Nonjoking answer, join a socialist org

I mean they’re run federally, ICE is a federal agency

It doesn’t take a lot to go from concentration camps to extermination camps, historically speaking, and the US does have concentration camps for migrants and refugees.

While I agree that Republicans are fascists, isn’t that kind of whataboutism? We aren’t talking about Republicans, we are talking about democrat policy that is more likely to be used on BLM or pro-palestine protestors than some Trump supporters.

Ze protestors are destabilizing our glorious empire, ze must be dealt with harshly for ze peace and stability of ze greater reich! /s

Yes, zwe must defend ze thousand year reich at all costs! Finally someone has ze courage to say it! /sarcasm

It is literally more likely for a socialist revolution to happen in the US than for us to use STV enough to choose the president that way.

The fact that your trans refugee friends continue to suffer is deplorable, but does not mean lgbt don’t have more rights now.

Trans people are experiencing low key genocide but we also have more rights now?

Things are better for some people and still desperately need to improve for many others.

Things are desperately worse for some people and have improved slightly for others.

Genocide of trans people > gay marriage on the impact on the queer community

Literally just target the root cause of the problems, capitalism. All these problems don’t exist in a vacuum.

Affordable Care Act, LGBTQ rights, marijuana reform…not to mention a Black man was president, and a Black woman is the party nominee.

Oh do lgbt people have more rights now? Oh fuck, I’ll let my trans refugee friends know.

I know people who have small children and are still involved in socialist organizing.

Fascism is caused by systemic political and economic factors- basically when capitalist psuedo democracy runs out of runway and the capitalists choose to preserve capitalism over the concessions of bourgeois democracy.

If you care about democracy you have to join a socialist org and fight for socialism.

This you?

Do you often make up fantasies about strangers on the internet that you lose arguments to?

That is what your little middle school demonstration of informal logical fallacies are though, you’re substituting arguments for “um actually fallacy” like it is some checkmate that dismisses everything people are saying.

Notice how you went for an “um actually I didn’t technically say those words” instead of responding to this:

You’re straight up doing it though, like, your nuanced bullshit around Israeli settlers and indigenous Palestinians.

Genocide isn’t morally complicated, and the fact that you’re debate broing about it defensively when people say shit that is just objectively correct, like, “Israel is a settler colonial state commiting genocide” is a real indication that maybe you should step back for five minutes and check in with yourself.

You’re straight up doing it though, like, your nuanced bullshit around Israeli settlers and indigenous Palestinians.

Consider that you have to keep declaring victory because you’re aware on some level that you’re wrong on this.

You’d say “its nuanced” about colonizers killing indigenous tribes and the indigenous tribes fighting back.

A 1000 year Middle East conflict “isn’t a complex issue”?

Israel as a settler colonial entity is around 100 years old. Before that, Christians, Muslims, and Jews lived in the same area with very little sectarian violence for around 800 years.

Killing is different than winning. For example, the nazis killed 26 million Soviets, mostly civilians. That is roughly 17 percent of their population. The US killed something like 20 percent of the population of Korea. Both lost.

She could say “most effective” but she said “most lethal”

Good point, thanks for the criticism

I’m not in a swing state and I already vote every year. Stop trying to convince me and go attend a dsa meeting or something

Okay so you’re not willing to do anything unless you, through your personal actions, can stop an entire genocide? Or are you trying to make a different point?
