    This is a bad faith meme that represents anyone making any form of compromise as a rude, close-minded, genocide supporter, posted by an account that frequently posts pro-China, sometimes pro-Russia propaganda, and hops between Western country-focused lemmy’s pending election cycles.

    Just making sure the context for this post is visible.

      They’re not depicted as rude, they’re depicted as an know-it-all eager compromiser that ends up working for the forces of reaction because they have no real principles or red lines.

      close-minded

      That is generally the attitude of “centrists” and people that go out of the way to congratulate themselves on “being practical” by triamgulating. If they were open to actual principles they eould no longer be triangulating on them, and triangulating is their primary commitment.

      genocide supporter

      Like virtually every Democratic member of Congress and both of their presidential candidates? Anyone tolerating that is indeed complicit. It does not require any mental gymnastics to acknowledge this.

      posted by an account that frequently posts pro-China

      No!!! I almost passed out when I read that. You’re telling me there are good aspects of a designated enemy of empire!? Impossible.

      Open-minded btw.

      sometimes pro-Russia propaganda

      Not another designated enemy!!! I almost died when I read this.

      and hops between Western country-focused lemmy’s pending election cycles.

      Is this supposed to imply something bad about them?

        And here I thought statements of lemmy.ml being overrun with tankies were exaggurated. Boy your deconstruction of my post sure showed me!

      People elect representatives to represent them, not to compromise and pass the opposition’s agenda.

      It’s forgivable if the representative failed to obtain enough power, but if they have literally any means at their disposal and don’t use it, an unwillingness to use all the power the people gave them to do what they elected them to do is a betrayal of those people.
