I’ve had a lot of liberals telling me that “Kamala has to play politics” and that we can’t criticize her because we are fighting fascism (she isn’t a fascist presiding over a genocide, obviously). I have found they get really indignant when you ask them what other groups besides Arabs/Muslims whose lives they think it’s OK to “play politics with” in order to “defeat fascism”. Black people? Trans people? Migrants?
I think you just called me a liberal for criticizing liberals for saying Arab/Muslim lives are worth less than others. Do you have some Zionist sympathies you would like to share?
Funny; that’s exactly how they defended Obomber while he was blowing Syrian and Libyan civilians to a finely-macerated fuckin paste. During his second administration I hate this fucking country.
There’s just a very blatant anti-Arab/anti-Muslim bigotry that runs through all of their reasoning (as well as some people in this comment thread, apparently). People always talk about “hypocrisy” but that’s basically just a thought-terminating cliche. When people engage in hypocrisy, it’s because there is some other thought/ideology that they are using to guide their reasoning, and in cases like this, it’s bigotry/racism.

You don’t ‘play politics’ to defeat fascism if you truly are attempting to defeat fascism, historically fascism wins that game every time.
Tell the liberals that.
What do you think I just did?
