#we're doing an evil campaign and yes it was justified

[thereallifecath]

"You say a lot of vulnerable people would be devastated under Trump rule as if no one is being devastated now." yeah, like the people getting poisoned by contaminated foods as a result of food safety regulations overturned by trump, and the kids in springfield ohio whose schools keep getting bomb threats because of racist comments made by trump, and the people suffering from long covid because the response team to pandemic threats was dismantled in 2018 by trump, and the people suffering in gaza because israel was emboldened by the american embassy being moved to jerusalem and jerusalem being declared the capitol of israel by trump, and women being denied medical care because roe v wade was overturned by the supreme court members put in place by trump.

did it never occur to you that the impact of a president on our country doesn't end as soon as they leave office? it's a lot easier for a president to do lasting damage than it is for the following president to fix it. America is still STILL suffering because of the actions of reagan, who left office 35 years ago and has been dead for 20 of them. And we're absolutely still suffering because of the last time trump made it into office and will be for a long time to come.

It is so ignorant to use the current suffering of Americans as an justification to increase and prolong our suffering by advocating against voting with your nonsense about how it doesn't matter both sides are basically. Truly spoken like someone from a country where voting is mandatory towards people of a country where a mere 2/3rds of the population voting is a historically high turnout.

You in australia will be safe from the impact of an american election, the people in gaza won't.

You are just continuing to make assumptions and put words in my mouth that I never touched. Please point out to me where I said to not vote, or that Presidents don’t do lasting damage, or where I advocated to prolong Americans suffering justified by current suffering?

THE PEOPLE IN GAZA ARE CURRENTLY DYING WHETHER KAMALA WINS OR NOT. She does not care about them, neither does Trump. If you think you can’t criticise both sides for the damage they’ve both inflicted you’re wrong. Just because Trump has done terrible things doesn’t mean Harris hasn’t.

I didn’t fucking claim that I was going to be unsafe from the American election, all I did was point out that there is a ripple effect and that Australia will most likely follow suit in what America does. I also don’t fucking care what happens to me, I care what happens to the generations of Palestinians never getting to go back home, and the fucking children for christs sake having way more empathy than grown adults, and the Indigenous and First Nations peoples who are hoping that if Palestine can be free, so can they. I don’t see how I’m evil because I told you the American people, and Palestinian people that you all deserve better than the lesser of two evils.

And I’m unsure of what that’s supposed to mean “Truly spoken like someone from a country where voting is mandatory”… ok? Did I encourage people not to vote? No i did no such thing, I said that I don’t see how the system can ever change if people don’t ever try and vote for someone else… my problem isn’t that they started an event to get people to vote, that would be fine - it would even be okay if they did the same event they’re doing now - but with active fundraising and events also to protect and help Palestine. But they aren’t, it’s just a campaign to get people to vote for her, and yes I see the importance of making sure Trump never gets into office again but I fucking long for a world where people don’t have to choose some other shitty person to get away from the shittier one. It isn’t fair.

I can be reasoned with, in the sense that yes 100% vote for her if it means not voting for him, but I will not support or stand by celebs who have done fuck all for Palestine do an event to promote voting for her.

I also hate having discourse with people online, because I can never tell what people’s tone is and I just want to say that I’m not saying any of this with anger towards you, or with any viciousness. I am fucking exhausted, and I really honestly don’t want to see anyone hurt anymore. I guess I’m just a bit delusional in hoping that neither Democratic or Republican/Labour or Liberal have to win… that if you guys can do it then it can happen here, and then people with actual empathy can be in power… I do not wish to anger you or make you mad, I want the world to actually change for the better and I know that despite Albanese being good in certain ways, it gets shit on by how horrendous he is in other ways. NSW has in the past year put through archaic anti protest laws, nationwide parliament have changed the NDIS laws to much worse shitty ones, and have consistently lied about their active involvement in the ongoing genocide in Palestine. And this is under the Labour government aka the good guys - the Democrats. Do I want to vote for Scott Morrison or whatever cunt is on the ballot for Liberal next? No but I can’t stand the thought of voting for Albo again.

Something has to give right? Four more years with Albo or Harris just means four more years of the same government doing fuck all to help those who need help. It’s been almost a whole year since the current wave of genocide in Gaza started and there has been no action for good by either governments despite the protests every single week, and the encampments and the petitions and everything else.

I want people in power who understand that they serve the people not the other way around.

hey look at this stupid ass take

i will admit with the first line. Each community has good and bad people, and pedestalizing or making them a permanent victim is a human folly.

however the rest is absolute bullshit. does she even pay attention to *actually* what is happening?

Nobody is saying anything against Hinduism, and i'm saying that as a hindu. what we're saying is against hindutva.

just the same way people talk about nazism, not christianity

zionism, not jews

the taliban, not islam

AND MANY MORE.

See the thing is, religious politics is not something new in India - it has been practiced for a looong time. Modern day religious politics are derived from the British, who first introduced it to us. Painting the Hindus as "godless heathens" and Muslims as "wanderers", the Britishers accomplished their first mission successfully by pitting the largest religious communities against each other. Next, following the 1857 Rebellion, they started a massive Islamophobic campaign, deliberately destroying India's secular fabric.

Now onto what this user was ranting about. The only threat, the only damage to my religion - is by these politicians and so called "saviours of the sanatan dharma".

first off, to appeal to the conservative mind since y'all are stuck in the 50s - do you think a religion that has lasted for 5000 years needs protection? and do you think that you, a wimp fed on hatred, is the person to do that?

secondly, your religion isn't the one being seen as "supremacist" or "evil". it's a movement started by your leaders that's being compared to nazism. Hindutva =/ Hinduism. The biggest damage, the biggest threat to hinduism, is from the hindutva movement and it's perpetrators and people who spread these fake propagandas - basically the BJP-RSS and their allies. They have transformed hinduism into something rotten, dark and twisted. they are brainwashing people day by day, and are easily getting away with it. just the same way people condemn Nazism, Hitler, and conservative christians who use their religion as a prop to justify genocide and social evils, in the very same way, we condemn Hindutva, Modi, and orthodox hindus who use their religion as a prop to justify genocide and social evils.

thirdly, nobody is denying the fact that hinduphobia exists, nor are we denying the fact that yes, through some points in the history, the religion did face some persecution. however, suggesting that this happens/happened at a large scale and thus will "wipe off hinduism" is propaganda. suggesting that muslims practice "love jihad" to "devour the hindu population" is islamophobic propaganda. suggesting hindus suffer from "inter-generational trauma due to what was faced by them" (i actually saw a white person write this in a screenshot) is again, brainwashed propaganda.

so in fact, no.

we don't have a problem with hinduism, we have a problem with people like you, user who wrote that stupid soggy paragraph. we have a problem with the hindutva movement. we have a problem with those motherfuckers you worship like Modi, Amit Shah, Yogi etc. who justify Islamophobia and incite hateful propaganda.
