But he didn’t say a pro-genocide comment. He pointed out the Inuit communities are supporting fossil fuel jobs, according to your own story.

Why the fuck does a coffee maker have internet access?
What, you downloading porn with your fucking Keurig?
What the fuck is wrong with people.

Note that nowhere I said people should stop voting, it’s kind of crazy how that’s always a knee-jerk assumption.

Plenty of people on the left (even here on Lemmy) are telling me that by voting for democrats I’m “enabling fascism” or “voting for the people who gave us Trump.” What I haven’t seen from any of the people saying that is an explaination as to how we get the things we want by not voting. We do not have basic things that people in other countries have, like Universal healthcare for example. Even Mexico has universal healthcare now - and it didn’t happen by a “movement” of activists doing it on their own. It happened because people voted.

I’m just tired of this shit where when I vote for the opposition to the fascists, the people on the left turn around and blame me for the actions of the fascists I voted against. What kind of shit is that? If anything it’s the other way around - I actually tried to stop the god damned fascists, while they sat around and did nothing. If anything they’re more responsible for this shit show than I am, because they didn’t even try. God damn.

Edit: Not mad at you specifically @extrajudgement, just frustrated.

That’s dumb.

The problem is nobody on the left is actually doing those things. It’s almost like bitching about people on the internet has taken the place of actual activisim.
I want to have things like Universal Healthcare and a living wage and/or UBI before I die. That stuff isn’t going to happen by not voting. If “the left” were capable of achieving these things by not voting then we’d have them already.

I mean, Comic con is in San Diego. WTF.

Go ahead and invalidate my lived experience, you do you.

Projecting your lived experience onto an entire set of people you’ve had no personal experience with is the very definition of bigotry. Young people nowadays seem to understand this when it comes to race, sex, or gender, not so much when it comes to age.

Fuck you man

Fucking lol.
That’ll learn’em.

Maybe if nuclear power plants didn’t meltdown sometimes and render dozens of square miles uninhabitable to human life by scales measured in geologic time then Greenpeace would support them.

Well idk, most of the billionares are rich and white and old also. Meme still kinda fits.

I agree. Let’s put the blame where it actually belongs.

Minors don’t have the same rights adults do, especially when it comes to schools.

It’s because of 4chan

Well I hate to break it to you, but you’ll never truly stamp out fascist ideology permanently for the rest of time. It must be continously fought against. Every generation needs to be educated to oppose it, and when it takes power it needs to be stamped out and destroyed, with violence if necessary.

It isn’t naive kids playing nazi who are your enemy,

YES, IT IS. Because “naive kids” grow up to be full fledged fascist adults. I’ll give you an example: 4chan.

Yes, 4chan is the reason why we have all these nazis running around. But back in 2003 one could actually get banned from 4chan for being racist. Moot used to periodically go through and perge all those assholes because he didn’t want his website turning into a white supremacist hang-out. See all the kids today are too young to remember, but back in the day if you ran a website, or a forum, chatroom, whatever, it was only a matter of time before the nazis and white supremacists showed up. They would congregate at places that had minimal moderation (this is how Club Penguin became overrun with white supremacists.) Then 4chan went with a “containment” policy, to isolate all that shit to /b/ but by 2015 it was too late. The neo-fascist movement, the Groypers, Gamergate, Incels, the Men’s rights assholes, all those people wouldn’t exist if it weren’t for 4chan. That’s where white supremacy took root online and spread like a cancer through everything else.

Well how did this happen? Because a significant number of the 22 million people who frequent 4chan every month are children. They get to say edgy stuff and act all rebellious, and it’s all fun and games, until it isn’t. Now we’re at a point where white supremacy is so common that leaked group chats for the Young Republicans read like fucking Mien Kampf. I’ve already gone on too long, but I’m pretty sure you get the point I’m making about indoctrination and desensitation.

So yes, it is very much “kids playing nazi” who are the enemy, and the assholes encouraging them to play even more so.

The ruling class WANTS the slaughter, the boom, the crunch, the conflict, and the next slaughter.

Well once you figure out how to stop war forever please let me know, I’ll be the first to listen. But it ain’t by playing nice with fascists.

The way this is phrased infuriates me, because it’s disengenious bullshit that just so happens to remove responsibility for the people who couldn’t get off their behinds and do the absolute minimum to stop fascism. The Democrats did not “give us Trump.” They LOST TO TRUMP, because not enough people voted for them. These are not the same thing. They are Trump’s opposition. The reason why Trump got more votes than his opposition is because more people in this country are conservative (as well as the way the electoral college is set up.) The Democrats not being leftist enough is not the reason Trump won, he won because the country is full of rascists and people who only give a shit about politics when gas costs too much.

Yes, I did the one thing that actually could’ve stopped Trump, that is voted for his opposition.
I mean if you can’t even do that little then you have no business talking shit. Your handle is literally “Class Struggle,” maybe you ought to change that if you’re not going to actually engage in the struggle against the upper class.
The last fifty years have demonstrated to me that if I wait around for “the left” to get me universal healthcare, an end to war, or a living wage then I’ll be waiting forever.
So yes, I vote in every election, you know why? Because I actually want this shit to happen while I’m still alive.

Not sure who downvoted you, so please have this upvote

Man sounds like a hero

What did you guys do to stop Trump? Throw some soup on the Mona Lisa?

Which just proves Stark Trek is the real answer.
