LAMF means supporting someone saying they’ll do a thing, incorrectly assuming they’ll do the thing only to others and not you(r [collective]), without the someone having explicitly stated such.
Then when the thing IS done to you (r collective]) as well, the LAMF is confirmed by them complaining that it was, or acting surprised that it was.
If you support someone when they promise to do something, then they DON’T do it, that’s literally as far from LAMF as you can be.
I think I get what you mean. You’re saying that lying to people saying you are going to help them, them assuming it is true, and then you not doing so doesn’t include the part that it is supposed to hurt others if I understand correctly, right?
So this is just a standard lie of not helping people who thought their community would be safer with this pedophile ring exposed and off the streets.
Yeah, LAMF is the phenomenon of ‘I voted for X to be done, but because I assumed it’d be done to others, not me’.
As in ‘I voted for the Leopards Eating Faces party, but I didn’t expect them to eat MY face!’
A politician not doing what they promised to do is not LAMF.
But, for example, voting for someone because they said they’ll cut funding from wasteful government programs, and then complaining when funding is cut from a wasteful program that you were utilizing, is textbook LAMF.
This is literally the opposite of LAMF.
