Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

Your point?
Their point is to look at 2 years of Holocaust that they ran interference for and, instead of reacting with the appropriate horror and fury, instead be smug to protect their blue team in the sport of political theatre. One glance at their profile shows they've been doing this the entire time. They're a genocide defender.
Nice assumptions. You never rail against those currently in power to make a change.
First of all, it's not an assumption, I can read your posting history.
Secondly, speaking of assumptions, I'm not even an American you myopic dipshit.
And in all likelyhood, I've been actually organising and campaigning for longer than you've been alive or 'voting' your way to change. Over three decades against war, against unjust laws in my country, against fascists in the streets, shutting down American weapons factories, blocking American air force bases and intelligence gathering stations, I've been arrested, friends have gone to prison, I've worked with refugees at home who were displaced by your Democrat's wars and been to refugee camps in places like Lebanon.
So keep jerking yourself off while voting for your personal choice Pepsi/Coke brand of fascism, while attacking anyone who actually does things, by all means. But no one here owes you the benefit of the doubt, the time of day, or to entertain your pathetic, vacuous Reddit posturing. Certainly not me.
Cool. Not that I believe your self promotion. If you really read my history you'd see that I never excused any leader from the decisions they made. You'll see more people like you who jump to conclusions about my beliefs when I ask questions like I did here. I see the current US administration as extremely dangerous and all previous administrations as irrelevant. But for some reason people don't bother attacking the problem in front of them and would rather complain about the past.
Word salad. Fuck off.
No legitimate response?
That is a legitimate response to what you said. I'm not as long as this other person in organizing and working but I do a fair amount of on the ground organizing. And it's a fucking shit load of work. And it requires a ton of patience and broken heartedness. So when we hear from piss babies claiming that we're not serious because we didn't vote for your genocide supporter, there's nothing to say except ppb, good luck.
You didn't address anything I said. Why complain about Obama or Hoover or George fucking Washington when a significant tragedy is unfolding right now. Of course we can learn from the mistakes of the past, but ignoring the present is being complicit. Good on you for organizing, patience, and all the work in helping others. Volunteer work is a grind especially when politicians could do so much so easily with the stroke of a pen. Those in power NOW need to hear your message.
You don't really deserve a legitimate response to "let's just ignore history"
You don't deserve a response for "let's just ignore the present".
