  • You cut off my sentence. Here’s the full quote.

    Their original comment absolutely did not imply they thought that it was only MAGAheads who were ok with Israel killing USAmericans, on the same level that you implied they thought that.

    Whether or not there was an implication at all is subjective. I don’t think that criticism of one party should be understood to be at the exclusion of another party, but whether or not that implication is there at all is up to you. I think making those sorts of inferences makes it very difficult to have any discussion about politics when criticising some group is meant as condoning another group; in that case any political statement would have to be very long to list all the groups it applies to.

    But I didn’t say that it wasn’t implied at all; I said it wasn’t implied at the same level. Your reply to the original comment would make no sense if you didn’t believe that they only thought MAGA supporters were ok with Israel killing USAmericans. There’s far more ambiguity in the original comment, and I don’t believe it automatically lends itself to your interpretation (which was proven wrong by that commenter saying they don’t believe such a thing), but in any case it is absolutely not the same level of implication as your comment.






  • Can I point to where I said you said that explicitly? I can point to where I said you said it implicitly though. (emphasis mine)

    You comment strongly implied that you thought Maple Engineer thought this was a MAGA-specific phenomenon.

    You also more or less said it explicitly though, if you want to go down that route. I can’t quote a specific part of your comment because your entire comment is based on this suggestion. (emphasis mine again)

    You say that like MAGA are the only ones that don’t care about Israel killing Americans. Were you even aware that it happened under Biden?






  • I think this is just irresponsible to say; the liberation of the working class is the job of the worker alone. I can’t go into detail on Lemmy for obvious reasons, but actually existing resistance networks of working class people do deal with and help each other with things like house raids. If you are at the point where you’re receiving this kind of state repression, you will also be well connected enough to get the support you need. I get my house raided occasionally, my comrades get raided semi-frequently, we all deal with it and live with it just like every other revolutionary throughout history who has stood up to an oppressive state and seen capital with its mask off.
