Progressives acknowledging the fact of genocide is a good first step, and it’s useful that Ocasio-Cortez and others have done so — “I think [unconditional aid to Israel] enabled a genocide in Gaza,” she said in Munich — but it is not in and of itself sufficient. Before anyone in the party can move on to selling a post-Biden vision of human-rights-first foreign policy, they must address what accountability for the war criminals in the Biden administration — those who aided, armed, and funded genocide — should look like.
Oof… gonna go ahead and put those Iranian lives lost on your head as well, as well as all the people the inevitable war is going to kill. Nice job.
Please. Alleging your concern for Iranian lives only highlights your hypocrisy.
Do you know how fucking hard I have to try to be a pacifist? Do you know how fucking scared of myself I am? FUCK YOU
I’m confronting people wearing Trump shit at my JOB, in the middle of a RURAL TOWN IN A RED STATE FULL OF RACISTS. FUCK YOU. YOU WANNA DO SOMETHING USEFUL? OKAY, PASS SOME USEFUL INFO THEN?
I’m fucking disabled and gay. Fuck you. I’m TRYING.
You’re right, I totally don’t care about those Iranian lives! Totally! I’m totally not bothered by this administration! I’m totally not bothered by America, my home, being the cause of suffering for people all over the world. You’re right! I’m not angry with righteous fury over those named who ICE murdered! I don’t care that America killed little girls!
FUCK YOU. FUCK EVERY US PRESIDENT TO EVER HOLD THE OFFICE. FUCK AMERICAN IMPERIALISM. SO FUCKING DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT YOU PATHETIC PRICK. YOU SIT HERE, ACTING SMUG, WAITING FOR A REVOLUTION? YOU START IT, PUSSY. NOT GONNA START IT? THEN FUCKING DO SOMETHING, YOU ARE USELESS AND INEFFECTIVE. AT LEAST I’M TRYING. AT LEAST I’M ADVOCATING FOR SOMETHING. YOU ADVOCATE FOR NOTHING.
