      First they came for the tankies, but I did not speak out—
         Because I was not a tankie.

      Then they came for the ultra-left Marxists, but I did not speak out—
         Because I was not an ultra-left Marxist.

      Then they came for the anarchists, but I did not speak out—
         Because I was not an anarchist.

      Then they came for the social democrats, but I did not speak out—
         Because I was not an social democrat.

      Then they came for anyone left of Biden/Harris—and there was no one left to speak for us.

      DB0 used to remove Uyghur genocide denial and Holodomor denial. It’s sad that now they regard that as permitted. Now they even defend vanguard parties overthrowing democratic elections.

        Some people are capable of updating their views when given new information. And some people have so tightly bound their sense of self & self-worth to an ideology that no amount of new information will change their views. Anyone who doesn’t share their ideology is an offense to their self-validation and are an enemy.

        I question how much you actually care/cared about the 1930s Ukrainians, today’s Uyghurs, or today’s Palestinians except as rhetorico-political tools to excoriate anyone left of you.
