    You can’t vote in our election, so you’re trying to make sure the absolute worst happens in the US? You’re unwittingly helping to plot your own demise. That’s not helping anybody, that’s vengeance.

      Don’t forget the absolute worst happening in the Middle East, to the world’s climate policy, in Ukraine, and god knows where else. That will happen also.

      “Trying to make sure the absolute worst happens” HAHAHAHA. Don’t kid yourself. You think you’re so important with your little vote. You think I can affect your election? Laughable. I’m posting because I’m pissed off and it lets off steam, not because I am deluded by own agency.

        You could, instead, help post agitprop for change, lord knows we need it. Posting agitprop to make things even worse than the bad that they already are is not that.

          Get your head out of your ass. No agitprop will spark a revolution. No posting will. Stop deluding yourself with your own self-importance. Or my importance for that matter. I’m not “making things worse,” I am showing the truth and y’all can’t handle it. Y’all would rather vote for genocide, your own included. The revolution will not be televized or posted. I happen to do real good work but I don’t post about it and never will.

              The things I do have impact. Posting isn’t a priority. Though it clarifies who my enemies are, those who would not see genocide as a deal breaker.

                Sounds to me like you don’t see the climate apocalypse, mass deportations, accelerated genocide in the Middle East, use of nuclear weapons, and god knows what else, as a deal breaker. You’re fine with all of that, as long as you don’t have to contend with your greatest enemy: Voting.

                Much better for the power to simply accrue to whoever has the money and connections to accrue it, unmoored from an organized system to try to keep the voice of the people involved in the machinery of government. Sounds great. I hope you don’t have to witness the results in this particular election.

                I’ve learned as much as I want to about what you believe and have no interest in furthering this conversation.

                  • The climate apocalypse? That Biden doesn’t do shit about but gaslights us into thinking he does? Waiter, waiter! More drilling under Harris please!
                  • Mass deportations? Did Biden close the concentration camps? Nope. Kids still in cages, mass deportations still happening. Harris literally supports a stronger border (as if it isn’t lethal enough)
                  • Genocide? Harris supports it. You’re not voting for Palestine, you never were. Don’t kid yourself. You’re voting for your own comfort.
                  • Nuclear weapons? I’d like to see a candidate support decreasing the nuclear stockpile!

                  You’re a coward for deluding yourself that you’re voting for change when in fact you’re voting for your own comfort. You’re not voting for change, you’re voting for death that isn’t your own.

                    You need to tell the climate scientists all about how Biden didn’t do anything, they’ve got it all wrong.

                    https://www.vox.com/climate/362478/joe-biden-climate-change-legacy

                    You need to tell the immigration activists, too, they’ve also got it all wrong.

                    https://www.motherjones.com/politics/2024/10/trump-immigration-advocates-resistance-the-worst-scenario-mass-deportation-preparation-migration/

                    Harris seems okay with Israel’s genocide, which sure isn’t great. Trump wants to accelerate it and move it into new areas of the world. Even by the pretty bloodthirsty standard of US presidents, he’s unusually maniacal and bloodthirsty. And yet, you’re spending some of your finite amount of agitation-on-the-internet time specifically trying to get people not to resist him. Sounds like you’re fine with genocide, and I am not.

                    I’m not sure how you got it twisted around in your head that me not wanting someone who will accelerate the genocide, means I love genocide. Like I said, discrediting the idea of reducing harm because of an abstract concept and philosophy, is a privileged position, taken by a privileged person who isn’t in the firing line of the harm. Someone who’s actually being harmed will generally fight for every inch they can get.
