If all it takes to qualify as "Holier than Thou" is criticizing choices that people make then sure, Tippy is Holier Than Though to everyone.
Obviously it's not. It's the whole attitude: insisting the only reason people could vote a different way is that they simply don't care as much as you about genocide. It's arrogant and moralistic, and makes zero effort to comprehend the other person's actual thought process. That's what makes it holier-than-thou.
I mean...yeah, if the shoe fits. It's hard to believe that people voting for Harris, who has specifically stated she agreed with everything Biden did in the past and will make sure Israel will always have the weapons it needs to "Defend Itself" care that much about the Genocide. Harris made it CRYSTAL CLEAR that she had no intention of putting up any kind of real resistance towards Israel genociding an entire people.
Yeah, we've heard all of this, i know this is what you think. But then don't go and pretend you're only throwing hands when others do it to you, or that you're only denigrating people who tell you you must vote a certain way. You're not.
It wouldn't have, it would've stopped a dictator from rising to power in one of the most powerful countries in the world. If you can't understand what this means for the people who would be most affected by this you really have some blinders on.
Yeah, who exactly claimed this?
When has he said this? You guys just make up shit Trump says. And then it doesn't even matter if Trump says what you want to hear because then you all just say he's lying.
If you're feeling attacked by me when I lash out against The Pro-Genocide Candidate, then sure, I guess I'm denigrating everyone, not just people who keep coming to me in this thread saying that I have to vote for The Lesser Evil who had decided Genocide counts as a Lesser Evil.
I have said, repeatedly and often, that I understand why people voted Harris. I just wish these people would show me the same courtesy when I say I refuse to vote for the Pro-Genocide candidate.
No, not "lashing out against the pro-genocide candidate", i couldn't care less about that (and frequently criticise her myself).
And also shown, repeatedly and often, that that's a fib.
I mean, there are plenty of options for people to do. I do think that not voting or voting Harris are the wrong options but I understand why people would do them.
Surely for that to be true, the Democrats would have to realise that supporting genocide has hurt their political position, and move away from it? I don't expect them to stop supporting Israel, win or lose, or stop going right on other issues. As such, a vote for them while committing genocide isn't going to encourage them to become worse, they'll do that anyway.
Referencing to the other thread, but in any case there’s really not much of Gaza left to even finish off so it really remains to be seen. Highly doubtful anyone these days would go so far as to round up the millions of remaining Palestinians to be sent to extermination camps, I’d hope.
I'd not be so hopeful the killing stops because they got most of them already. Unless they can move on to Lebanon, say, but that would cost them more.
And ultimately by using an iPhone and iPad you accept that the Uyghurs are expenable in your need for the internet and gaming. And this isn't meant as an attack, it's meant as a cold hard fact that we are all complicit in this system. Though just because you are doesn't mean you can't still raise a stink and and try to fight back against it. Just as anyone who voted Democrat can't still protest the Palestinian genocide. However, from your activity in this thread so far I'm getting the impression you do mean it as a attack. You can say 'I understand why people voted for Harris' all you want, but if you follow this up almost immediately with 'you're accepting Palestinians are expendable' it's difficult not to see it as an attack. So stop acting like you're a cut above, and lording a superior sense of justice over people who are already at their wits end with what lays in wait for them for the 4 years.
How many people in this forum have been saying this?
Trump isn't a dictator...
Fixed that for ya.
Bast almighty, get the hell over this. Nobody is calling you these things for "not stepping in line". They're calling you these things because you're smearing them.
So first of sure maybe, like I said I've come in here rather late and keeping track of internet feuds is beyond the scope of my time. But also, you have to realize that you're atleast partially to blame too, right? Like, no one had called you out or anything when you went and dropped this,
Not even in response to anyone, you just went and hit 'Send All'.Happy "Choose which color the trolly is" Day to all those who celebrate!
By someone who also posted this the same week,
But I've said my piece, and sorry if this has felt like a go at you. It has always come from a place of trying to help, which may have felt condescending so my bad there.
