Christian Nationalist LUNATIC1·3 months agoSee what they don’t get is that inflation only happens when ordinary people suddenly get money. That’s why trillions in quantitative easing didn’t cause inflation, because all that money went to the banks and corporations (i.e. the rich people.) Suddenly wages go up for the first time in decades and inflation goes wild. Go figure.

People don’t understand that if you’re at the point where your only option is protesting in the street then you’ve already lost. I’m sure the Palestinians really do appreciate us standing around with a sign for a couple of hours.
Maybe glue your hands to the pavement and stop traffic, that’ll really help them.

But then Trump went on TV with Netenyahu and said the United States was going to take over Gaza, kick everyone out, and develop it into expensive beachfront property.
I mean, that’s what actually happened.

Hawanja@lemmy.worldtoPolitical Memes@lemmy.world•Another day, another news article on how Trump turned out to be SO MUCH WORSEInterlingua2·6 months agoLet me spell it out for you: I voted. I vote. I will vote. No, I didn’t say I did, you just assumed I didn’t and went ape shit about it. Despite the added context in the rest of my post, and despite me asking you to consider that you might be missing something.
See, if you would’ve just said this all in the beginning we could’ve avoided all this. Because it sounded to me - and to any other rational person reading your post - that you were making excuses for not voting. That’s why I bolded the text “No, I didn’t say I did.” You did not say you voted, so how am I supposed to know you did? Am I supposed to read your mind?
Still, it seems a bit like you’re still not understanding how important it actually is, so I refuse to apologize. I stand by every word, and I use this as my rationale:
I also don’t tell others to vote or not vote. That’s completely up to them and it is not a goddamn reflection of their character.
When one of the candidates is a fascist who’s going to hurt people and destroy democracy, then not voting against them kinda is a reflection on your character. It shows you don’t care enough about other people.
Scratch a liberal and a fascist bleeds. You are a goddamn shit stain on society.
I like how I’m the fascist, when I’m the one actually doing something to try and stop fascists and not the one making excuses for those who didn’t
Hawanja@lemmy.worldtoPolitical Memes@lemmy.world•Another day, another news article on how Trump turned out to be SO MUCH WORSE11·6 months agoAnd you still didn’t read my original response.
I read it. I just don’t buy your bullshit excuse for not voting. That’s dumb. That’s like the kind of thing I would’ve said when I was an edgy thirteen year old.
Fuck you, you absolute piece of shit.
Hey, you’re the one who won’t get up off his lazy ass to go vote, not me. See what you’re not getting is that voting is not about you “Supporting a corrupt system.” It’s about you protecting the people you love. You have told me that you don’t give a shit enough to bother voting, so I must therefore come to the conclusion that there’s nothing and nobody you love.
It tells me you don’t care about justice, or the rule of law, or the economics of the downtrodden, or about giving people healthcare, or preserving the planet so they don’t live in a polluted shithole. These are all things that have a direct effect on your life, and the life of your wife, daughter, and grandchild -and by your inaction you’re complicit in allowing fascists to take power and create the policies governing these things. Like I said, who’s side are you on? Apparently you’re not even on your own family’s side.
You are an incurious, illiterate, spiteful, petty person who shouldn’t be engaging with others.
Hey I’m not sorry you got offended. Sounds like this is the first time anyone’s ever bother to tell you the truth about yourself.
The great thing about this country is that nobody forces you to do anything. Feel free to sit everything out if that satisfies whatever stupid corrupt moral requirements you’ve created for yourself. Just don’t try to pretend that you actually care about your country, your family, or anyone else if you can’t even bother to show up every four years to do the absolute minimum required to keep this country free.
Who’s going to fight in your violent revolution? You? We couldn’t even get all the people who voted for Biden to Vote for Kamala. Right now a large portion of African Americans are refusing to join the protest movement against encroaching fascism because Trump is somehow a “white people problem.” How do you think a revolutionary army or even an insurrection of sufficient strength to challenge the United States Government would ever take hold when there is zero solidarity among the left? We can’t even get people to vote in their own interest, let alone support a violent revolution. This is pure fantasy.
