you do t know anything about my identity, and I’m not naive at all: I know what fascism is. its capitulating to the military industrial complex and jailing or killing anyone who threatens the states power.
I don’t presume to know. I am only saying we can’t assume anyone is actually acting in their own rational self interest since we know people so often do not. Anita Hill is no exception.
I think the issue here is you didn’t actually voice any of your concerns until much later in the conversation. The equivalent of “Lol Biden bad” isn’t very helpful or bound to be well received unless either the content being commented informs the statement or you care to explain yourself.
i think the issue is the personal attacks that persist against anyone who dares challenge the orthodoxy. i think a civil discussion could have been had, with no need for name-calling, or poisoning the well about the age of my account or teh topics that interest me.
That’s understandable, I agree with your point. We DO get a ton of trolls on new accounts fomenting trouble for kicks, but people ought to hold themselves to a higher standard and at least wait for trolls to prove themselves to be trolls instead of acting on assumptions.
That was quite the read. However, why don’t you give us your take on the events and why this is seemingly all Biden’s fault. I don’t want to make any assumptions.
Oh, I didn’t know Joe Biden packed the court with fashy theocrats. I thought it was Trump, and these fashy theocrats just waited until Trump lost to make Joe Biden look bad by undermining his governance.
tell any story you like. the story I know has Biden in DC for 50 years, even serving on the judiciary committee. I hold him at least partly responsible for Trump’s election in 2016, and will blame him for in 2024, too. he laid the groundwork for fascism to flourish.
You’re blaming Biden in particular for Thomas and Trump? He’s not blameless for confirming Clarence. Though, of course, he is one of many responsible there and a conservative judge like Clarence was a forgone conclusion under the Bush 1 administration. And I can’t imagine how you justify blaming Biden for Trump’s first presidency. Because he didn’t run for president in 2016? Because he was a part of the Obama administration that led to the Trump administration? Either way, his responsibility is so marginal as to be confusing to even consider him culpable.
There’s plenty to be dissatisfied or angry about with Biden that are directly and primarily or solely his fault. So why are you singling him out for those two things that are barely his responsibility at all, if at all?
he’s asking for my vote. his supporters are demanding my vote. i’m not singling him out, he is a part of the zeitgeist, and due criticism til he leaves it.

he spent 50 years shaping the political landscape. the rise of fascism didn’t happen because donald trump ran for president. his run was made possible by the rising fascism.
this is what Joe Biden gives us
It’s not even an issue for her.
ANITA HILL VOTED FOR BIDEN.
But for you? I’m sure Biden also stubbed your toe.
some people don’t know what is in their own interest.
So the sore-loser wannabe dictator is the answer? We are between a rock and a fascist place. I vote rock.
from my perspective it’s two fascists. i’m not voting for either of them.
So young and naive. Unfortunately your opportunity to influence the process was in the primary.
you do t know anything about my identity, and I’m not naive at all: I know what fascism is. its capitulating to the military industrial complex and jailing or killing anyone who threatens the states power.
Well then I guess the choice in your mind is:
I know what my choice would be. If you are in a battle ground state please vote.
he’s not trying to do the opposite, he’s trying to keep himself in power.
And yet you accuse Anita Hill, someone you know nothing about, that she’s voting against her own interests and didn’t know what she wants.
The hypocrisy and stupidity is strong with this one.
I’m saying she may not know. it’s not an accusation.
Your identity is apparent in your naivety.
Good job kiddo. What other words have you looked up today?
your condescension is inappropriate
the wise man bowed his head solemnly and spoke: “theres actually zero difference between good & bad things. you imbecile. you fucking moron”
that’s not what anyone here said
And what, right now, is in our own interest?
I don’t presume to know. I am only saying we can’t assume anyone is actually acting in their own rational self interest since we know people so often do not. Anita Hill is no exception.
I’m sure I don’t need to point out the irony here, right?
I do want to point out that if no one can be trusted to act in their own self-interest, who then should act on their behalf?
you don’t seem to be very good at handling nuance, and i don’t feel qualified to help you understand this.
on Lemmy for a single day, proceeds to only post biden whataboutism bullshit. gtfo troll
calling me names doesn’t change whether my concerns are legitimate
