You speak like you have the luxury. This was years ago and the collapse of your country is imminent. Do you really want to start burning a leader at the stake with some flaws in favor of a gang of criminals? This is precisely why you’re in this predicament. Look around you. Do better yourself. You have little choice but compromise at the moment. Burn him at the stake later when you’re not actively dying as a country. So goddamn unbelievable and insufferable.
I do have the luxury. If we’re doing this we’re all in, and while I’ll take any ally I can get, I’m going to continue to fight for the rights of non-human life until my last breath and not just seek to replace a right-wing populist with a left-wing one just because he’s on my team. If you’re willing to compromise your personal morality because your favorite dude has compromised theirs instead of saying “hey, I’m with you 90% of the time but here’s where your slipping; do better”; shit.
Nah, this is the same shit y’all did last time with Harris. You wouldn’t vote for a genocide apologist, so you’d rather have a pedophile, genocide accomplice and sociopath. Incredibly myopic.
Nah. I’d burn through every last one of you for whatever you have to offer that aligns with my goals, and take the wins over my enemies where I can get them. If that win means my enemy is destroyed and I have to fight you on the other side, we’ll deal with that when we get there. If the fight results in both of you destroying one another; fuck yeah, the path forward has been cleared.
You’re deliberately not walking the talk, because if you were, you weren’t be here discrediting the guy because of one thing you found problematic about him without considering the bigger picture.
Being asked to be a better human by treating your dog like it’s another living being instead of an object that has some reciprocal obligation to behave as you expect it to at all time just because you provide basic needs like shelter, food, and water isn’t asking that much. If you want to position yourself as a leftist voice, expect pushback when your personal actions don’t meet leftist standards. What’s dangerous is that any behavior that confronts him is immediately dismissed as “right wing attack”, “bad faith”, or “discrediting”. I’m not discrediting Piker’s entire platform, I’m calling him morally derelict on animal rights and humane human-pet relationships. Same goes for the people that want the behavior ignored short term because of the “bigger picture”. The big picture is the entirety of the people involved in it at every level. If you want leaders, activists, and allies that demand their personal behavior is beyond reproach as long as their message feels good, all you want is leftist populism.
And so you need to bring it up every time the dude is mentioned? Can you not refrain about this and bring it up when it’s not a distraction to cause a rift? Do you realize what you’re doing?
all you want is leftist populism
So what. Is that bad that we need to unite the left in one way or another? You’re keen on destroying a common cause in favor of some unrelated shit because mUh mOrElS. Shut up, you’re not helping.

You sound decidedly sociopathetic. Good job.
What happened to the suggestion I compromise now and deal with him later? Those are your words.
