  • To build on that, I think it’s because “we” actively challenged and continued to grow our understanding to better fit the values held as a liberal. To us, the path out of liberalism is clear if you’re willing to really hold true to values like freedom for all and a sensible form of governance.

    The contractions are everywhere, and instead of doing anything to show they do sincerely believe what they say, they make excuses or expend no effort to try and make their beliefs a reality. They’d rather blame everyone to their left and right after doing their one act to effect change, voting, than challenge themselves and their institutions.

    Ultimately I think having someone who pretends to care about the same things as you be such obstinate shitheads is much more bothersome than someone who doesn’t. Stolen valor or something




  • I don’t want people to stop protesting, but I also don’t necessarily want comrades arrested for this.

    If it felt like there was a snowball’s chance, then I’m all for putting yourself on the line to extract concessions. Currently it feels like almost the entire US political machine is riding on the “kill a ton of people trolley” and barely registering what all the bumps are. They couldn’t care less and will not change based on what we do so catching a charge for this doesn’t seem worth the non-existent squeeze.

    I understand Palestinians feel supported by protest actions and reiterate my support for those, I’m only pointing out where it might be right to draw the line.

    Very open to changing my mind on this though, I want to believe we can actually have an impact and not just show solidarity
