I’m sorry you’re unable to defend a single point without resorting to contrived scenarios where every option except the one you want is unbelievably stupid or cartoonishly evil

Condescension is bad enough when you’re an expert, but when you think yourself the only smart person because you’re not as dumb as the dumbest people on earth, it’s just laughable.

I can understand your point just fine and I struggle to see why the analogy is needed except to distort the truth into some fantasy world where getting killed by a gun and getting killed by a knife are just such an obvious choice, because one is shit and the other is an artisanal brownie or whatever you’re pretending this is.

Less genocide, but not the stopping of genocide? Man, do I not feel sorry for gringos when they act like this is a moral choice.

How would you know, anyway? They refused to acknowledge there was a genocide in the first place while they sent a record amount of money and weapons. Oh wow, such harm reduction.

Yes, it’s exactly like this dumb, unnecessary analogy! Just that they didn’t tell you the ice cream parlor is at the bottom of the cliff anyway.

Maybe stop with the dumb fucking analogies and talk about the real situation for a change. It’s not too complex to talk about (and if it is to you, holy fuck, maybe shut up and do some reading first?) and you’re fooling nobody with your deflections.

You’re not supposed to talk about the real world, idiot, I specifically provided a scenario where you’d rather die than eat ice cream 🙄 I stg sometimes I feel like only I understand politics smh my head

It’s not that the analogy is incomprehensible, it’s that it’s reductive and disingenuous to the point of being nonsense, like every lib analogy.

Y’all refuse to talk about reality as it is because in the few cases where you actually know anything about the situation, you can’t make a decent argument for your position without infantilizing the fuck out of the entire thing. It’s all “who’s Voldemort in this scenario?” and “which party is the sour kid who doesnt share their toys?”. It’s fucking embarrassing.

The New York primaries where the entire democrat establishment is either not mentioning Mamdani or pretending he’ll make jewish babies into sausage then sell them in government stores after they gulag all the landlords? Those primaries?

The democrats have repeatedly blocked even mildly progressive voices from running, even rigging the 2020 election in favor of Biden because they were scared shitless of milquetoast Sanders. They might let a few slip in local elections, but never the big one.

They’d rather let the party lose (because their biggest donors aren’t paying them to win, they’re paying them to stay close enough to the GOP in platform and voters)

So you’re not responsible for the people you vote for, but non-voters are responsible for Trump?

Y’all are fucking children

The rich will control more and more and it will never stop […] You are not going to overthrow them. You’re just gonna waste your life trying.

Smells like psyop in here.

In short: organize and arm yourselves. The Dems won’t save you because that ain’t how they make their money.

Also, I’m installing a bigger motor so you have a reason not to vote for the other party, because they’d get to go even faster

other people in the world absolutely were using the term American to refer to citizens of the US before the 1900s.

I mean, a few, I imagine. There’s always been people saying shit wrong. Would help your case if you actually had a source and not just a vibe to refute an evidence based position.

By population, however, most of the world isn’t the anglosphere. Spanish speakers, which is most of America, by and large call you “Estadunidenses” whenever it’s not “gringo”. A good chunk of us also speak English and object to gringos colonizing “america” much like Indonesians or Indians or Malaysians probably would have if Japan decided it was “Asia”.

You might not have decided that we speak English, but the same government that made it a necessity for us in the global south to learn the language is the one that decided to steal that term. Language matters.
