@juniper I grew up attending a synagogue where some of the older congregation members had concentration camp tattoos on their wrists. My father was drafted by the Royal Navy during the war. I may have studied the Nazis a bit too closely as a child because it happened during living memory: it's still happening elsewhere around the world today. (Gaza right now; the USA next February if the election breaks bad.)

All of my neighbors are immigrants. Our children played together.

You know who is NOT going to ethnically cleanse our neighborhood? Kamala Harris.

@Phosphenes @cstross @juniper She's helping ethnic cleansing in Gaza RIGHT NOW. Lucky it s not YOUR neiborghood dough.

The American genocide of Gaza is horrifying. What do you recommend we do about it?

disisdeguey

@Phosphenes @cstross @juniper Stop SELLING WEAPONS TO ISRAEL, to being with. Arms embargo and the basic BDS Boycott, divest, SANCTIONS (the US are pretty fast when we Talk about Cuba, Venezuela or Russia for that) oh ans STOP BOMBING INNOCENT PEOPLE. Kamala IS doing all that, but the opposite. Don't need a TED Talk to understand this.

I am not selling weapons to Israel. How am I supposed to stop doing something I never did?

Did YOU stop selling weapons to Israel?

disisdeguey

@Phosphenes @cstross @juniper Your government IS.
Put pressure on your government to stop. There are a 100 moverments in the STATES doing so. Go and help. And of course #BDSIsrael #bdsmovement

> Put pressure on your government to stop.

We do. We absolutely do. I pray your efforts to end the massacre succeed too.

@disisdeguey @Phosphenes @cstross Look, we have two choices here in the US, okay?

Trump or Kamala.

And I know which one is going to do A LOT LESS HARM.

I've never liked her, but I will begrudgingly support her over A FASCIST TYRANT.

Please get some perspective and pragmatism, PLEASE.

@juniper @disisdeguey @Phosphenes@glasgow.social As someone-or-other said: casting your vote isn't a declaration of undying love, it's a chess move to stop your worst enemy making progress.

@cstross @juniper @disisdeguey as a German Trump and his gang sounds very much like what we had in our history lessons about the Nazis. Same taking points, same plans, as you indicated. And it scares the hell out of me. However, there is one big difference. 1931 a country with 80 Mio inhabitants headed into fascism, had no nukes and was not the hegemon of the Western world. This time it is. And that scares me even more.

@juniper @disisdeguey @Phosphenes @cstross they said nothing contrary to any of this.

they correctly pointed out that she is actively complicit in ethnic cleansing, with the implication that making glib jokes about how she’s the candidate that doesn’t do ethnic cleansing is pretty inappropriate.

disisdeguey

@juniper @Phosphenes @cstross So if Trump or Bin Laden, you would vote for one of those because "we have to stop one evil"? There's a third party option. MAYBE in millions you can change something. But you are scare and they know It. #kamalaharrisforgenocide

@disisdeguey @Phosphenes @cstross @juniper trump is literally calling Netanyahu every day to fuck up ceasefire talks.

Harris losing will make things even worse.

disisdeguey

@klforslund @Phosphenes @cstross @juniper This IS Just low level propaganda. Trump IS calling but everytime Blinken talks to the ziopaths they bomb even harder. There is prove of Blinken rejecting every friking deal on the table with Hamás. Demócrats they are not Just WATCHING THEY ARE accomplices 100%. #kamalaharrisforgenocide

@cstross @juniper My father, whose family was Jewish but nonobservant, served in WWII. He was unhappy that the Army sent him to the Pacific. As he told me decades later, "I wanted to go to Europe and kill Nazis."

@cstross @juniper Kurdistan (by Turkey), Ukraine, probably any surviving small nations in Russia who are the first to be drafted in the conquest and aren't practically allowed to speak their language as russian is "the human language", Uighurs in China, probably many african nations with either ethnically divided colonially drafted borders in which one is exterminating the other to get the resources or a dictator / military hunta is in power etc.
