I'm fed up with Lemmy constantly contradicting itself when talking about US politics

Yeah that's why I go to R*ddit where everyone is a fucking liberal and all discussion is mediated through the capitalist lens of profitability /s

• voting is useless and ineffective

True

• voting was useful and effective for Trump getting into office

False. Voting merely decorates what the bourgeoisie has planned for us.

• most Americans hate trump

Only cosmetically. AmeriKKKan settlers have zero problem with settler colonialism.

• most Americans voted for Trump (well ok no but we're also counting the people who didn't vote as voting for Trump)

Nope, the plurality of AmeriKKKans voted for nobody.

• Americans should do something!

Yes, they should do something valuable.

• The Americans doing something aren't doing it right, they should do a violence!

Not necessarily, just not another do-nothing milquetoast liberal protest. Mutual aid need not be violent. But yeah, we're probably gonna need violence to defend ourselves against the capitalists and their evil agenda.

• Americans are so violent omg

Only against the vulnerable, never against the powerful.

• Americans should do a general strike!

Yeah, would be nice.

• does not talk about or signal boost the general strike

Point taken.

• All Americans deserve what's happening to them!

Not literally, no. But settler AmeriKKKans (myself included!) are way too fucking complicit with this evil system. Anything is acceptable as long as the treats keep coming. Even Epstein shit, apparently.

• Oh no these poor Americans getting shot and kidnapped!

Yeah it sucks.

• other countries should do something!

Yeah they should.

• it's America's mess they should be the one who clean it up!

Failure of one party to meet their responsibilities does not, in general, absolve other parties from their responsibilities.

• the opposition should be united!

Hell no! We gotta have standards! E.g., no fucking Zionists, no fucking Nazis, no fucking conservatives, no racists, no LGBTphobes, no sexists. All these groups can do the world a favor by dying or choosing to be someone else.

• fuck Democrats, liberals, and anyone who isn't my specific level of left, no compromise for getting anyone into office!

Fuck getting into office, I want to light the office on fucking fire.

• vote the Republicans out!

Nah I'm not a fucking liberal. Wall for the lot of them. Their role in the Gaza genocide alone is enough cause. 🧱🤯🔫👿🏴

• but fuck Democrats don't vote for them!

Still not a fucking liberal. Wall for the lot of them. Their role in the Gaza genocide alone is enough cause.
🧱🤯🔫👿🏴

• but also fuck third party voting is useless anyway!

Still not a fucking liberal.

• This is Donald Trump's fault!

Nah, Trump's a figurehead for what the capitalists want to do to us.

• actually we're going to blame Democrats though

Like, I get that it's different people, but I never see anyone calling this out. I think the worst is people who say we should be united and then actively do things to divide people.

Well I definitely want to divide our the Nazis, Zionists, and other monsters from... fucking every facet of life.

It's this seriously the best we can do? It just feels like people can't get their shit together. I'm tired of my own side being more willing to fight each other than the GOP.

If you're an adult and still a fucking liberal then I'm done waiting for you to catch up.

You need to make the effort to reject capitalism. If you make that effort, I have literally infinite patience for you to grow and learn how to navigate the horrible world you've been born into. But if you refuse to do that, then you're a class traitor, and I have negatively infinite patience for class traitors (against the proletariat).
