    Voting for Biden to prevent Israel’s genocide from killing millions of people is not a comprise on supporting genocide. Accelerationism calls for allowing the fascists to successfully takeover the US government and thus accelerationism and anti-fascism are mutually exclusive.

      Supporting a candidate that’s supporting a genocide so that more genocide doesn’t happen under someone else… idk, that certainly does sound like compromise? I was told compromise was something adults were supposed to do, why does it sound like you’re offended by this meme?

      Lmao, all I did was challenge the ‘anti-fascist’ label of the project, are y’all really so attached to your benevolent self-image that you cannot conceive of yourselves without that label? You’re tolerating a bad thing in service of preventing a terrible thing, you can still feel good about that if you want I wont stop you

        Compromise implies that US voters have some direct agency to influence Israel’s war cabinet and are settling for less. US voters have indirect agency to influence Israel based on which US presidential candidate is elected. Biden is pushing for a ceasefire where as Trump wants Israel to “finish what they started”. Given the the only option US voters have to interfere with Israel’s genocide is to reduce the number of causalities, they should vote for that option.

        I was told compromise was something adults were supposed to do, why does it sound like you’re offended by this meme?

        My argument is that comprise has nothing to do with the choice US voters are facing this November. What do I have to do with it?

        Lmao, all I did was challenge the ‘anti-fascist’ label of the project, are y’all really so attached to your benevolent self-image that you cannot conceive of yourselves without that label?

        My argument is about the statement in your meme. The anti-fascist label is the correct label to describe a political movement that is against fascists. That is self-evident.

          Lmao the anti-fascist label does not have room in it to tolerate material support of genocide, or to justify that tolerance because you need to include those people who support it to serve your other goals.

          You’re free to call it an ‘anti-maga-fascist’ coalition if you want. That seems less likely to confuse people who would like to actually act against fascism in all its forms and features, not just the ones that are most immediate to yourself.
