.
  
  I am an anarchist nowadays, better than some twisted cult of one person of yours
