1·2 months agoand my point is that it’s not going to change unless people attempt to change it
it’s literally the same argument that gets wheeled out any time there’s pressure for social change, then when things finally change we all look back in 10 years and ask ourselves how the hell we ever tolerated the old way of doing things
if you want to vote biden because you think the short term benefits of avoiding trump for another 4 years outweigh the long term drawbacks of further entrenching the same status quo that led to palestine, fine
just don’t pretend that you never had any choice in the matter
rome famously neglected diplomacy, but in either case once you get rid of the mental gymnastics your argument boils down to “it’s too hard so we shouldn’t try”
that’s the thing though, they don’t need to “get help to” palestine, they just need to stop actively supporting israel in its genocide
you think the appetite is going to be there for actually committing resources somewhere when they can’t even just do nothing?
in the us, if you’re arrested you need to be charged or released within a fixed period, usually up to 72 hours
tate was arrested in december, held for 3 months without being charged, was moved to house arrest, then was charged in june
Not really. In detail, maybe, but there will always be an excuse available to avoid committing US resources to any given genocide.
if you’re arrested in the us, you have to be charged or released within a specific timeframe
they can’t just detain you indefinitely for fun
palestine is a unique situation? buddy there’s literally three attempted genocides going on at the moment. it’s not unique by any stretch of the imagination
the math is pretty clear
for the immediate next election cycle, yes
for the next time there’s a palestine, very much no
an incumbent has literally never lost a primary
biden was always more or less guaranteed to be the democratic nominee if he wanted to be
historically “vote for us because we’re not them” is a very ineffective way of winning elections
continuing to vote for the mildly genocidal party is not going to make the mildly genocidal party less genocidal
why would you expect substantial change at any point if you re-elect a party after they spent a year propping up a genocide?
when tate was initially arrested he was held for months without being charged
i’m not defending tate he deserves to rot in prison
i’m saying that a government shouldn’t have the power to just dump you in prison without having a reason for it
when tate was initially arrested he was held for months without being charged
being absolutely fine with a system that allows that because in this instance it happened to fall onto a guy you don’t like is brain rot
you think the osu protestors that were just released without being charged would’ve been released at all without a law requiring them to be charged within 24 hours?
banning and deleting your multiple accounts troll accounts defending Tate
i have literally no idea what you’re talking about and it makes you sound unhinged
why would you assume a change of policy at all over any timescale if you keep electing people propping up a genocide?
you can talk around it with all the mental gymnastics you like, but ultimately voting for biden is a signal to the democratic party that their base doesn’t care about genocide enough to not vote for him, which is all they care about
i do find it slightly horrifying that in romania they can just decide to put you in prison indefinitely without having to prove you did anything
voting for a government that’s enabling a genocide is voting for that genocide to continue, no matter how you decide to answer on a poll
which is wild, because there’s clearly a lot of talent there that was just spunked up the wall trying to create a game that any idiot could see right from the outset was conceptually awful
