Literally all you post about is "don't vote Biden".

You always capitalise Russia, but then generalise "the west".

You never go against Trump or the Republicans. Always just "don't vote Democrats".

And weirdly you seem to try this "both sides" bullshit even when you do the rare comment about something other than "don't vote genocide Joe", like in this thread where you're talking about the Russo-Ukrainian war carefully without taking a side on the issue.

So, how would one recognise an actual Russian troll, btw? Like... they probably wouldn't admit to being one, would they?

Yeah this account basically just flipped to constantly posting Israel war memes a month ago.

Along with quite a few others. Before that, it was all economy all the time

Tired talking points.

"I know trump is bad, but democrats are worse!"

"Republicans at least show who they really are, democrats decieve their constituents!"

"I'm not for Russia, but Ukraine should just ceasefire, so there's no more bloodshed."

"I know genocide would be even worse under Republicans, but Genocide Joe should concede and let someone else run."

"Both sides are the same, so a vote for either side is a vote for the same thing."

They are more than likely a sock puppet of one of the banned spreaders of propaganda.

i dont get it.. broad democratic support === fascism?

i always though facism was a much more specific construct.. ie a far-right, authoritarian, ultra-nationalistic political ideology and movement, characterized by a dictatorial leader, centralized autocracy, militarism, forcible suppression of opposition

  1. It is. Trump equals actual fascism in its full terrifying form, which is why it is a big deal to defeat him even though the current alternative are largely uninspiring corporate-friendly goons
  2. Biden has paused some weapons shipments because of Israel's war crimes, and is pushing to stop the killing; the Republicans are specifically the party that's trying to override him on that and make sure they get their weapons and encourage them to do more killing. That doesn't in any capacity excuse 8 months and counting of the Democrats funding and supporting Israel's crimes, generally speaking... but it does make it a little weird for someone who cares deeply about the Palestinian people to single out the Democrats as the problem that needs to be addressed, in order to help the Palestinians.

That's what fascism is, yes. The point being made, I think, is that Democrats are claiming to be anti-fascist while also supporting a fascist government in Israel.

broad democratic support

Meaning, of course:

  1. Israel has bought off political leaders from both parties for decades.

  2. Republican voters won't ever criticize their own team.

  3. There is a MASSSSIVE push to turn the Dem party into the same shit show.

[-] ChaoticNeutralCzech@feddit.de 7 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

I think they meant broad Democratic support, referring to the party

Neither here nor there but if you add a black outline or shadow to white text it becomes a lot more readable. See how it kinda blurs with the background in the first panel? On Photoshop you can do this easily by selecting the text layers, right click, blending options.

Do they? I think the bigger issue is the geopolitical value of Israel as an ally.

[-] archomrade@midwest.social 3 points 2 weeks ago

There being a reason for supporting a fascist state doesn't negate the fact that they are supporting a fascist state.

[-] Gullible@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 weeks ago

Russia and China wouldn’t be prolifically seeding ideas about abandoning Israel otherwise. Israel’s an indescribably useful platform for military campaigns.
