    Youre attributing to malicious indifference what is more than likely just ignorance.

    Youre mistaking your political involvement to be the standard as though everyone knows and understands the history of Israel/Palestine. Most people barely understand their own countries history. Most people don’t understand economics or markets or politics. Its not their thing.

    A lot of people are just not engaged with politics. And you can argue that’s a position of privilege, but its also one of their ignorance. They’re not as interested in it as we are here, that doesnt automatically mean they’re uncaring evil enablers.

    You can make the case that they should be more involved. But they’re not hearing evidence and then willfully not acting on it… they’re not hearing anything. And if your position is “those people are the enemy” they’re never going to hear you.

      I don’t give a fuck what their bullshit excuse was. At this point – or at any point since at least 2020 – not knowing what Trump is is civic negligence. He attempted a coup, for fuck’s sake!

      Non voters are motherfucking fascist collaborators and they deserve to be treated like collaborators!

        Cool, totally sane person.

        All youre doing is telling the those ignorant people that your position is judgemental and angry. Amd they’re going to respond with “well I don’t wanna associate with those people”

        You can’t shame someone into your moral position. Gay conversion therapy have been trying that for years. It doesnt work. It mostly just build animosity.

        Youre doing the right a favor by making the left look so unappealing.

          Fuck all the way off trying to compare people who can’t be bothered to have even a shred of the most basic common decency and sense of responsibility as citizens to victims of conversion “therapy!” What the fuck is wrong with you?!

          The “you made me turn fascist by being a meanie” excuse is weak-ass invalid nonsense and you fucking know it.

            I think what the other user is trying to tell you is that the delivery of your message is just as important as the message itself. Shame doesn’t work, it just makes them defensive and dig in. It takes conversations not shit slinging.

            Put it to you this way. I agree with probably most of your views, but the way youre talking to me, I dont want to have anything to do with you either…
