not only that, but it's also incredibly important to run those progressive and socialist candidates at the local level to build up the reliable electoral constituencies, to then consolidate and employ as the base for higher tiers of office.

without the base, the peak of the mountain crumbles

you're right, ICE is lying.

however, unfortunately, the gestapo also didn't have a very good track record of doing things honestly

it doesn't really matter anymore whether we have the rights - they're just words, and the only real, existing power is violent force, which ICE has more than enough of

have you considered testing gravity's efficacy yourself? let's see what other people say happened - did gravity cause you bodily harm, or did you jump off a roof?

maybe you should go to the moon, if you wanna double down on that statement. you can even stay up there, too. we'd be better off for it.

you know, i really wish i knew a better way to explain to you how multiple factors can affect decisions in how to conduct a genocide and how chalking everything up to logistical convenience is shortsighted and ignorant, but i can't think of any way to get through to you.

have the day you deserve.

i think it's somewhat disingenuous to presume that the only reason they centered their infrastructure in occupied territory was purely for logistical reasons.

i highly doubt that if it had been convenient to put a camp right outside munich, they would've done it vs putting it in occupied territory

a debate? no, of course not, i disagree with that take. are you calling this a debate? i wouldn't call this a debate, and i'm sure MANY people would agree with me

historical ethnic cleansing has had a fairly long, consistent trend of deporting to-be-exterminated populations away from the core of the imperial hegemon and killing them there

auschwitz wasn't just convenient, it was out of sight and out of mind. it was detached, dehumanized. that's the point.
May 12, 2025 at 9:13 PM
man, you really are just straight up incapable of seeing the clear signs between historical genocide and the beginnings of ongoing attempts at ethnic cleansing. let me guess, you also don't think that palestinians are being ethnically cleansed? how about the armenian genocide, that sound familiar?
May 12, 2025 at 8:58 PM
ok but what if i was just mistaken in my beliefs when i first concocted the argument, realized i was wrong during the debate, but decided to commit to the bit out of love for the game?
May 12, 2025 at 8:55 PM
well, that and because they'd be rather unsightly if they were in germany, hitler couldn't risk tainting his precious little ethnostate with reminders of his horrors. just like how trump is deporting "undesirables" to foreign prisons

different shit from different asses, yet the shit smells the same
May 12, 2025 at 8:49 PM
whole lotta non-polish jews ended up at auschwitz, though. just like how a whole lotta non-salvadorans are ending up in el salvador. funny how that works, isn't it?

almost sounds like you're trying to pretend that what trump's doing is justified somehow. which isn't a great look.

not voting out of protest is different from not voting out of apathy. they look the same if you lack critical analysis skills, but they have different solutions.

the former is a form of non-tactical voting, and also wouldn't have made harris win. the latter is turnout. kindly learn the difference

i might not be quebecois (sorry to hear btw gotta be one of my least-favorite disabilities), but i am lebanese, so i do understand french.

you want me to respond in arabic? maybe spanish, since i know that too? a bit of german?

get over yourself
May 12, 2025 at 3:15 AM
land doesn't vote, and considering they didn't win, i'd call the notion of a con win being "surefire" laughable.

but by all means, continue

canada's voter demographics make it so that the odds of enough GOP-oriented cons being in power to sell out canada to the US are basically negligible.

you have more than enough wiggle room to push the envelope. you're just comfortably complacent.

as said, i envy your comfort, but don't share in it
May 11, 2025 at 10:48 PM
liberalism is still right-wing. you think a liberal government is some grand revolutionary win? you're still slaving away for penny wages, trapped under the billionaires' boots, building up the bourgeois system they profit from.

all that effort and for what? an extra morsel to chew on, nothing more
May 11, 2025 at 10:29 PM
really, my social media follower? that's who you think i'm organizing?

i'm involved in three different local/national organizing groups. that's what i'm working with.

i envy your position of comfort, but we're up against the wall here. voting won't work anymore. we only have one option left: fire
May 11, 2025 at 6:56 PM
really? that's your takeaway? take a good look at reality and realize that ALL people will resist their extinction, and the ONLY way to not be met with that resistance is to not commit genocide

you're deplorable. please grow and change as a person

ALL people have a right to life, not just israelis
May 11, 2025 at 6:44 PM
yea i'm lebanese so i unfortunately have far too much experience defending my people's existence from the actions of israel lmao
May 11, 2025 at 5:43 PM
that is an issue in turnout, nit tactical voting. don't move the goalposts. turnout is a completely different issue to tactical voting.
May 11, 2025 at 5:38 PM
even within israeli jewish society, white jews are treated better than brown or black jews. so yes, it has EVERYTHING to do with the fact that israel is a white settler colonial ethnostate
