I don’t know why I’m surprised they don’t but I really expected that maybe this time they would care even a tiny bit.

Like they kinda sorta cared a little bit about healthcare for a minute and that blew over, and then they kinda sorta cared about minority rights for longer than I expected so that was cool but these issues are actually kind of historically complex and difficult to solve so I wasn’t too surprised when libs just… fucking forgot. Climate change, me too, student loan debt…all sorta kinda complex in certain ways.

But genocide is so simple. It’s probably the least complicated issue that libs have ever had to confront. Bombs go out children go boom it cannot be less complicated.

And yet here we are with libs across America hand wringing about how well it’s maybe not genocide and maybe it’s somehow complicated and maybe we should talk about it after we defeat Trump who we’re SURE will do this complicated thing we can’t quite understand worse somehow.

I guess if genocide staring libs in the actual face isn’t enough to get them to care a tiny itty bitty bit about maybe trying to do something good for once…is there anything that possibly could? I can’t imagine much worse of a thing than literal genocide. Maybe libs are just wholly incapable of using their brains or their hearts in any capacity at all.

And if that’s the case is there any hope at all? I know there is but man this moment watching this election and everyone cheering wholeheartedly for as much genocide as they possibly can might be one of the most hopeless I’ve ever felt

    “The Kingdom of Conscience will be exactly as it is now. Moralists don’t really have beliefs. Sometimes they stumble on one, like on a child’s toy left on the carpet. The toy must be put away immediately. And the child reprimanded. Centrism isn’t change – not even incremental change. It is control. Over yourself and the world. Exercise it. Look up at the sky, at the dark shapes of Coalition airships hanging there. Ask yourself: is there something sinister in moralism? And then answer: no. God is in his heaven. Everything is normal on Earth.”

    Social Democracy is objectively the moderate wing of fascism. Liberal Democracy in decline is simple fascism. Don’t let the lanyards and sober language fool you. A Salazar is as fascist as a Hitler

    The KPD took a decade of watching the SPD shoot workers dead in the street over and over again to realise this. I pray we realise it sooner.
