I really do feel like I’m taking crazy pills with libs this election. The last two they at least had a bloodless rationale to the “lesser of two evils” rhetoric.
But this is genocide, the canonical Worst Thing You Can DO! I know many just believe that it’s not a genocide at all because Palestinian civilians are all Hamas and just subhuman or that the videos published by official IOF channels are all deepfaked by the hungry ghost of Nasrallah. But then just FUCKING SAY IT and then we can call you a genocide denier and we’ll know where we stand!
What I can’t get is that many do seem to agree it’s a genocide and Kamala is complicit. But then they lesser evil by going “Well if we don’t vote then Trump will do bad things to trans people here.”
Like Fuck You! You scheming, gaslighting bloody handed monster!
Either this is just a disingenuous argument to get your team in power or to maintain liberal civility politics, in which case double Fuck You that you think people are abstract political tools.
Or, you actually believe this, and the freedom of an LGBT person here outweighs the lives of 2 million people, many LGBT, who happen to have had the extreme misfortune to be born 5 cm over the border and thus outside your ability to feel empathy.
In which case Triple Fuck You, because you are, somehow, more of a fascist than Trump. At least Trump is too incoherent to make a complete argument for fascist policy!
I’m going mad, I really am. How can people be streamed genocide live on CNN and just say “well, I guess we’re ok with genocide now!” Is the US public even human?! Even the fucking Germans had the good sense to pretend to look guilty after they lost.
Nah, this is facts. I have days all the goddamn time these days where I could rip out my emotional core, some self-kali-maaaa type shit because I’m sick of waking up furious that I still live in a system of genocidal white supremacy. I’m sick of waking up furious that I don’t have enough savings to pay the exit tax to renounce because cost-of-living just keeps going up and it’s eaten through my nest egg. I’m sick of waking up furious knowing that someone else infinitely more disadvantaged than me died screaming because cracker warhawks and their tapdancing minstrels decided they just HAD to give another billion dollars worth of materiel and ordnance to an illegitimate settler colony that everyone just acts like has the right to exist because of the scribblings of a bunch of ancient theologians who can’t even prove the evidence of their divinity.
Like, if all it takes is a book, the Black nation could settle everything from Compton to Portland as our own, send all the crackers back to the eastern seaboard, and bombard anyone who disagrees with it, right? Right? What’s stopping us, if that’s all it takes?
I’m sick of waking up feeling like this-- and then I remember that there’s really some yankee peckerwood sitting back in his computer chair with the smuggest look on his face, right now, and he feels fucking nothing. He is a homunculus, a ghoul, a wretch beyond even the most wretched of the earth still chained by the Great Satan.
And it settles in my gut: I want to be nothing like that fucking homunculus that would dare to consider himself and I as part of the same demonym.
I really am not looking forward to the change that comes on the back of this level of anger, frustration, and alienation, but while I can’t fully relate to you, I’m with you in the spirit of, “there’s basically nothing of this society that shouldn’t be torn down and annihilated”
Whatever is coming will be really fucking ugly and deserved, I won’t raise a hand to stop it even if i’m outside of it, unless it’s on the backs of a bunch of white fascists, then i’ll die fighting it I guess.
I’m sick of being desperate. I’m sick of watching loved and desperate people fall down to be crushed underfoot. Meanwhile I’ve got the dumbest people in the world telling me a ballot will fix this.
