(this is a sarcastic post meant to highlight the absurdity of some of the “greater good” rhetoric we’ve been hearing, especially around leaving vulnerable populations like disabled people behind in case of revolution, basically accelerationism)

    There was absolutely an effort to demoralize Democratic voters here on Lemmy. Those people did support the Trump campaign by engaging in consistent, high-volume criticism and justification of it using logic such as yours.

      I was one of them.

      I didn’t do it because I support trump or because I’m a russian troll or some other bullshit.

      I did it because genocide is appealing and a friend of mine died in Beyruth last year.

      I still think you’re appealing yourself.

      Not just Lemmy, unfortunately. I had a guy in my politics discord who spammed nothing but Gaza right before the election, but since the election, he’s only posted a handful of things criticizing Trump. And I know he’s not a bot, because I’ve been chatting with him for years.

      I wonder how many people are just burnt out from the outrage, and I wonder how much of that was an intentional ploy to get us to stop caring.
