No, I’m not simping for NATO and genocide. I already explained why voting for no preference supports more genocide. You just didn’t pay attention. It’s your signature move.

Yes, I do. This land belongs to the indigenous people, not to King Charles. I want to abolish the dictatorship.

Did you not pay attention to the part of the conversation where I said I’m not American? You’re really bad at paying attention.

yet again validating the legitimacy of the bourgeoisie’s little shell game they call elections

Can you please explain by what causal mechanism low voter turnout on the left makes the US electoral system weaker? I’m confused because the Republicans have been scheming to reduce voter turnout on the left by making it harder for black and poor people to vote. Republicans want you to do exactly what you’re doing. So please explain how doing exactly what the government wants makes the government weaker.

EDIT: 4 hours and you can’t explain it, because it’s not true. You’re full of shit.

It’s Germany 1937, and you’re telling me that Göring isn’t perfect, but he’s the best Nazi we’ve got, instead of just opposing the entire system for its inhumanity

If it were 1937 and I were in Germany, I’d be in a concentration camp because I’m trans. I don’t think I’m going to be submitting any ballots from there. But if by some miracle the Nazis set up a voting booth in Auschwitz, I would cast my vote for Göring in between fashioning a lump of broken brick into a shiv with which to stab the first Nazi bastard I get my hands on.

You seem to think that ballots are made of nitroglycerin and that Biden is stuffing his votes into bombs for Israel to drop on Gaza. I assure you, the number of votes cast in the Federal election does not affect the US military’s munitions capacity.

war against Russia which is more or less existential one for Russia

No, it’s not existential for Russia. Russia is invading Ukraine. They have the option of just going home. Their existence is not under threat.

Same for Palestinian genocide which is worst ever, even worse than nakba

We’re having a conversation about Biden as compared to Trump. Trump would be giving more military aid to Israel and listening to the people less.

They provoke China both directly and through their proxies

Again, Trump has more

You’re trying to have a conversation about whether Biden is a terrible person in a vacuum. And you’re right. But you’re also not actually participating in this conversation about whether Biden should be supported in a 2024 election against Trump.

No, that’s not my logic. You’ve misunderstood my logic and replaced it with your own. You think that voting is an act of condoning and you’re applying that to this situation. But I’ve been very clear that I think abstinence is a vote, and that you’re voting for Palestinians to be killed by Trump, who will not be as easy to sway with public opinion as Biden. You’ve fundamentally failed to have any cognitive empathy and to step outside your own pre-existing ideas. Therefore you think I must surely agree with your opinions that I am arguing against. This is nonsense thinking

You can’t claim empathy and then accuse someone of liberalism in the same breath. It’s a two-faced attempt to give off the appearance of peace while provoking the enemy to aggression, which manipulates public perception. For my part, I will not abuse people’s perceptions, I will be honest. You’re a liberal fascist apologiser and you’re trying to get people killed.

You’re constructing a false dichotomy between supporting electoralism and not voting. And you’re conflating voting with supporting electoralism. I don’t support the US, I don’t support Biden in any single tiny way that can harm socialists or socialism, and my partner’s vote does not make the US electoral system stronger. There’s nothing I’ve said which in any way helps capitalist false democracy maintain power. You’re inventing false positions and false actions to attribute to me.

I’ve seen no evidence that Biden intends to escalate the war on Ukraine beyond the local area, nor that he intends war with China. As you agreed, the international community has no better view of Trump than Biden, so I don’t expect a Biden victory in the election to cause China to declare war. What I have seen is that Biden has begun responding to pressure to reduce the supply of arms to Israel.

As for Russian fuel, I have no reason to disbelieve you when you say Biden has increased the carbon cost of transporting fuel. However he has also increased the price of fuel, creating greater incentives for Europe to quickly adopt electric vehicles and public transit. America and Russia are both polluting capitalist empires. I am happy there is less reason to buy fuel from both of them. The situation in Germany isn’t a result of the war, it’s caused by the decommission of nuclear plants without a renewable replacement. That’s a problem in its own right, but it’s not Biden’s fault. You’re mixing up US election results with unrelated things.

My partner and I are anarchists who participate in direct action. We’re doing everything we can the other 1460 days of the quadyear. We’re not having a conversation about those 1460 days. We’re having a conversation about the 1 other day. The day when the only choices on the ballot are “fascist”, “neoliberal”, and “no preference”. You don’t get to write a fourth thing on the ballot, the electoral system is a machine and it will interpret your actions within defined parameters. You either pick a defined parameter or the machine picks for you.

Now, you dodged the question last time because it made you uncomfortable to give a straight answer, so I’m going to ask it again: will the machine interpret your actions as doing nothing to prevent my partner’s death? Will you choose that outcome in the name of ideals?

If Biden wins the primary, then you’re not on the side of not murdering trans people at all, because that’s not on the ballot. You’re on the side of doing nothing in the name of ideals. So I want to ask: will you choose to let my partner die by doing nothing in the name of ideals?

So, you’re advocating accelerationism. The idea that a push towards fascism and reactionary politics will provoke revolution. A philosophy often inspired by Marx’s dialectical materialism, which claims that communism is the inevitable result of capitalist crisis. The thing is, in Marx’s time it was reasonable to assume that capitalism was incapable of ending human life on earth. Now we know twice over that it can, and once over that unabated it will. Accelerationism is fundamentally a philosophy of waiting for things to get better on their own. We don’t have that luxury anymore. We’re out of time to prevent climate collapse, and mitigating it has to start right now. Accelerationism only makes the deadline shorter, giving us less to work with. Who cares if capitalism eventually collapses under its own weight, if it brings all of us with it?

I’m not convinced he accelerated world war 3. The news I’ve read on international relations says the rest of the world hates Trump just as much if not more. That aligns with my own personal experiences, everyone in my country is surprised Trump hasn’t been shot yet. As for doing nothing for trans people? Good. Obviously I’d prefer something good, but doing nothing is better than doing something bad. When we’re talking about the primaries, I’m with Bernie all the way. When we’re talking about the election, I’m with whoever is going to murder all the trans people the slowest. I have a partner over there I’m trying to get out. I need more time to be able to pay for everything.

A Biden presidency would delay the holocaust of trans people in America by 4 years and give refugees more time to escape

Some cops might help others as a hobby when they’re not busy, but that’s not what they’re paid for. Cops are paid primarily to enforce bourgeois property rights and maintain the government, which in much of the English speaking world is a monarchy and/or a colony. Cops are soldiers in a war against the people.

No, it’s the autism version. Nerds aren’t an oppressed class.

Ridiculous. They played Quartz Parchment Shears, as Ra intended.

I really hope this means house prices will crash

The tourists are renting cars because your city isn’t walkable and there’s not enough public transit. If you added extra lanes for the tourists, then the locals would see all the empty lanes in winter and move deeper into the suburbs and drive more. Eventually the roads would be full in winter, and jammed in summer again. You need to build a train line to the airport and trams in the metro area.
