  • Sure, and I'm glad that makes you feel better, but when both options are don't do the thing its doesn't really matter that one is worse does it? Both are unacceptable, and a real solution needs to be created.

  • Capitalism is a global problem, its not contained to america. Replace neighbors being kidnapped with which ever country you're in supporting a genocide and it still fits, and is likely accurate unless you're like in Yemen.

  • Is there any social media without memes and US politics?

  • That is social media. Try downloading a news app instead. I'm considering the same

  • Yall will hate me for it, but porn games should have never been on the main launcher. That's just asking for trouble. Steam should have a secondary launcher that is just for the adult games, and keep the two seperate. This shit wouldn't be happening if these games hadn't been so accessible to people not looking for that in the first place.

    Also lets be honest, some of the shit is over the line. There shouldn't be multiple "Sex with Hitler" games, because as ridiculous as that sounds, normalizing Nazis and Hitler is a fucking virus that does so much fucking harm when spread. Its not just a "silly joke".

  • Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez defends decision to support military aid for Israel

    Jump

  • The US doesn't need its own troops there if the IDF acts on their behalf and they get to claim deniability. There's only a thin veil of secrecy, you can see through it in the ridiculous ways they've been allowed (and supported) in infiltrating US politics. Hell you can't even be a school teacher in Texas without pledging support to Israel.

  • Immigrants might be in camps, but at least you 3rd party/nonvoters have your sense of moral superiority!

  • Thats where you stop considering apparently, instead of accepting the grim reality that voting isn't going to save us as neither party wants to and that we need to do the actual, hard work of forming a new party and demanding more.

  • So proud!

  • Unironically, thats how I feel explaining things when I get excited, and I kinda like being a kid excited about sharing something. Because either I get to share something I find really cool and you hopefully do too, or you already knew about it and maybe know more than me and I can learn something more about the thing I'm excited about. But mansplaining does imply a level of condescension that I really fucking hope I don't come across as.

  • We have a right wing and a centralist party, we need a left workers party, not 2 more centralists between the center and the right. That'll just be 2 more right wing parties

  • More than that, Isreal is basically a forward opperating base of the US in the middle east. They're just the US with Groucho Marx glasses on, our sock puppet for genocide and imperialism.

  • Exactly. Remember this when people claim we can turn the Democratic party with progessive candidates. The progressive candidates are the ones always turned by the Dems, not the other way around. It's their MO.

  • They are humans like anyone else and they should never be placed on a pedestal or treated like they're above criticism for being on your team.

    Then stop doing that. You have to hold them on a pedestal to even consider them on your team, since their actions speak much louder than words

    The both sides are the same argument denies the reality that voting in your best interest and gaining incremental progress for society is a better alternative than sitting by while the world burns around you.

    You fundamentally misunderstand. What you are arguing for is sitting around while the world burns, while feeling like you did your part for merely voting. What I'm saying is that voting is not enough, especially when the people you have to vote for don't actually want to make things better, and even under their control shit gets incrementally worse, not better. So sitting around and just handing your vote to the people who aren't helping, especially when they know they'll get your vote just for being slightly better than the other guy, is actually doing less than nothing. Politicians have to earn your vote, thats the foubdation of democracy. When politicians don't have to earn your vote because you'll vote for them by default, they're not actually concerned with doing anything for the voters. That's not Democracy.

    Saving your support for an infallible leader who checks all your boxes, gains power and rescues society while somehow appeasing the majority and yet never compromising or screwing up something important, is a fantasy at best.

    Thats a huge straw man. Just because all options are currently fucked and not worth standing with doesn't mean you need an infalliable one to be acceptable. Just that the current ones are far below acceptable. "I don't want to eat either entrees you brought me, because they're both piles of dog shit, even if one is filled with razor blades." "Nothing's good enough for you man unless its a perfect 5 star 5 course meal and you're gonna starve unless you eat the dog shit". You see how absurd that thought process is? It comes from fear.

    Not to mention that ELECTIONS AND POLITICIANS WILL NOT SAVE US. It's not about voting in just the right way, we have to go out and demand, its the only way rights have EVER been won. Voting is just scratching the surface of political activisim, but its treated like the be all end all and people use it as an excuse to not do the real work.

    government is composed of people. People are flawed. If you're looking to flawed people to create your ideal society rather than strategizing how to do the best you can with what you have in front of you/working towards an improved future, you're going to be spinning your wheels for all eternity waiting to be rescued.

    This one is what you're advocating for though, just voting for not only flawed people, but people working activley against you, all while sitting back like you did your part for checking a box on a ballot.

    Out of curiosity though, what is your ideal government/who is your ideal leader, worthy of your support? Who can you point to as an example of "that person/government that got it all right, and if we could just have a government or politicians more like them, everything would work itself out."

    Edit: Surely somebody must come to mind? Bc if not this whole post kinda seems like a lot of bullshit

    Yes your post does kinda seems like a lot of bullshit, but I'm still happy to take time to explain. There isn't an example yet, we need to demand better, that's my whole point. Merely voting in politicians and trusting them to fix everything isn't going to work, there's no winning that way. I dunno what goalpost shift you are attempting, but just beacuse I'm accuratley pointing out that our current system and represntation is far from actually working for the people doesn't mean I have to have a fully flushed out and perfect example of an alternate for my critisms to be valid. That's ironically what you were trying to accuse me of about "saving support for an infalliable leader", but is actually your projection.
