#anti far right

[ultraericthered]

Almost gonna be 5 whole years since we heard it uttered.

I'm sorry, JJ Abrams. I won't be criticizing this line anymore.

How can I when I feel it in the depths of my soul?

Encountered a "Queers For Palestine" post on my dashboard 'cause it's pride month so of course I would, and I just...

You guys do realize that Hamas hates the whole lot of you and would put you to death if they saw you down there in Gaza? And so if we want to see things made better for queers in Palestine, the total destruction of Hamas and removal of such extreme far right islamic theocrats from power over Gaza would be the natural first step to it?

Just figured that should be every bit as important to the cause as supporting victims of the bombings, protesting against the reckless warfare on innocent civilians, and advocating for a ceasefire, thus every bit as clearly communicated as an objective for Palestine's future. Otherwise you end up like the "useful idiots" described here:

Late for the occasion, but it still satisfies me greatly!

GUILTY ON ALL 34 COUNTS

What I say:

What I mean:

[ultraericthered]

Hamas: Goes into Israel for a terror attack, commits worst mass slaughter of Jews since Nazi Germany's Holocaust where they rape several Israeli girls and women, abuse and/or kill elderly Israelis, take many from their homes as hostages, even gleefully butcher, burn, and behead children, infants even. They show off many of these atrocities on social media uploads and parade dead or abducted Israelis through the streets of Gaza to the cheers of their supporters.

Also Hamas: Builds their bases nearby or underneath essential work buildings used by civillians such as offices, schools, and hospitals so that their Israeli enemies would be hesitant to strike there or if they do strike, the loss of innocent life can be blamed entirely on Israel. Keep the streets of Gaza full of civillians, most of whom are literal children, and hide amongst them to use them as human shields, and when Israel threatens Gaza with air strikes and calls for mass civillian evacuations, Hamas sets up road blocks and commands the people to not evacuate from their homes. The warfare would cease if Hamas were to simply release all their hostages back to Israel, but they refuse to do so because they're intent on piling up as many dead bodies as it might take to delegitimize, destabilize, and destroy Israel.

Interesting

This means that people like J.K Rowling, Posie Parker and Andrew Tate can be classified as terrorists.

SIGNAL. BOOST.

Look.

I have made you a chart. A very simple chart.

People say "You have to draw the line somewhere, and Biden has crossed it-" and my response is "Trump has crossed way more lines than Biden".

These categories are based off of actual policy enacted by both of these men while they were in office.

If the ONLY LINE YOU CARE ABOUT is line 12, you have an incredible amount of privilege, AND YOU DO NOT CARE ABOUT PALESTINIANS. You obviously have nothing to fear from a Trump presidency, and you do not give a fuck if a ceasefire actually occurs. You are obviously fine if your queer, disabled, and marginalized loved ones are hurt. You clearly don't care about the status of American democracy, which Trump has openly stated he plans to destroy on day 1 he is in office.

Another Star Wars meme, now that the USA's a Nazi country.

finding out your white and white male friends voted for the ultra right hurts but most of all it angers you

it angers you because they're your friends, have been your friends for over a decade, you grew up with them, you thought you shared the same values and it fucking sucks when politics finally becomes a topic of conversation, because you're grown now, and find out you don't really know these people, and it angers you because you've shared so much with them, with people you now realise are the exact same as people you've always despised and spoken up against

finding out your white and white male friends voted for the ultra right hurts and most of all it angers you but you ultimately see how it was always there

but finding out your queer friends, your immigrant friends, you neurodivergent friends, your barely-lower-middle class friends voted for the ultra right? friends you've seen go through struggles and discrimination and lack of possibilities? that shit cuts you like a knife to the fucking heart because you don't get it, you don't understand how they could listen to people that outwardly, blatantly and unapologetically hate them for who they are and are outright fascists and go "that's who I'm voting for, that's who represents me"

you don't get it and it angers you, it really does, but most of all it saddens you, it saddens you because they're dooming not just everyone else but themselves, too, either because they don't know or they don't care, and you don't know which one is worse

To enjoy the misery of others, actively relish their suffering, and root for their complete collapse is normally against my character. It's behavior that is incompatible with my spirituality and my values.

So it really says something about what has happened in my country that I am very, very, very much anticipating getting to watch as the MAGA Party regime, the MAGA cult, their media enablers, and all of the traitorous fucks in this country who voted them back into power get swept up in a raging torrent of carnage, dysfunction, unease, unrest, poverty, violence, hurting, degradation and absolute flaming self-destruction next year as the consequences of their own actions.

The thing that separates me from them in that regard is that I can admit that's not right of me to do and also still have some pity for them. But then again, if ever any life claimed by the coming plague upon the nation is confirmed one of them, I won't shed a single tear.

Injecting this scene into everyone rn.

[ultraericthered]

Meet the new boss, same as the old boss. Or same-ish?

Like so many of us, I am still horrified by the election results from yesterday, and I fucking hate that the outcome did not go the way it ought to have because so many fuckwits in this damned, broken down husk of a nation on (yes really) both sides of the political aisle did not learn the lessons of history and allowed it to repeat itself.

I am distraught because this was the ultimate high stakes election that would decide the salvation of the American Experiment as it was concieved of and built upon by the founding fathers in 1776 and restored once by Abraham Lincoln and the Northern Union in 1865, or the damnation of the country as it breaks apart by choosing and accepting the instillation of a theocratic fascist dictatorship that wipes its ass with the Constitution, shits all over the fundamental ideals of American democracy, and rules in a way reminiscent of and even approved of by our enemies...and the damnation was fulfilled, the Neo Confederacy has won, the United States of America as we knew it exists no more. It's dead. We played Russian Roulette with our nation's future and got the bullet. We committed national suicide.

I am heartbroken because this was the one chance to determine the path forward and the shape that the later 2020s would take for not just the USA but the world at large. Our chance at a future where Trump and his MAGA Cult Party finally, after almost a decade, finally recedes as a force in our national politics, news, society, and the world around us. He's taken so much from us already, wrecked so many lives and relationships, and has got us all so damn tired of him. I was so hoping we could finally turn the page on him. "We're Not Going Back" and all that. And nope! The Trump As Hitler arc has been fulfilled and things with MAGA will get worse in the later 2020s before they can ever get better. The Cold Civil War goes on and on.

And most of all, I am disgusted because due to all this, Trump got exactly the win he wanted. Post-2020/Covid response Trump. Post-Januray 16 Trump. Post-felony indictiment and conviction Trump. After a series of political miscalculations and public humiliations, a rapidly accelerating mental decline, and the worst, most inept, most nakedly racist, sexist, xenophobic, angry, fascistic, pro-authoritarian, anti-democracy, psychopathically hateful and disdainful of the country campaign ever waged in politics, culminating with a literal Nazi Rally at Madison Square Garden, everything that should have been setting him up for a spectacular downfall...instead, he wins. Again. The misogynstic rapist swine is favored by voters over yet another infinitely more qualified woman that he's "put in her place" and denied us our first female President for a second time, he gets to reverse of the election outcome he kicked and screamed and whined and cried and betrayed our country and did a coup over just to reverse, and he gets to avoid being held legally accountable for his crimes. The charges will all go away, he never goes to prison. All thanks to a voting electorate more irreparably broken then we could've ever imagined. A fallen nation filled with minds that have been shattered by harsh realities, poisoned by propaganda, and so spoiled that they take their civil blessings and liberties as Americans for granted, souls that have been corroded and gone 99% defective. Donald Trump is America and America is Donald Trump.

However, there's a caveat here. None of us can look into the future to know for sure what it'll hold, not even the very near future. Times are uncertain once more and we're going to have to accept that. And on Trump's end, as nightmare inducing as the prospect of him and his sycophantic loyalist cronies at the levers of power once again and even worse than before may be, especially with Project 2025 as a thing, there are two beacons of hope shining in the face of this immeasurable darkness.

First is, like I said, history has repeated. We've seen this movie before. Trump has vendetta against a male Democratic President that he refuses to shut up about, he runs for President as a fascist, nativist, populist demagogue stoking the fears, rage, grievance, resentments and prejudices of a good chunk of the population that will go vote for him, and he wins the election against a female Democratic candidate in an upset victory, getting the win he desired and his revenge against the man he takes the keys to the Oval Office from....and then has to actually live in the White House, run the country, and do the job he'd bitched about the previous guy not doing well enough by his standards. And he sucks at it way, way, waaaaaay worse, having to deal with all the tough decisions and bad press and stresses of the job that previous Presidents took with more dignity and grace, except he whinges and whines like a little bitch about how nasty and unfair to him everyone and everything is. Swap out the name "Barrack Obama" for "Joe Biden" and the name "Hillary Clinton" for "Kamala Harris", and the series of events are identical. Everything that Trump has sent around, every bit of cruelty, hate, hurtfulness, negativity, toxicity and even violence is once again going to come back around on him, but this time, he won't be in the shoes of Barrack Obama this time - he's already landed right in the shoes of Joe Biden. He's 78 years old and people are already noticing his aging, increased physical frailty, weaker and hoarser voice, low energy, and regularly accelerating cognitive decline into dimentia. He's again going to be unable to live up to all the huge, wild promises he made on the campaign trail, which will be especially hurtful should he crash the economy, drive prices back up, and cause the very recession people were dooming about Biden causing. And most deliciously ironic of all, while so far not widespread and not yielding any drastic measures from the Left, there are conspiratorial rumors floating around about foul play done to rig and steal the 2024 election for Trump after Kamala Harris had ended up the narrow favorite to win just before it, much of it fueled by Trump's own words he said while running his big fat filthy mouth like "You don't have to vote, we've got all the votes we need" and talk about a "big secret" that he and Mike Johnson know and all his thanks and flattery to Elon Musk. The allegations are going to hound him starting now and into his presidency. He's going to have to face a nation with people who view his presidency as illegitimate and fraudulent, the same situation he made Joe Biden have to face. And now that he and his MAGA freak show cabal run the executive branch, his party got the Senate majority and a possible narrow House majority rettained, and he even has SCOTUS Justices on his side, this means there's no more Democratic leadership that they all can scapegoat for the country's problems. THEY are "the regime" now. Everyhing that will occur in the country starting next year will occur ON THEIR WATCH. They're holding the bag for everything now. And they're going to regret it.

Second is, and while this is an ironically darker shade of light, while we may have to brace ourselves to see inevitable divisions in this broken country not seen since the Civil War, this also means that local governments and state governments, namely in Blue and Purple States, will push back against federal overreach and fight back against the MAGA regime when they attempt their fascist shit. And should said fascist shit go truly beyond the pale, such as mass deportation raids for legal immigrants and attempts to mow down dissenters to the Far Right with the National Guard or military, there will be counterstrikes, protests, riots, and revolutionary action taken the likes of which this country has never known in ages. So long as good people still live, still stand, still fight in all the right positions, whether they be elected leaders or private citizens, evil won't prevail.

Also, let's be real, how likely is it that Trump even makes it through all 4 years? Whether a bullet fired at his face finally hit its target or he experiences terminal age and health complications, he could be done at a time none of us are ready for it. He's nowhere near the imposing titan in the prime of his life that most strongman dictators start as, and he is so easy to ridicule, now more than ever. So let's all show him what a big joke we think he, his regime, and his country are, and that we do not respect nor fear him. Let's all drive him even crazier and sadder and smaller and more stressed 'til he can't survive it!

All decent Americans out there, buckle up for the fight of our lives. The latter 2020s should be interesting times, but I can promise you that if we live together, fight together, support one another, and navigate our way through this with resilience, we'll make it through.

And, might I ask what wars in human history ever ceased because "enough people protested, boycotted, and whined on social media"? That is just straight up magical thinking on OP's part.

the fact that Israel can precisely target ONE apartment in an entire residential block in BEIRUT to kill two hamas leaders, proves once again that they CHOSE to carpet-bomb Gaza and murder 31.000 Palestinians to "defend themselves" against Hamas. Israel CHOSE to kill civilians, they CHOSE to bomb every hospital, every school, every refugee camp, every residential block. israel does NOTHING to spare the lives of palestinians, they want to thin out the population of gaza so they'd be able to settle their citizens there.

this is a genocide it's an ethnical cleansing PLEASE WAKE UP don't stop talking about Palestine it is not a trend, people are still dying, Israel has no plan to stop if WE don't force it to, through public pressure and protesting and boycotting. it's the least we can do.
