    Agree but there’s some commenters here that are so deep in the ml accelerationist sauce I wouldn’t be surprised. They’ve literally replied that they hope the US falls to ruin and whatever violence happens is a fever killing a virus.

      As a mod, I’ve seen this too much.

      Not saying all, but many green party people advocating for Harris’ defeat. As much as they may hope, Jill Stein was never a viable option, so who were they rallying for?

      Those are the same people I never heard advocate for green party at local, county, state, or other federal office positions.

      A few - like 3-5 people - were militant enough, I can believe it COULD be (not saying it was) a leftist.

        If someone is only active in rabble rousing and not in supporting any affirmative ideas or actions around solutions to problems, then I tend to have a bit of suspicion that we’re simply dealing with a rabble rouser, and not someone interested in any actual improvements. It doesn’t really matter, to a rabble rouser, what the rousing is towards, since chaos is the goal. Any nebulous direction works, so long as the push is towards chaos.

        If your goal is to watch the world burn, you do need an excuse for that. You can’t just be like “well, I like the idea of collapse, suffering and death. don’t you? c’mon, it’ll be fun.”

        Most leftists have actual policy discussions, proposals, specifics that they’d like to see implemented. They’ll actually applaud movement in a positive direction. Not all, though.

        This is going to be a “no true Scotsman” statement, but when a “leftist” loves authoritarianism so much that they find themselves advocating and cheering for the furthest right of the only two possible outcomes, I disagree that they are leftists. Especially so when they are also huge fans of state capitalist nations that produce hundreds of billionaires.

        Yeah this is definitely coming from the people who say voting doesn’t matter if you support the uniparty of war, and not the Alex Jones supporters who think mail-in ballots are a vector for fraud.

        Being a mod definitely hasn’t poisoned your brain, and is a very legitimate qualification.

          Personal attack. Guess you haven’t read the rules. I’m not removing this, but other mods may.

          It does make me more qualified. As a mod, I see some shit. Things you don’t have to.

                    Rather than talk about history you won’t read or show you myriad examples of things like Ukrainians bombing concerts, here are screenshots of Maxim Zhorin executing Ukrainian school teachers in cold blood before editing it 30 minutes later to claim the video was taken by Russians. The full video the soldiers have Ukrainian arm bands. There is a clumsily edited version that circulated later but the Ukrainian armband is still visible beneath in it. There are hundreds of videos of Ukrainian Nazi marches, the video of them burning down the Odessa trade union building is in full on youtube unedited, every day it seems a western paper prints a picture of a Ukrainian fighter with a patch referencing an obscure branch of the SS. You have seen it, you just want to pretend.

                    Wren you already said you were stalking my profile, that doesn’t jive with “not a single word of [my] nonsense”, you have a very whimsical train of thought, you little rogue.

                I’m jeering at you for being proud of being an internet moderator, you are whining about how I failed to read rules that don’t truly exist, try to keep up. You were getting it just a minute ago.

                  Aww. You think you matter to me. I’ll forget you in a couple minutes. You’ll still be mad.
