Edit: yes, it was a poor title initially. I removed POV from title

    The most juvenile sort of critique is to blatantly cast your own faults upon your target. When people say that Trump would destroy the US they mean he and his followers have promised to end democracy, put down any dissent with the military and round up tens of millions of your neighbors and put them in camps. They are speaking plainly.

    What does it mean to say that Biden/Harris/Obama are “destroying” the country. Do you mean there are too many brown people working at the meat packing plant? Do you mean the imaginary crime wave which isn’t borne out by stats? Do you mean the fact that gay folks are opening talking about loving one another and getting married.

    Where does this destroyer come from and what is his aim and methods?

      They’re an .ml user. They’re an accelerationist. They aren’t saying destroying America is a negative. They’re saying it’s a positive. I don’t know how they suspect Harris to be the harbinger of doom, but they’re opinion isn’t really considered at all, so there’s no sense in wasting time trying to figure it out.
