(52,999 posts)You are justifying choosing fascism over democracy, causing suffering of millions because of self-indulgent rage. I'm talking to the person who wrote that justification. I don't give a shit where you were in 2001. I care what you did in 2016 and how you seek to justify it now. NOTHING else matters. That was the moment that defined you, me, and everyone else. I stood up to fascism. I worked to stop Hitler. I don't make excuses for those who helped put him in power. I do not do so because I don't make excuses for hate crimes, for breaking up families with immigration rates, for terrorizing the population and causing suffering. That is in effect what you are justifying. You claim it's okay because of anger. Well it isn't. Your anger isn't worth more than the lives of the millions who will suffer.
You are right about one thing. It wasn't the left that voted against Hillary. It was the self-entitled bourgeoisie, most of them white, comfortable in the knowledge they would never experience the suffering they willfully imposed on the subaltern.
