[–] infinitevalence@discuss.online 51 points 1 month ago* (2 children) Nice of them to identify all our next set of targets, just remember folks these are the people who only pretend to fight fascism. They are ok with deporting your neighbors. They are ok with bombing children. They are ok with genocide. They are ok with the criminal plundering of America. They are part of the Epstein class. permalink fedilink source hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] SirEDCaLot@lemmy.today 6 points 1 month ago In the words of Lt. Gen. David Morrison, former head of Australia's army, "The standard you walk past, is the standard you accept.". If they are only committing to actually start doing shit when their jobs are threatened, that means they are not people of principle they are people of self-interest. Granted that is better than nothing, as those of us who want shit done can use their support to help get shit done. But this should not be confused for actual principle. permalink fedilink source parent [–] Cosmonauticus@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago Don't forget racism, sexism, and pond scum permalink fedilink source parent
