It’s not just Jill Stein, it’s a lot of people you see talking about Gaza as some blood curdling atrocity, but they don’t have the same level of empathy or consideration for Ukrainians.

I don't want the US government selling weapons to Russia to use against Ukrainians. I'm glad we aren't.

Not yet, anyway. That's absolutely Trump's plan though. You want to help prevent that?

You want to quit calling me a trumper every time I speak out against genocide?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago

Why can’t they? You accuse everyone you talk to of supporting genocide. Quit playing the victim of the exact same shit you do to everyone here.

Putting a question mark at the end of a lie doesn't make it a question. I'm already voting for Harris, and you will never care because all you want in this world is total unquestioning loving support for Netanyahu and the genocide he's committing for you.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

You can put "but I'm voting for Harris" in tiny font at the end of one of your countless attacks on Democrats, it doesn't absolve you of the damage you do.

Also I'm starting to worry you're getting high on your own supply here - you do recall that I don't actually support Netanyahu and your accusing me of it is just a rhetorical device, right?

Since you keep ignoring that I'm not a trump supporter and keep lying about me, there's no reason for me to take anything you say at face value either.

edit: Elsewhere in the thread, there's someone outright denying genocide. You've chosen to focus your attention on someone who objects to genocide instead.

No. You decided to confront me and call me a Trump supporter. You ignored the genocide denier because his cause is your cause.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Well there's a difference between "you are a Trump supporter" and "you are supporting Trump". I accuse you of the latter.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 months ago (1 children)

You proactively call opposition to genocide trump support.

You won't say boo to genocide deniers.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Correct. But I wouldn't insult you by implying that your views are ideologically similar to Trump.

[–] [email protected] -1 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

Except for virtually every conversation we've ever had. And now you're calling me a genocide denier.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Neither of us is a genocide denier and we both know it, so whenever you start with that crap I tend to ignore it.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I know I'm not a genocide denier.

Is Netanyahu committing genocide?

Then tell it to the guy who's denying genocide instead of getting pissed off that someone opposes the genocide you just admitted is happening.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Plenty of people willing to do that. "There is no genocide" is a viewpoint that gets shut down pretty quickly around here. It's not dangerous (on lemmy - in the real world it's very dangerous of course).

"There is a genocide, and we need to exclusively attack Democrats for it", on the other hand, is a very prevalent and dangerous view on Lemmy, and is more deserving of my time.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I suppose you would consider genocide denial harmless.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Aaaand now we're back to "obviously false stuff that I will proceed to ignore". Good talk.

[–] [email protected] -1 points 2 months ago

You said it yourself. You don't care about genocide deniers, but you get big mad that people might consider genocide anything less than a perfect outcome.
