Yeah but nobody is saying genocide isn’t always bad. They may try to pretend it’s not genocide. Or that it would be genocide with trump too. Just not what the meme suggests
People being cagey about language that discourages turnout is not the same as condoning genocide, if anything it’s being paranoid about the genocide coming here too.
Yeah I get that. It just looks real fucking bad how a lot of people seem more bothered about “discouraging turnout” than the actual genocide going on. Despite not being American I do care about the outcome, but not as much as what is happening right now.
being paranoid about the genocide coming here too.
Lol imagine if you didn’t have to “be paranoid” because it was actually happening. Obviously Americans should care about American politics but this is the most privileged take given the situation
Telling a Palestinian they’re privileged because they don’t want a genocide against their people to spread to the diaspora too because a buncha white kids “I’M HELPING!”-ed a slate of fascists into power is definitely a fucking take.
So are you saying if Trump gets into power the genocide will spread to the Palestinian diaspora in the US too? I really think the actual thing which is actually happening deserves criticism right now. Talking about these theoretical outcomes if (theoretically) enough people vote for the fascist convicted felon does not take away from the current reality of what Biden is doing.
This is an argument for the voting booth. I agree with you there. But I think the point of the meme is that these conversations get bogged down in this shit immediately.
I don’t care that you’re Palestinian. Perhaps privileged was a bit much but this take is really just a misdirection, and it doesn’t help the Palestinians that are actually dying right now.
“Supporting genocide bad”
Leads to…
“Oh sweet summer child let me explain the broken American political system to you…”
The next Israel thread you see, go point out how Biden is a piece of shit for supporting a genocide and see what happens

Yeah ok fair point. I guess that was what the “it’s complicated” is going for? Otherwise yeah the meme is just silly
