Damn you really destroyed my comment there π
Sure sure.
Are you voting for genocide and climate apocalypse or genocide and climate apocalypse?
Congratulations. You have simplified complex politics too such a degree that it fits in your narrative. First off, I donβt vote in this case, because Iβm not American. Second, I still would vote for the person who didnβt try a fucking insurrection.
...but would vote for someone committing a genocide? I think your balance is a bit off there
Hey bro, you are aware of US Politics, right? You know that the US has always supported Israel, right???
Slavery was abolished in the US in the year 1865
People in 1864: "Hey bro, you are aware of US Politics, right? You know that the US has always had slaves, right???"
Also one minor nitpick, slavery is alive and well in the US, it was never abolished. You guys will figure it out some day.
True, it's still very much practiced in US prisons. Should've specified "officially" ig.
Prison slavery is very official. Itβs carved out as legal in the constitution, and it is pretty out in the open. The main thing is that we use a bunch of euphemisms to make the slavers and beneficiaries feel less bad about themselves, but they donβt hide it.
No worries, not my country either so I honestly don't know what I'd do in that situation. Third party probably.
Only real option in the US (and most capitalist countries tbf) is joining a leftist org outside the system that aims to take control over it altogether like FRSO or PSL imo. Aka educate, organize, agitate.
Capitalist political systems are designed to prevent any leftward movement (if anyone in power does try to, like JFK for wanting to abolish the CIA and giving an anti-colonial speech, they are assassinated and replaced), so working inside it is mostly meaningless. They can only shift further to the right.
Well said
Your*
Hey apparently I'm a part of your brigade. Do I get paid or something now? Maybe even just some hashbrowns?
You get to attend my little brigade party! :D
Yes there will be hashbrowns
Lol, what??
There was a little grammatical error you missed here friend
Dude! Dude!!!!!
Are you trying to tell that itβs actually βyour an idiotβ????
AHAAAHAAHAAAAA!!!!!!
Uhh that's not the part I quoted
"Everyone in this thread is an idiot but me"
Hahaha tell us how you really feel.
I feel like Iβm surrounded by idiots.
Hey at least we know where you got it from π«
I wouldn't know that sorry.
You're all a bunch of suckers. There is no side to avoid tyrrany. Six one way half a dozen the other.
Doesn't matter. Everyone will die by 2030 and that doesn't even count Nukes.
It'll take longer than 2030 but yeah pretty much.
Only if we do fucking anything to stop what we've already done and are doing at as massive an exponentially increasing rate.
You're wrong. If it ain't the baking this planet conduct then it'll be a virus, bio- or tech- cuz it don't matter, AI etc.
It would have to be global crop failure and famine followed by total nuclear war in order to achieve that. So maybe you're right, guess we'll see.
Nuke not necessary and we won't be able to see it cuz that kind of part of the definition of its occurance.
Fair enough
Everybody feels that way.
