• I’m like 50% sure you’re trolling me here. Was there something specific in the comment I referenced that didn’t make sense? Or did you not read it?

    There’s no moral victory in what I posted. I’m trying to call attention to these useless attacks that disregard Palestinians.

    And I only see one person mentioning not to participate in elections, unless somehow people I’ve blocked are allowed to comment or something?

      I read your comments and watched the video. This isn’t my first time watching this video.

      I’m trying to call attention to these useless attacks that disregard Palestinians.

      The attacks, your argument refers to, are against accelerationism. Not everyone is going to use that term, but it’s clear based on the statement that is what they are referring to. Gaza was the single issue accelerationists focused on. The accelerationists and this meme are disregarding the Palestinians.

      The commenter’s message and the video’s message are the same. We need to leverage power to help minorities. Arguing against that message is more accelerationism.

        He’ll yea let’s call people unwilling to vote for someone who won’t stop the genocide accelerationists! Bad faith holier-than-thou bullshit like this is why so many people hate liberals, and will get absolutely zero support for democrats while turning a lot of people away. I’m saying as a Harris voter, it’s an asshole move to call Muslims and immigrants who refuse to vote for a president who will almost certainly do nothing but bad to them be their people “accelerationists” just bc someone else will do worse

          People are claiming to be accelerationists, arguing that accelerationism is the answer to fascism, making pro-accelerationism memes. The memes have been in the lemmy.world politics community but the rhetoric can be found in political discussions all over lemmy. I would say it’s commonplace at this point.

          Their one issue was pretending to care about the Palestinians. After recent discussions I’ve had today and yesterday, it seems more obvious than ever that accelerationists don’t care about anything but being the most morally pure person in the room.

          Have you seriously not seen anything related to that? Having the self-evident political discourse on lemmy pointed out to you is really the straw that broke your back on hating the libs?

          it’s an asshole move to call Muslims and immigrants

          Are you kidding? It’s mostly white people as far as I can tell. The Palestinians and Muslims I’ve heard from urged people to vote for Harris. Accelerationism seems to require a privileged mindset so a person can turn a blind eye to the actual plight of minorities.
