        Yes, you are right, the alternative to not voting for a genocidal fascist is immediate revolution. Good little lib.

            What? I truly do not follow your line of thought here. You state that the alternative to voting for democrats yet again, is an immediate revolution, which I, sarcastically, point out as ridiculous. Is it because you thought I was serious?

            Anyway your argument is also flawed. Leftist revolution has succeeded many times many places around the world. There is nobody waiting for a revolution to finally succeed, it has already done so many many times. Where it has yet to succeed is in the imperial core. I dont dare to claim to know why, but I would imagine the farce of “democracy” we have does not help the situation. It functions as a release valve for discontent, while changing nothing.

        I support voting jackass, just not for genocidal neoliberals and DSA entryists. I know this will be shocking to you, but we have leftist parties in my country.

        Maybe you can form one as well? Is that too much to ask of Americans?

        Russia is doing war, not genocide. Ukraine was doing genocide in Donbass before Russia invaded. (And in the vein of “Jesus Fucking Christ I can’t believe it’s actually necessary to say this, but ShitLibs are so utterly illiterate as to make it necessary”: no, I don’t believe that’s the actual reason Russia invaded. Stopping that genocide was more of a happy accident.)

        The only source for “Chinese Genocide of Uyghurs” is one right wing theocrat in Austria with a self-professed “mission from God to fight against Communism”. He does have CIA contacts, but he doesn’t read or speak a lick of Mandarin. Oh, and a few actual terrorists that the US found convenient to help destabilize China.

        You can look up for yourself the video of Col Lawrence Wilkerson (US intelligence) addressing the Ron Paul Institute and laying out the entire playbook a few years before the accusations started.

            Nice Ad hominem, how about you actually engage with the argument instead of retreating to the liberal psychosis of the “Everyone Who Disagrees With Me Is A Robot” conspiracy?

                ??? Your comment is an actual ad hominem, do you not know what the words you use mean? An ad hominem is not just “when someone insults you” it is when someone dismisses the argument presented based on the perceived value of the character of the person making the argument - As you did when you failed to engage with the actual argument given and instead talked about some psychotic “bots and tankies”. You have to actually present an argument in order to for me to hit you with an ad hominem, which you’ve failed to do, which is what I pointed out.

                Now you then also go on and move the goalposts. You and I have not discussed whatever it is you’re trying to discuss, in fact we’re discussing your failure to engage with someone who did discuss that with you. So why would I want to? You’ve so far shown you’re completely incapable.

                  'Awww look at me, I’m so full of decorum! Why won’t you debate with me: a not bad faith actor!"

                  Why am I seeing this idiotic tactic lately from obvious wumaos? It’s obviously not a coincidence. How about telling Xi not to inflict ad hominem to Uyghurs.

                    Yeah man, I’m all decorum, that’s why I’m pointing out what a dipshit you are. I’m not even trying to debate you, you idiot. I’m trying to get you to stop being the laziest variant of a redditor possible.

                    I don’t know him, but if I did I would if he were doing that, but he isn’t, so I wouldn’t, if I knew him. How about reading the actual report? How about looking into anything beyond what you pick up through cultural osmosis in your racist echochamber?

            What an erudite rebuttal. You sure disproved what I said with the absolutely no information you provided.

            I assume the fact that you didn’t actually address either point is due to the fact that you know what instead dnwas correct and you’re salty your cable news talking heads haven’t given you the right talking points to get around that?

              Sure tankie. Here’s another 50c. Now go away and add that 50c to buy a plane ticket out of Russia before it becomes a Chinese vassal.

                Yeah, you clearly don’t have any actual rebuttal. I’d guess that you know I’m right and it pisses you off, so you’re lashing out. But I really don’t care very much. If your next response doesn’t actually address anything I’ve said, then you can fuck off to the block list and everyone who reads this later can know for absolutely certain that you agree I’m right, you just hate that fact.

                    That’s about what I expected from someone who frequents “TankieJerk”. If your comm has a “no right wingers” rule immediately above a clarification that Liberals are ok, then you don’t understand fuckign anything about politics well enough that anyone should take your opinion seriously.

                    Gonna block you now, kiddo. I’ve given you more than enough space to ensure nobody will think you have a point. Especially since you’re so incredibly bad at reading comprehension you can’t tell a USian from a Russian on the Internet.

                    But for the record:

                    "Look at me! I’m so civilised and predigious! Why won’t you notice me senpai?! It’s just an honest debate bro! It’s just a question bro!

                    Is a hilarious response when you started the shit and provided no actual substance at all.

        Lmao, do you actually think that “Uyghur genocide” means that China is carpet bombing Xinjiang 🤣

        “Genocide” in China’s case means cultural genocide. It stands in for forced assimilation. China isn’t bombing every single school and hospital in Xinjiang and massacring hundreds of thousands of Uyghur people dumbass. And I don’t support the treatment of Uyghurs in China, nor do I support Ukraine’s invasion.

        And this comment was really eye-opening. You American libs have made the word ‘genocide’ so fucking meaningless that you just throw it around for every single thing, including regular invasions. You didn’t watch the video I sent you of an actual genocide, did you?
