I get along well with my family, but I’m honestly considering voting Kamala just to fuck with them.

would you feel comfortable face-to-face explaining to a Palestinian child why you voted for his extermination?

You think they’ll give a fuck if you said ‘but I didn’t vote for it’?

Nobody should vote for these genocidal fucks. There is no excuse to vote for genocide.

But when it comes to paying, serious question: Is there any way to avoid having the money I am forced to accrue and produce with my labor stolen from my paycheck and used to murder people? Other than the extremely obvious.

This is not a joke, this is not a bit, this is not attempt to excuse people doing nothing, this is not an attempt to struggle-session with you. I’ve seriously wondered if I should quit my job and start robbing yuppies for rent money but down that path lies a quick death that achieves … nothing? of useful strategy.

And maybe the answer is that the most moral and only thing to do is do the obvious and die with our souls pure. But I have a family and I know what the state would do to them – arrest, interrogate, and torture them to set an example to others. It’s not moral but I can’t do that to them, they’ve been put through so much horrible shit at the hands of the US Empire already.

You could always donate money to the Palestinian gofundmes that are floating around like these:

There’s so much more you could find at https://gazafunds.com/. And if you think every single one of those gofundmes are scams, there’s always the Municipality of Gaza https://gaza-city.ensany.com/campaign/6737 that are trying to raise money for:

  • Water supply enhancement projects
  • Maintenance of water wells
  • Implementation of water desalination initiatives
  • Management of waste collection and disposal systems
  • Reconstruction of roads demolished during war
  • Implementation of sewage water pumping and treatment schemes
  • Execution of pest control and rodent eradication programs
  • Enhance water provisions for residents and maintain consistency.
  • Manage the collection and disposal of accumulated waste throughout the city.
  • Address sewage overflow and sanitation issues across various areas of the city.
  • Initiate the reopening of key thoroughfares to facilitate emergency vehicle access.
  • Clear debris from the cityscape to restore ease of movement for residents.
  • Provide aid to the personnel of the Gaza Municipality Emergency Committee.

To say that our only choice as people living within the imperial core is to either do adventurism, fuck off into the woods, or do absolutely nothing is a ridiculous dichotomy.

From each according to their abilities to each according to their needs.

That’s fair but if I want to be annoying about this I could go on endless degrees of abstraction.

You’re working an above board job to eat not to pay for the genocide of the Palestinians. Can’t someone vote for non-Gaza related and personal reason? What if they work a government job that depends on which administration is in power? The point is that almost all of us are supporting this genocide one way or another and few are voting Democrat to exterminate Palestinians.

Which is worse, lying or actively supporting genocide?

and a Christian

Brother unironically you will be committing a grave, grave sin if you vote for someone who is actively sanctioning a genocide and desecration upon the holy lands. Think about it, these are deeply sacred lands for every sect of the abrahamic faiths, yours too! And look at what literal satan and moloch are doing to the rightful keepers of those lands. Please for the sake of your soul its better not to vote for such an incarnation of evil upon earth.

A vote for genocide is an endorsement of genocide. An endorsement of genocide damns one’s soul. Everyone who knowingly votes for genocide deserves to go to Hell.

Implicit in this question is the moral calculation that the lives of Palestinians are worth less than triggering your evil relatives. Comrade I know you don’t believe that. So don’t fall into the trap of acting as if you do.

In light of that, no, absolutely do not vote for Holocaust Harris. If you want to antagonize your shitty chud family members, just vote 3rd PSL and tell them you voted PSL because you want the Communists to win and put your family in gulags so that they can be cleansed of the sin of reaction by experiencing a fraction of the hell that AmeriKKKa has inflicted on the Middle East and Palestine in particular. Or just punch them in their stupid faces? haha, jk… lest? Nay, perish the thought. … Lest?
