What use does anyone have talking to hasbara scum who says "Yeah, those ethnicities get unequal rights, but . . ."? You have an unserious position based on zionist chauvinism and are willing to use obfuscation and sleight-of-hand to try to sway people toward it. If there was even a single soul other than myself reading this, I could probably get myself to go through it point by point (even though it would involve the odious task of defending Japan), but I don't see anyone around to write such a thing for, so I only keep writing to you because I am very compulsive in that regard.

I found the smartest hasbara-spewer.

The leftmost in an array of rightwing parties, anyway

There might be some relation between those two 🤔

I'm not going to waste my time with disingenuous hasbara scum like you. If anyone else sees these comments and wants me to way in, I will happily do it then, but anyone who is even familiar with Apartheid South Africa, much less Israel's sordid history, sees that your arguments are flimsy excuses and just as obfuscatory as the point I was originally responding to.

If you think that’s not true maybe you should get at least one Jewish friend and ask their opinion.

Fuck you, I have multiple Jewish friends and associates, and not a single one of them is a zionist shitbag like yourself. I did used to know some zionist Jews, and they were racist landlords. It's disgusting that you cover for genocide with their names.

I am begging, just begging, that, if you believe so strongly in your smol bean Apartheid, you go join the IDF and eat a rocket. The world will be better for it.

I don't think they used it right (and they're a Spanish speaker, see the little tag?) but the verb they used is a valid English verb.

Your heart is in the right place, but relying on what Wikipedia calls a fallacy and on implicit "natural rights" both undermine your argument severely. Your fourth paragraph is far and away the most valuable one.

Try getting GarbageShootAlt2 to criticise the republican party. You’ll find the conversation quickly turns to how awful the democratic party is. It’ll tale a long time, but it will ALWAYS come back to that.

That wasn't "now let me criticize Trump. Whoops! Kamala-posting!" That was me answering why communists are so keen to criticize democrats, while also explaining that they do criticize Republicans. That entails covering both subjects, so you're just attacking me for answering a question as though it was a completely different prompt.

dismissive

God forbid I be dismissive to someone going on rants about how his enemies are secret agents. You literally just don't understand how people communicate and turned it into a conspiracy theory.

You think republicans aren’t all over your instance lying to convince folks like you to not vote democratic? That’s naive. That’s really naive.

You think Republicans bother with a few thousand nobodies on a niche platform? That's self-important. That's really self-important.

You probably think putin is a communist!

You're a fucking idiot with no ability to understand other people's interiorities. No communist believes this.

Only some useful idiot neoliberals do, and even among them it is rare.

Edit: I disagree with the removal, but I won't lose sleep over it. You were, it must be stressed, accusing someone of being a secret Republic operator with your "evidence" being them saying "cope" to you once.

Do you think this little, uh, play is a productive way of communicating? I gave you a serious answer

the official presidential candidate with the most openly pro-worker policies I can remember

I have a bridge to sell you

Putting pressure on her. If she wants to win, she needs to pivot on Palestine. If she chooses not to, she is choosing for Trump to win rather than for Palestine to stop being genocided. It is her job to get votes if democracy actually exists in this country, not the job of the people to vote for her.

This does have the very real potential consequence of Trump winning, neither I nor anyone else here as hesitated to say that. However, Trump does not represent a totalizing threat like I described in my last comment. He toys with fascist rhetoric, but he is in no way a serious fascist the way someone like Ron DeSantis or Tom Cotton is. My interest is in creating a serious left opposition prior to them being the Republican frontrunners, because this "wait until next election, now wait until next election" is just a stalling tactic to prevent the left from making any progress with the Democrats move further and further right, taking up old Republican policies like Trump's old immigration policy.

I don't think you understand; I'm not joking. If you legitimately see such ridiculous conspiracies that easily and then fervently hold on to them, accusing the people who disagree with you of being in on it, you should see a psychiatrist (or tell the current one about this dynamic). I don't know what it is or what more you should do about it, that's for a professional to figure out. Obviously I don't think you'll listen to me on that, I'm just trying to convey my earnestness.

I feel more comfortable making fun of people who -- while sometimes probably mentally ill the same degree that I am -- are able to talk about a common reality. Making fun of foolishness is enjoyable, making fun of illness is cruel.

Try getting linkerbaan to criticise trump. You’ll find the conversation quickly turns to how awful Harris is.

This part I'll touch on because it's a common misconception among liberals like yourself, especially on .world. We communists don't spend an especially large portion of our time criticizing Trump because what is wrong with Trump is obvious, not because we secretly like him. We do still criticize him though and have threads on a daily basis (headlines allowing) talking about what a dumb chauvinist he is. This account is an alt for my Hexbear account, so I can mainly speak to that one. If you go to that website and search for threads on Trump, you'll find plenty and they generally are filled with people making some combination of serious criticisms along with more frivolous ones about how the dumb shit he says is less funny than it used to be (like remember when he quoted "Two Corinthians" in front of some Christian university to try to pander to evangelicals? I was laughing for a week).

But aside from when some new story is especially heinous (like immigrants "eating pets") and where it's entertaining, Communists tend to find it more important to criticize Democrats not because they are worse but because they require more calling out. It's like what Malcolm X said about the Wolf and the Fox, where the Wolf bares its teeth at you and you know immediately what your relationship to it is, but the Fox shows its teeth as a smile, as though it is trying to befriend you. Most people understand the Wolf (though some unfortunately still support it), many people misunderstand the Fox.

I don't care which neoliberal party wins one specific presidential election. I don't think on alarmist timelines where every successive election is The Most Important Election of Our Lifetime and carries a totalizing importance that makes all the rest of the future a footnote. What I care more about are the substantive elements of party platforms and how those platforms change, and if one of them can change at all, it's the Democrats.
