From a mod:
Israel has been committing war crimes in Gaza, the West Bank, Lebanon and Syria for DECADES before Biden and Harris held political office. They are not to blame here, Israel is. Bibi is. Their crimes will continue regardless of support from the US or who is President.
Blame the actual perpetrators, not those you imagine are involved via six degrees of separation.
critical thinking is officially banned on .world
I saw an exchange yesterday where a lib was insisting the US is responsible for Israel’s genocide in the same way that Sweden is responsible for the Columbine shooting because the gun used was manufactured there.
That exchange actually broke me
Yup, it was in the ‘progressive politics’ comm, which is moderated by TokenBoomer who seems to have similar politics to Linkerbann. I’ve actually never been around so many libs just barely hanging on to the edge like this, I’m more familiar with reddit where there isn’t even the pretext of being progressive.
These people are so desperate to hold onto their benevolent self-identity that they will literally say anything to affirm their status in both camps. I have to imagine they are having a quiet crisis of identity behind their phone screen, otherwise I simply cannot fathom how they can be so politically incoherent
I mean, would be a pretty apt comparison if the Columbine shooters mailed the government of Sweden “we intend to do this thing, please give us guns to do it” and the government of Sweden personally gave them the guns.
So basically the same thing as the gun being manufactured there i guess /s
