I’m more referring to the open racism and racial violence that started to show up during the previous administration, and was alarmingly ignored. It stands to reason that if they’re given a second chance, such events would further escalate. Which is what Biden is referring to. Racists generally try to do violence anonymously. They’d likely stop feeling the need to continue trying to be anonymous if they didn’t fear consequences.
Ah yes the veritable core of liberal thought, the extermination of brown people. It’s a shame the left can’t find anything else to talk about, like health care for all, taxing the rich, curbing pollution and anthropomorphic anthropogenic runaway global heating etc. etc. Nope, it’s just kill kill kill.
You do not have to like it or support it, but the option you are presenting gives you no control.
If you want to sit out in the rain and complain about the rain, that’s your lookout. I will take the action that is most likely to possibly lead to less genocide.
By that I mean voting in people who are at least pretending to listen to my desires. Even if in the short term it doesn’t solve the problem.
Genocide isn’t the weather. It’s being done by people and that means we can fucking stop it.
You have to speak out if you want genocide to stop or it will never end. Israel will kill and kill until all 2.2 million people in Gaza are exterminated, and in the meantime they’re going to start fucking World War Three and drag us down with them.
You’ve completely given up on changing anything until next year, haven’t you? Holy shit.
What you’re doing is the same as the weather. “I hate this! I will become ungovernable until someone fixes this! Blah blah whine!”
What do you propose then? Because aside from direct action that is dubiously legal, I am doing what I can. I await your genius plan to stop what’s happening in Gaza. I’m sure you’ll have it any day now.
Edit: unless this is your plan. I wish you luck with “be surly on lemmy.”
It’s the strategy of contention. Being “ungovernable” pressures the government, there’s a toolbox of available mechanisms for doing this and one of those tools is your voice! You need to speak out at every opportunity and make it very clear that you oppose the genocide. It costs you nothing besides your internet points.
Don’t doubt that politics of contention are half the reason Biden was forced out of the race! People opposed him as the nominee and donors knew this, so they pressured him to drop out. Granted, they claim the only reason was because he was too old (and he is) but don’t doubt that the uncommitted movement helped to push him out of the race.
Direct action gets the goods, but it’s not the only thing you can do. You can always always raise your voice in opposition.
You aren’t going to help Trump by attacking Biden. It’s okay.
Ok, and it’ll be genocide here and there under Trump. Until you can provide a solution, stop whinging about the choices that are forced on us.
Please enlighten my unamerican ass, what Genocides did trump do on US soil in his first term? (Asked snarkily but a sincere question)

Ah, and there it finally is.
Liberals advocating for genocide, again.

anthropomorphicanthropogenic runaway global heating etc. etc. Nope, it’s just kill kill kill.anthropogenic
Thanks, I always put the wrong one down. As a former Anthropologist, it’s embarrassing.
I’m glad my acronym (ARGH) still works!
I’m a dick for pointing out the mistake, really.
You should put a /s at the end, the moron you are replying to probably doesn’t understand your sarcasm.
I feel like starting a comment with “ah yes” does the same thing, but you’re probably right.
You’d think, I’ve been reading this thread and the replies of that idiot, and they seem to have the comprehension skills of a 2 year old. 😂
Silence is support and I am not a genocide supporter. The least you could do is fucking speak out.
Biden isn’t even running for president. How the fuck does it matter if I point out he’s an evil piece of shit?

So, be surly on Lemmy. Good luck!
Don’t worry, they’ll be cheerleading fascism everywhere they can on here.
You’re right, no one should post anything on the internet.
I’m not right. But you will get far more traction if you post more than “lol Adolph Biden lol.”
That’s not discussion or helpful. We are aware.
Him, most other world leaders, most of the populace, etc etc. Under your definition nearly everyone is an evil piece of shit. /Shrug
Here I am preparing dinner instead of stopping dictators from committing genocide… I guess Im also evil then… 🤷🏻♂️
Oh you! 😏
