Conservatives joke that progressives just blow with the wind from one controversy to the next. But I can't help but notice the anti-Biden "left" shifted hard from Genocide Joe to Bad debate Performance without skipping a beat or looking back.

Almost like the people stoking these fires don't really care about left issues at all.

Accelerationism is a position that is literally only possible to hold from a position of privilege.

And boy do they get butthurt when you tell them that they're privileged.

I got one person really indignant with me when I called them privileged because they were pushing accelerationist bullshit about Palestinians being genocides because they didn't have to deal with the results of their rhetoric.

I've seen the same in someone I know personally. He's a pacifist, and being against funding Ukraine is at least consistent with that, if completely shortsighted and demonstrating how pacifism is an end goal, not praxis that we can do right now. He's also smart enough to realize what a losing argument that is and focuses on Palestine instead.
