    There’s something just so…disgusting about Blue MAGA. Like, far fouler than CHUDs. I think it is the way they act like things like supporting a genocide are somehow “moral” acts because “the republicans would be worse.” Never any evidence of that, and it has long gone past the most extreme conclusion you could go to with that sort of thing, even as a hypothetical.

    The CHUDs proudly wear their inhumanity on their sleeve, but Blue MAGA act like their reprehensibility is actually just a “strategic decision” and somehow makes them the more moral party. The Nazis back in the day would’ve behaved a lot more like Blue MAGA than the CHUDs, cloaking their reprehensible actions in the language of Capitalist Realism, “There’s no other option for us” “We didn’t want to to come to this but now we have no choice”.

      A lot of Nazis would be somewhat closer to Republicans, let’s be honest. The Nazis characterized the violence as self-defense, but so do even the foulest Zionists. If you want a comparison point for the Dems, look at the liberals across Europe and the Anglosphere who enabled the Nazis.

      Marx put it best: “[Vulgar economy] confines itself to systematising in a pedantic way, and proclaiming for everlasting truths, the trite ideas held by the self-complacent bourgeoisie with regard to their own world, to them the best of all possible worlds.”

      What are liberals if not the intellectual heirs of the same vulgar economists?

      Chuds on the other hand are basically anti-systematization. They’re willing to acknowledge the obvious, to override their own models when they fail. Of course, the ends are still evil, but without the pretense.

      It’s the implication that you are in fact evil for not supporting their rendition of the same genocide. It is suggesting that calls to not genocide are weakening the movement to put rainbows and smiley faces on the graves of children.

      Chuds are openly evil. They relish in it. Dems try to sell evil under the trojan horse of harm reduction, effectively trying to neutralize the only real opposition to evil.
