  • He forgot the tagline to actually affecting American exceptionalism as a goal:

    "Speak softly and carry a big stick"

    Doing this bombastic stuff just makes him / the government look weak.

    Note that I'm not subscribing to American exceptionalism, but describing past efforts to achieve / demonstrate it.

  • As discussed above, conditions will only worsen in Palestine.

    Not taking the most realistic action to avoid another trump term is by far the greatest harm.

    Suggesting the Dems should be torn down in 2023 or 2024, without a meaningful, competitive replacement is garbage.

    People can't hold 2 thoughts at once apparently: "A is bad, but B is worse".

    Of course a striking worker isn't privledge, they are standing on the line and could easily be retaliated against.

  • You hope to bring about a new party with zero plan candidate or substance and in turn got additional people hurt.

    Accelerationists are dreaming of a survivor fantasy where their perceived position or privledge will keep them or their family alive through the downfall, transition, and reconstruction of what's next. Who's to say what's next isn't 10x worse? You can't.

    Not caring about buying time is a privileged position, one that for example afghan refugees who had flights to the US this week and beyond sure would like a bit more of. Oh, whoops, the democrats needed to be taught a lesson so I guess it's ok that they are abandoned now.

    It's all good and well to talk theory, but in real life harm reduction is actually helping people.

  • Of course there is. A genocide could be worsened by increasing the rate or killing, the tools available, the loss of global consequences, etc. "Turbo" is used as an offhand way to indicate faster/more/worse.

    Conversely slowing a genocide allows more time for people to escape, more time for global interventions, peace talks, etc.

    There will be condos on their homes now

  • I'll admit my leading question was facetious.

    My point is that an action was taken against democrats on the topic of Gaza, and yet, the crisis and genocide continue. It was obvious this would happen if trump won, plus a slew of other impacts on at risk people around the world, beyond the admittedly unsatisfactory status quo of the Biden admin. So what societal good was done by not helping keep trump out?
