I don’t know why I’m surprised they don’t but I really expected that maybe this time they would care even a tiny bit.

Like they kinda sorta cared a little bit about healthcare for a minute and that blew over, and then they kinda sorta cared about minority rights for longer than I expected so that was cool but these issues are actually kind of historically complex and difficult to solve so I wasn’t too surprised when libs just… fucking forgot. Climate change, me too, student loan debt…all sorta kinda complex in certain ways.

But genocide is so simple. It’s probably the least complicated issue that libs have ever had to confront. Bombs go out children go boom it cannot be less complicated.

And yet here we are with libs across America hand wringing about how well it’s maybe not genocide and maybe it’s somehow complicated and maybe we should talk about it after we defeat Trump who we’re SURE will do this complicated thing we can’t quite understand worse somehow.

I guess if genocide staring libs in the actual face isn’t enough to get them to care a tiny itty bitty bit about maybe trying to do something good for once…is there anything that possibly could? I can’t imagine much worse of a thing than literal genocide. Maybe libs are just wholly incapable of using their brains or their hearts in any capacity at all.

And if that’s the case is there any hope at all? I know there is but man this moment watching this election and everyone cheering wholeheartedly for as much genocide as they possibly can might be one of the most hopeless I’ve ever felt

    I know there’s a lot of good work being done by comrades across the country, which will qualitatively transform into revolutionary party at some point in the future. It will take a lot of work, and I don’t mean to project the idea that it is hopeless, but until that future time when there is a visible tent pole for socialism in the US, the vast majority of discontent will be funneled toward fascism. It is highly likely that we will be building socialism on the ashes of a defeated fascist American state and we shouldn’t sugar coat that reality
