What definition of fascism are you using? It sure as shit isn’t the dictionary or Eco’s - words have meaning.

That aside, there are 2 possible outcomes for this election - that’s a simple, mathematical reality. If you care about brown people, which of those two options will cause the death and suffering of far more of those people?

…but rather than lift a finger to actually help those you claim to care about, you’re going to throw them under the bus and empower the worse option because you can’t swallow your pride and vote for the lesser of two evils. An I right in thinking you’ll risk those peoples’ lives so that you can virtue signal with a Green vote?

They’re not currently in power. I’d like to keep it that way.

You don’t need the permission of a European kid to vote for the least shit option for your government and kick the can of fascism a little further down the road. The recent is close - the outcomes delivered by each candidate aren’t - you shouldn’t need encouragement to vote accordingly.

I really don’t like this argument (defensive genocide? Come on.), but it’s one for Palestine in any case - look at the Israeli operation of Palestine as an open air concentration camp, and look at the casualty stats - between a dozen and five hundred Palestinian casualties per Israeli casualty, depending on your datasource and the way you slice it. This would justify the 7 October attack as defensive - which they weren’t.

Again, if you combine all that with the fact what Israel have backed the IDF, and the fact that Israel are a nuclear power with an advanced military, and f35s (compared to a paraglider and small-arms) how do you conclude that this is defensive?

You understand that the Israeli government funded Hamas over the PLO, don’t you? Netanyahu signed the death warrant on his own citizens to create the pretext for the genocide he’s now accelerating - Netanyahu and the Israeli government did ask for this war.

Putting aside the lack of evidence of this, and the Israeli government’s history of being caught lying about this kind of thing, how many civilians is it defensible to kill per Hamas militant, and does the calculus change if they’re children?

…or are we taking the super credible IDF line and saying the infants are Hamas militants?

Watch them cry foul, threaten to pull out, start a legal fight, then go nowhere like the abusive type they are.
