What Reddit has that lemmy doesn’t though is something called “nuance.” Which is how you end up with shit-tier posts like this one getting upvoted here.
For all the fault Reddit has, and there is a FUCKTONS of it, no one that I’ve seen on Reddit supports genocide- that is, unless you go to specific subreddits. But then again, there are specific communities here that also seem to support it.
So, no- What the problem is here- is that OP is notorious for accusing EVERYONE of supporting genocide if they so much as even slightly disagree with their bullshit. The mod logs speak for themselves in the event anyone wants to challenge this and accuse me of lying.
In fact, they were recently banned from a community for exactly that. They have a history of spreading misinformation and trolling.
Now, let’s see how accurate I was about that whole nuance thing.
User which consistently shows up to “nuance” Genocide shows up to “nuance” Genocide. more news at 11.
Thanks for proving my point. I couldn’t have scripted that better!
reddit knows you don’t like what it’s doing but reddit also knows you’re still on reddit
Is reddit considered a microblog?
No, it’s a link aggregator.

I know, he’s a fascist, that’s what they do. You claim to offer an alternative, not a lessened degree, even if history and current events proves that’s a fucking lie.
I’ll vote for the lesser evil, but I’ll be damned if I do it without calling it evil.
At least you’re fucking voting. The number of bad faith actors here arguing to protest vote or not vote is scary.
I’d wager many of them aren’t US citizens anyway.
You’re right, there’s clearly bad faith foreign actors all over here.
No genocide is actually a genocide until it is called a genocide, at which point it is the fault of the person calling it a genocide.
You can tell it’s true because of how it makes sense.
It’s not genocide unless it comes from the genocide region of France
the genocide region of France
These are just sparkling war crimes.
Goddamnit i dunno how I’ll ever use it but I’m stealing this
Ah yes, the idea that many people “support genocide”
You don’t like genocide, you say? Just wait till you hear about all the fun new things the Republicans have in store for us with Project 2025!
i’m thankfully not participating in this election, but one would argue voting for any candidate that supports genocide is a vote in support for genocide.
Pretty sure most people on the planet are not participating in the next usaian election, and we’re all in trouble for it. I’d vote PSL if I could.
In a first past the post system, like the US, not voting is the same as voting for whoever you hate more. If you hate them equally, then it’s the same as voting for both.
The next US president will support genocide. We get to pick between the one who supports it a lot vs a little. We get to pick which one we’d rather protest under.
The only way to be not complicit is to leave the country and renounce citizenship.
… rather protest under.
Nailed it. I’m stealing that, and there’s nothing you can do about it.
I wouldn’t protest your use, and since that phrase is mine now I can say that!
Jokes aside, this is exactly it. One option, you can protest it. The other, and you’re getting “a very rough hour, real rough”.
So… Yeah. Not voting is supporting more murders by the state, and I hope so many people realize they are being duped with their “non-voting protest” and actually go to the polls. Especially because the presidential election is not the only election that matters.
i don’t buy this “a lot vs a little” thing. its either genocide or its not. and if your voting system doesnt allow for an alternative, then its not a democracy anyway. sounds like a show to me.
i don’t buy this “a lot vs a little” thing
It’s reality whether you buy it or not. What a silly way of thinking.
The moral absolutist, black and white view of the world: as bad as any religious nut.
Not really. It’s a pretty easy choice when the options are to maintain genocide vs crank it up to 11.
…but yeah there’s a 3rd option I wish we had. The absence of ‘no genocide’ doesn’t imply the voter supports genocide, it just means the options are shit.
Oh so you’re equally happy with whatever winner? No preference whatsoever? Interesting to see that on an election with such wildly different candidates.
They’re a tankie, so they probably prefer trump.
i dont want any politician to pay me lip service, or announce, or call for shit. no use if all candidates end up pushing the same neoliberal, genocidal agenda.
You may want to clarify of you’re not participating because you can’t or because you won’t. Because if you can’t for some reason that’s fine, and if you won’t I have a few choice words for you.
Because the vast majority of people vote because they want genocide. Flawless logic.
A non-vote is a vote for Trump, a third-party vote under the current US voting system is a vote for Trump.
I hope you enjoy your Trump vote!
I love when people have such good faith. Good talk.
These are the people who would have still voted for Hitler (did ya’ll know he was elected?) because his policies were better than Himmler. Can’t argue with that level of liberal.
Wait… what? Are you trying to say that liberals would vote for Hitler?
