I’m an anarchist and anti-electoralist and I still voted for the cop. Blame the democratic party and ignorant libs for the fat Ls we’re all taking. Leftists aren’t a big enough voting bloc to sway the election, and most of us still vote no matter how stupid and pointless it is.

Anything to avoid actually fighting fascism eh?

Racism is a nebulous ideology full of contradictions. It completely crumbles under close examination. You highlighting the internal inconsistencies of racism and going “see! It doesn’t matter that the visibly white people aren’t white!” Isn’t proving the point you think it is. There is no white tribe. It’s a myth. You’re fighting a ghost. The European continent is full of numerous ethnic and cultural groups. Groups that were at each other’s throats for most of their history. Some still are to this day. Again, the Irish are a perfect example of this.

If I said all Africans are of the same tribe and waaaay more similar than they are different, you’d lose your shit. It’s the same deal. Whiteness doesn’t exist, white supremacy does. It’s complicated and makes no sense. It’s not supposed to make sense, it’s a tool of oppression just like any other form of racism.

Between your comments on race and your comments on religion, it’s obvious that you’ve constructed a comfy narrative for yourself where all of the views you hold are the right ones and they absolve you of all wrongdoing perpetuated by members of your race and religion, choosing instead to lay the blame solely on others. You have no incentive to think otherwise, you’re perfect, your beliefs are perfect, and the people like you who do bad things aren’t really what they say they are. Enjoy your delusion

No, Zionists are mostly Jews and Christians. Same as the modern wave of American fascisn is explicitly Christian. They say as much and use their respective religious texts to opress others. Many evangelical churches spew religiously motivated hate very Sunday, and perpetuate the state’s propaganda to the Christian masses. There are atheist Zionists and fascists, sure, but to say that those movements are atheist movements is so hilariously wrong I don’t even know how you’ve managed to convince yourself of it

Being European doesn’t necessarily mean you’re white. The Irish are European (and the whitest of the bunch if skin color was the only factor) and for the longest time they weren’t considered white, and were subject to the same oppression and genocide from the “real whites”. Many Jewish people, and many Zionist for that matter, may have European ancestry, but they aren’t really considered white. Some might be white passing, but the Jewish diaspora is multi ethnic and largely unified by their religion/family history. Even the ones from a “white” background aren’t considered white because they’re Jewish first in the minds of those who seek to enact racist violence against them

I understand that white supremacy and the history behind it is its own unique dynamic, but so are other forms of racism. There have been numerous ethnic cleansings in Africa that didn’t involve white people, the Armenian genocide was perpetrated by non whites, balkanization, the Indian subjugation of kashmiris, the frankly bewildering levels of racism between various Asian ethnic groups, we can keep going but I feel like that is sufficient.

Your characterization of the genocide in Palestine is not only wrong, but also bordering on racist itself in the wildly inaccurate generalizations you make of the Jewish/Hebrew diaspora. We could go into the history of the Hebrew people, because their history as victims of racist, religious, and ethnic violence disproves your entire point. They’ve been subject to so many genocides and ethnic cleansings throughout their history that our modern conceptions of racist violence are largely informed by their history. White people weren’t the only ones subjugating Jews. Judaism predates the existence of whiteness as a concept by millennia, so how exactly am I wrong?

You know racism is ubiquitous globally right? Americans and “westerners” don’t have a monopoly on prejudice

Leftism is a pointless rhetorical crutch for the politically illiterate, it doesn’t really exist. It’s a loose, essentially worthless grouping of a bunch of diverse ideologies that have little in common outside of being generally anti-fascist and not liberal

This is a coup

Is there an alternative comprehensive guide you would recommend? I’ve been wanting to get into self hosting for ages and I’ve wanted something like this to help me through the process. A lot of the criticism in this thread means absolutely nothing to me because I have no idea what any of it means

Umm ackshually

In legal proceedings, being fit to stand trial is the opposite of insanity. Pleading not guilty for insanity suggests a chronic mental health issue that leaves the person incapable of understanding or making sound judgements.

We have a similar system in place in the medical field. If a person is unable to demonstrate basic self awareness in the moment, they cannot consent to medical care. For us, this means implied consent takes effect and we are allowed to act in what would be considered a reasonable manner to save the patients life. There are systems in place for people who are chronically not oriented; be it medical power of attorney, advanced directives, DNRs, etc

From what I understand, this is (in spirit at least) what’s happening in a legal setting as well. If a person isn’t capable of understanding the legal proceedings, then they need to be treated for their illness before the case can continue. I could be misremembering but a not guilty verdict by reason of insanity isn’t a get out of jail free card, it’s a “go to a state run mental institution until you’re able to stand trial” card. You’re still being locked up, often times into an environment that is significantly worse than the prison you would’ve gone to instead. Possibly for longer than the sentence they would’ve (and still may) served in prison. It’s an awful system with massive flaws that punishes some of the most disadvantaged people in society for being neglected by the state to a point where they’re a danger to themselves and those around them.

Looking at the inverse here. My entire family except for one of my brothers, my wife, and myself are chuds. If I didn’t have/want a good relationship with my parents I’d stay home

American politicians have used dehumanizing language from the jump. This country was built on slavery ffs. Even if we limit it to the 21st century presidents this isn’t new. George Bush pulled this shit post 9/11. Hell, Biden has been and continues to dehumanize Palestinians
