My guess is the holidy season is when things start to ignite. That's when stress on the system hits the maximum, and when people start to realize that people who can barely afford food and shelter can't afford to do anything for the holidays. It will be hard to hide the recession at that point.
"Everything America does directly affects everyone else in the world. You only care now because of this. I cared before and that's why I did nothing to stop this."
The meme is the trolly problem, and this guy is saying "it doesn't matter if you pull the lever, someone dies either way, it's exactly the same!"
Except in the actual situation is more like "if you pull the lever the trolly will divert from running over group A and will run over group B. If you do nothing the trolly accelerates and runs over both groups A and B."
I'm saying it's worth pulling the lever while you work on a solution to stop the trolly. Someone arguing against that either doesn't care about group A, or cares more about not being involved than in actually saving lives.
Saying “but Trump will do more genocide” makes you sound like a fucking idiot.
Tell me you don't pay attention without telling me you don't pay attention.
“Not voting for someone who refuses to speak out on x is having an idealised moral high ground”
You cut off the rest of the sentence: "When the alternative will only result in more." Your problem is you fail at context, everything exists in a vacuum and has no affect on anything else.
he party is dead to me just like the Republicans. Two corpses fighting it out
On the corpse people are living on. Americans throwing up their hands and saying "both are dead to me" just accelerates the rot. In all these posts of people insisting trying to minimize damage is unethical I haven't seen a single one trying to push for an alternative or a fucking solution.
"Everything is bad and if you get involved in any way you are evil. If you are a good person then do nothing, that is how you stop evil from succeeding."
People don't want solutions, they want to bitch endlessly and have a horde of strangers agree with them. Then they can also bitch about nothing improving!
People in my life get the benefit of "are you looking for solutions or are you looking for empathy?" Randos on the Internet don't get to use everyone else as free therapists.
I installed Mint on my MIL computer. I did not have to spend time teaching her anything. People are able to switch from Windows to Apple no problem but for some reason Linux is
Isn't it funny how when a lot of people disagree with you it has become a hivemind, as opposed to a common consensus among individuals that you are wrong? What a fantastic term to avoid actually reconsidering your opinion or actually listening to someone else's point of view.
"Could there be multiple people who disagree with me?No, it's the hivemind who is wrong."
The entire world isn't genocide. If, for example, there isn't a genocide happening in England, and one starts in England, that would be more genocide than what is currently happening in the world. Seeing that and saying "the exact same amount of genocide is happening" just makes you sound like a fucking idiot.
Right, the person complaining about there being more genocide means they.... want genocide? What a useful thought terminating cliche you have there that gives you an excuse to avoid questioning if your own actions could have been better.
It’s genocide. It’s literally the worst possible thing you can do on this planet
You know what's worse than genocide? More genocide. I don't know how to simplify this further for you.
At what point did I say Democrats were fucking great? They are absolute shit and people need to stand up for something better.
You also need to live in fucking reality a realize that stopping things from getting a lot fucking worse is worthwhile while you work on trying to get something better.
Also, Republican's are the Nazi's here. You refused to vote against Hitler.
Cool, so you're just arguing things you don't believe and only admit to that when you recieve push back.
