  • Good. His people are already really smart. I wish MY countrymen read.

  • Thanks, but they operate anonymously and I'm not certain authorities would care. They target "undesirables". Out and proud disabled or queer people. People too "weird" for society to care about, safe targets. All while chanting "total n***** death", "total removed death", things like that.

  • No.

  • I've been targeted by the Soyjak Party before, they attempted to dox me and get me killed. It was then I thought; imagine a whole nearby country ruled by such people, actually organized and targeting you? And far, far worse; the most powerful country in the world who helped fund the Nazis hostile to you as well? Compared to him, my fear was nothing.

  • Oh wow. Wonder what will come of this?

  • What's wrong with being a criminal in the face of unjust law? Slave rebels are criminals too.

  • Okay, that clears it up. I do indeed viscerally wish harm on a lot of Americans.

  • "The American ruling class is still American people."

    Then why not wish harm on the American ruling class?

  • Actually, I heard something much more dubious than him criticizing Lenin. Did he actually praise Mein Kampf? /gen

  • I don't see how that contradicts me. It did cause me introspection because lately I have indeed been feeling better about myself about how I'm right and most others around me are wrong according to objective data because otherwise I'd feel suicidal out of isolation. About how that attitude may not be productive to conversion after I had already tried for so long. What I object to is that tweets first sentence. "I wish no harm to the American ruling class". It's not something I'd think or utter in any circumstance. And as redsails remives the binary between people and the ruling class, so to can I remove the binary and say that the ruling class, in all their power, are still the ones maintaining and benefitting from this state of affairs. We don't exist in a vacuum. We're not biologically attuned to this. It's not mere human nature. We're a product of our material conditions.

    I'll say it again. I understand wanting to vent. But I'll say that not wishing harm on the American ruling class is totally absurd, even if you consider them synonymous with the people. Especially so. If it's some kind of joke then firgive me for not getting it. Or maybe I misinterpret what "American people" are.

  • I don't doubt it. A lot of Americans are smug jerks, including a lot of American communists I met. I don't blame them entirely; their ruling class keeps them divided and sapped of mental energy.

  • I understand venting frustration, but the American people are the way they are because of their ruling class.

  • Well, we're on good track then. Historically "did not vote" recieves more votes than any candidate.

  • That I made the right call voting third party and thus providing solidarity to others. But. Applying the trolley problem, I'm still not convinced Trump was worse than Kamala even if the choice was simply between the two.

  • I've been dehumanized here before by ableists. It's not perfect but I think it is getting better.

  • I'm trying to reassure myself and everyone else we made the correct decision even from a harm reduction perspective. Democrats have historically been more hawkish.

  • Hmm... I still don't think we should regret our decision not to vote for Harris. If I recall, the Democrats were wanting to attack Iran much sooner.
