196 Stands with Palestine, but those of you in the US should still vote in the general election.

I've been seeing a lot of anti-voting sentiment going around. Can't believe I have to say this, but you need to vote. Not only is there more to the election than just the president. (State policy, Senate, house), but not voting is not an act of protest. C'mon guys

Lol. As if trans people in red states will be any better off with Biden as president again. Or trans people in blue states any worse under Trump. The feds aren't doing anything about all the states that are doing the most heinous shit to trans people already.

Don't threaten me with my sister's death to coerce me to support the genocidal regime currently in power.

They don't keep us safe. We keep us safe.

She can win if you vote for her 😘

Grow up and vote for the genocide, sweaty.

"Tankie" is when you don't vote for a candidate who supports genocide.

The state of the online "tankie" discourse has never been worse.

    nobody looks like this

    that's a cartoon character

    The natural result of canon-obsessed nerds.

    If Biden wanted my vote he could simply stop supporting genocide. Really quite a low bar for him to clear.

    There's "holding your nose" and there's voting for someone actively aiding a genocide.

    regul ,

    I'm not voting for someone who's pro genocide, sorry.

    regul ,

    Wow that all sounds awful. Biden should really try to win in order to prevent that.

    I suggest he make himself more appealing by being anti-genocide.

    regul ,

    Nah. He knows what he needs to do to get my vote.

    regul ,

    I won't vote for someone who's pro genocide. It's pretty simple.

    People who aid and abet genocide don't get my vote.

    Biden's not changing course, so he clearly thinks he can win just with the votes of people who are okay voting for a pro-genocide candidate. That's his call to make.

    regul ,

    there are healthier outlets for it, though!

    Think about how often you hear about this vs how often you hear about Xinjiang.

    regul ,

    I was making the point in the opposite direction. American slave labor is rarely broached in media, yet my government tells me that China is not to be trusted because the west claims they're using slave labor in Xinjiang.

    The Global Green Energy Transition Has an Uyghur Forced Labor Problem, Report Says (investorsforhumanrights.org)

    The solar and electric vehicle industries are critical for the world's urgent transition away from fossil fuels. However, both industries source many of their critical inputs from the Uyghur Region, a region where the Chinese government is systematically persecuting the native Uyghur, Turkic, and Muslim-majority peoples,...

    This report, funded by the UK government, takes the forced labor as a given. Their "research" is essentially, "we couldn't trace supply lines, so we assume all green tech is tied to Xinjiang, and that anything made in Xinjiang has forced labor in the chain". In fact the "report" is actually "investor advice", and not purporting to be factual reporting of any kind.

    I'm sure all the people who "worked" on this are enjoying their six figure e-mail jobs.

    That's Neko Arc. A cat version (and joke character) of a character from the fighting game Melty Blood.

    Why is Neko Arc associated with pilk? Idk they're a funny little guy.
