Also, in b4 fascists start pretending like the Stalinist bootlicker Thalmann hadn't spent the past half-decade backstabbing and burning bridges with the SPD, which had previously been cooperative with the KPD after the establishment of the Weimar Republic.

It feels like you don't understand the logic somehow.

They said "if you don't vote for athlete's foot, you'll get terminal cancer"

You said "if you do vote for athlete's foot, you'll later have to vote for terminal cancer"

Let's say that your logic is correct.

What you are advocating for is... getting terminal cancer now... so you don't have to vote to get it later...

Pretty fucking stupid take.

I’m saying that to argue that the election is not as important as people here seem to imply, because the big scary thing that will happen with Trump will happen anyways but it will be a democrat and a few years later. You (and other commenters) seem to think that electorialism is the only way to prevent ‘facism’, but I argue that you are already under a fascist government that is funding a genocide and forcing you to keep voting for them ‘or else’. I’ve repeated this same thing a lot in these threads but I’ll do it again: historically the only way to really change the course and to protect the human rights that are at stake/lacking currently is through strikes and civil unrest.

Lmao so you're straight up admitting to being an accelerationist. Glad we could get there together. You want things to get worse faster so that hopefully other people will rise up.

If you don’t know the difference between protesting and accelerationism then idk what to tell you. Trump winning the election wouldn’t be good for anyone.
