There's nothing more to say. It's literally the r/neoliberal post from a week ago, with some more edition because lemmy libs apparently are dumber and can't understand something unless it's spelled to them.

It's the dunk tank.
This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.
Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.
Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.
Rule 3: No sectarianism.
Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome
Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)
Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.
Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.
Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to [email protected]
Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again

This is amazing. The mental gymnastics necessary is mind boggling.
Let's say Trump and Biden are equally terrible for Palestinians but Trump rolls out a plan to pull out of Ukraine. Using the logic above, shouldn't all Dems vote for Trump since he's quantifiably less terrible?
LOL. What fucking losers. It takes no effort to realize all sides are bad and we're all fucked. Just own it. You can even still be a shitlib like my mom. Just realize it's 100% bullshit.
You misunderstand where their heart is on Ukraine. They don't want Ukrainians to live, they want Russians to die. Their problem with trump pulling out of Ukraine isn't "more dead Ukrainians", it's "less dead Russians". This is why when you suggest Ukraine should take a peace deal to stop the war as soon as possible, you get the whinging and handwringing.
Oh. I know their takes on Putin. But fewer dead people is fewer dead people. It's their logic, not mine.
Nope, it is our logic and not theirs. We want fewer dead people. Going by what liberals say about russia, they want more dead people. We only shit on Biden because he is not actually the lesser evil. Communists have made united fronts with many actual lesser evils before. Hell, even our critical support of many countries qualifies as lesser evilism. What makes us different from the liberals is that our perspective is significantly broader. We do not consider the genocides to be a lesser evil in any capacity.
Still remember reading incredibly ghoulish takes saying "This war is good because we're severely damaging Russia at no cost in American lives." Just outright admitting that they consider Ukrainians expendable.
