Pretty sure that anti-anti-fascism is just straight-up a Nazi trope.

How is it remotely sane to give support to any candidate who backs an ongoing genocide? It's only sane to do so if you're apathetic to the said victims of genocide and know that their ghosts won't affect you after they've been murdered by the politicians you've elected.
If there are 2 buttons, and both will result in the commission of Genocide, you don't press either button. This is why this meme wouldn't work in its usual context if the buttons said that.
Any voter or potential voter who has moral principles and values should withhold support for any candidate who supports or enables the most serious crime known to humanity.
If a political opponent of Adolf Hitler was vying for election in Germany in 1932 or 1933, and that political opponent also had the same views towards Jews and/or other ethnic, racial, religious and national groups as Adolf Hitler, with the same intention to commit and use the power of their office to facilitate genocide against those groups as the NSDAP has, you don't vote for that other candidate, even if they maintain free elections within a fascist Germany. On principle, every person has a moral responsibility not to support, nor facilitate the crime of Genocide. A true democracy allows for true political expression of the population and doesn't force its electorate to back a Genocide.
I hope I'm not being OTT or patronizing. When talking about an ongoing Genocide against a group it's off to reduce the (unfortunately) political issue of Genocide prevention to the less serious language used in US domestic politics. And there ought not to be a reason why Palestine is less important than Ukraine or Russian influence in Europe. I mean Palestine is fucked right now and has been since 1948. Why would European people let Palestine be fucked for decades since it doesn't affect Europe but care about Ukraine since it does? I dunno such a shit situation.
I think it is both. People are naturally the most revolutionary in times of crisis and struggle. It is the conditions which are created by the capitalist system that make the people feel that the system they live under is untenable, especially with rapid changes in conditions as experienced during financial crises. Many within the bourgeoise study the instability of capitalism in order to protect their capital or to profit from it.
From OP:
The Biden administration has been doing everything in their power to reign in Israel, push for ceasefire, and negotiate deals to save hostages. But sure, he's totally "pro-warcrimes."
He's done so much to obtain a ceasefire that his leadership was the only one to veto a ceasefire at the UN Security Council!
If capitalism is so bad then how come living conditions are worse in the exploited global south whose nations are targeted, exploited and destabilised by the imperialist core?
Same dumbass line of questioning.

You can buy paprika at Tescos but British food is still shit.
A large part of the reason I prefer discussions on Lemmy over Reddit is that people will actually engage with you rationally on this site. How is it enjoyable to engage with patronising people who only pretend to address your arguments? If a Lib wandered over to Lemmygrad they'd be told why they're wrong instead of just being immediately banned by mods or told to formally fuck off or some shit.
Geopolitics replaces class struggle with the struggle between nations, which is obviously reactionary to everyone who understands Marxism
Who actually sits and types that nobody is allowed to analyze any relationship between nations or else they're a fascist? That's clearly class reductionism to me.
Capitalism breeds innovation
