      The Joe Biden legacy is literal genocide. What kind of insane person do you have to be to not be happy about this? This is objectively awesome.

        You don’t have to be insane to not be happy about this. I believe in ‘harm reduction’, which is to say: If joe biden were still president, i would probably not be upset if some medical condition removed him from the presidency, because then he could no longer actively do harm from his position of power.

        But now? He has almost no active power or influence over anything. His suffering doesn’t benefit me or reverse any previous harms he’s caused.

            What is the purpose of punishment? To reform behavior? Or to make you feel better?

            You can claim justice, but in this case, that’s just making you feel better. You want to hurt someone because they hurt others. That’s how we’ve had never-ending wars. We as a species need to grow past this

              Do you think the Nuremberg trials were bad too?

              Using “pacisim” to excuse a genocidal maniac who has expressed zero regret for his actions. What a joke. I am glad Hitler died and I am glad Joe Biden is dying.

              The world will grow past these war criminals and their genocide mindset.

                You’re making assumptions. Fuck no. What’s happening is Gaza is some of the stupidest ape-brain shit we’ve ever done. So chill out, my dude.

                But this lust for vengeance is how Israel and Hamas continued escalating shit. Not a rational brain anywhere in that mess. “They hurt people, so I want to hurt them” is moronic. “They hurt people, so how do I stop them” is how we should be thinking.

                  Hamas has not continued anything. Israel is the only party which refuses to accept a peaceful resolution. Hamas has accepted a two state solution since 2017. Israel refuses it.

                  It is telling that you are trying to do a both sides on a genocide while feeling bad for its perpetrators.

                    Hamas is not innocent. Get this revisionist history out of here.

                    If you’re too stupid to understand what the other person is talking about then no one can help you. Chicken or the egg, dumbass.

          That’s the neat part, it is! It’s front and center for Biden because it’s here and now, and more people have a personal connection to Israel and Palestine than other genocides.

          Biden was part of all of the warmongering as well. He was a primary pusher for the Iraq invasion. Even before his presidency Biden was a massive piece of shit.

          But during his presidency he facilitated a straight clear genocide. Anyone empathizing with Biden is an awful person.

          If Bush gets cancer tomorrow I am cheering too.

              It’s very telling how you people equate not wanting to cheer for an old man dying of cancer with approving of genocide.

                No there is a different between " I don’t want to cheer for Biden having cancer" and " don’t cheer for Biden having cancer" the second statement is approving genocide, the first is not.

                Person directly responsible for a genocide in a concentration camp = “old man”.

                I interpret your comment as one of the most extreme form of racism and basically admitting that you do not see Palestinians as human. Because if you did you would not feel a shred of empathy for the people responsible for their suffering.

      Either post on reddit and get a mix of Nazis and Russian bots.

      Or post on Lemmy and get dumb fucks that idolize Russia or China and don’t even understand what communism is they just know it’s “cool” to be against capitalism.

      Also never vote, but simultaneously blame the Democrats for everything.

        China is a capitalist country, Russia is a capitalist country, America is a capitalist country, and right now the United States is committing a genocide in Gaza, because Americans have been conditioned to not care about Muslim people. Yet at the same time, our government is working with arab countries that are oppressive (with kings) and are known to have human rights abuses. Also, play the part in 9/11. You smell like new born babe. I like the confidence but you seem confused. The United States uses some of its allies to coordinate and commit terrorist acts. The United States uses some of its allies to coordinate and commit terrorist acts. If you’re a serious person, you know this. The world is capitalistic and the wealth is consolidated at the top. There is not much money in the public sector and because the United States affects the world economically, the rest of the world is thrown into turmoil. There is a new economic system called BRICS. It’s challenging the petrol dollar. Basically, we’re approaching the beginning of the end. And pretty soon, they’re going to start using tactical nukes, which are low yield. COVID-19 was a biological weapon. Your government lies to you at every opportunity. You are nothing but cattle. Just to give you some, I don’t know, perspective you could read about Edward Bernays. Also, look up imperialism. Also, you could learn about hegemony. Oh child, you have so much to learn. Oh yeah, maybe you should learn about Alan Dulles. During World War II, we financed the Nazis. Then, towards the end of the war, we used the Catholic Church, who was complicit and also had fascist elements inside of it, to traffic, German scientist, to Argentina, and South America, and the United States, in which they worked on our rocket program to compete against the Soviet Union. these human trafficking pathways were called rat lines. The Book of History never closes and it’s just constant war. That’s all we do is war. And if there’s any innovation out there, most likely it’s going to be turned into a weapon or it came from the research from the military industrial complex because we don’t invest any real meaningful capital in anything other than learning how to kill women and children more efficiently. People like you just live in denial. But I mean, if we were friends in real life, I’d be busting out books, articles, all trusted sources. This isn’t some QAnon nonsense. This is real fucking life. I mean, if communism is a good idea or a bad idea, it’s still understandable that the kids of today are just kind of sick and tired of this bullshit exponential madness of capitalism. Populism is on the rise because this is what happens with capitalism in crisis. Fascist are the useful idiots of empire and America is an imperialist empire. I mean, you could say, oh, this is some kind of byproduct, oooooor it’s by design. And if you watch the cash flow and the money markets, you understand why things are the way they are. This is clearly intentional. And then why don’t you look into BlackRock? It’s just a labyrinth and we’re all walking into the trap as we argue with each other and it’s just generation after generation of just lazy thinking. Each generation in this country live less meaningful lives. Meh, pearls before swine

          Bro take your meds and calm down. This type of post is just exhausting. Everyone down votes when they get tired of the rapid fire of factoids and can’t finish a third of what you’ve written.

          You’re clearly very passionate, so I thought I’d offer you a bit of friendly advice. Not about the content of what you wrote, that’s a whole different conversation, but about how you’re saying it.

          What you’ve posted is a textbook example of something called the fallacy of verbosity. That’s when someone overwhelms the reader with so much information, so many accusations, claims, and ideas, rapid-fire and without evidence, that it feels like you’re trying to convince through sheer volume rather than reason. It’s not persuasive. It’s exhausting.

          You’re not giving people a chance to digest or respond to a single thought before you’re already three topics down the road. It doesn’t feel like a conversation, it feels like a rant. And that’s likely why you’re getting downvoted. Honestly, I doubt many people are even reading it all the way through. It’s not necessarily that they’re rejecting your worldview (though some might), but the way it’s presented comes across as incoherent, aggressive, and conspiratorial.

          To someone who already agrees with you, maybe this kind of intensity resonates. But to anyone outside that bubble, even someone trying to listen with an open mind, it reads like shouting in a crowded room. No paragraph breaks, no sources, no structure… just a flood of unverified claims, many of which sound reckless or even dangerous without context.

          If your goal is to actually reach people, to get them thinking, to change minds, you’ve got to meet them where they are. Speak with clarity, not chaos. Choose a point. Back it up. Invite discussion, not submission.

          Right now, you’re not inviting anyone in. You’re just pushing people away.

          I’ve seen people saying they don’t want to buy a Quest VR headset because Facebook supported the Uyghur genocide (reasonable) and then name PICO as an alternative despite it being owned by ByteDance which is tied to the Chinese government.

          Yeah, people don’t think. They just repeat the popular thing.

            Please cite a source. As far as I’ve heard, despite several investigations by Congress, there has never been any evidence that Byte dance has any ties to the Chinese government. The only premise they could come up with the try to separate TikTok was that they are a Chinese company and subject to the totalitarian rule of China’s government.

        Get these Democrats off this fucking platform. The libturds have taken over everything. I don’t expect you to be a tanky or some kind of vegan anarchist, but it’s just… This is a place for smart people, okay… You don’t deserve your down votes.
