I’m not with this whole left vs right ideaology

said like everyone who has strong views but no real understanding

Lol I understand it perfectly its just dumb and needs to change. I will participate in the system but I strongly disagree with everything and will continue to voice my anger and disagreement with the fucking world. I vote, I strike, I volunteer, I go to city planning meetings for god sake. I know what im talking about, I'm trying to make a change dude.

This constant squabbling over things that really dont matter in the end is fucking insane. We all see the politicians promise the world and deliver nothing yet we continue to play the game. The amount of times they have proved corruption is part and parcel of the system should be enough to tell you what they really want. I am just trying to point out there is another way. We dont have to play the game they dictate.

What is ignorant and sadly very human is assuming this is it.

Don't worry about convincing them. Use their assumptions and knee-jerk left/right/whatever reactions to reign them in and point them somewhere useful.

If they fight you, they'll have to get to know themselves to fight back effectively.

I strike

Where do you strike that is ambivalent to the left/right divide.

With the indigenous people of my country we dont see the government as end all like you

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 months ago (1 children)

then you do not understand what a government is, what is does, nor the power it holds

[–] [email protected] -2 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Yeah I do doesnt make it right

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 months ago (1 children)

no you don't, because any form of society begets a government once you need to make rules, and i assure you, that every single group of people above like 50 had some form of government going on, because even without government, you just get the warlord government of who is strongest

[–] [email protected] -2 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Dude I'm not saying having a governing body of some sort is stupid I'm saying our current system is and of course people above 50 had a government wtf are you talking about. Also those 50 year olds were OK with murdering 1000s maybe 10000s of native children and then sweep them under a school thats the government I'm fighting

[–] [email protected] 0 points 6 months ago (1 children)

that 50 was not an age, it was a number of people.

thats the government I’m fighting

but you aren't, and unironically can't because you don't even know what you are fighting.

what you are doing is equivalent to trying to remove the definition of genocide to fight genocide

[–] [email protected] 0 points 6 months ago (1 children)

I know what I'm fighting and its bigger then all of us and I will never attempt tonerase genocide that happemed we did that not too long ago and it needs to be shouts from the rooftops idk about you but I'm tired of the whitewashing and tires of western fucking problems its disgusting what we have our politicians fighting over while they actually fuck the world you me everyone is complacent in genocide as we speak

[–] [email protected] 0 points 6 months ago (1 children)

you realize that government =/= genocide... right?

like I said, you don’t even know what you are fighting.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 6 months ago (1 children)

I agree with that statement lol you dont know who you are following

[–] [email protected] 0 points 6 months ago (1 children)

see, there you do it again, you are conflating the idea of government with a specific government

[–] [email protected] 0 points 6 months ago

No I'm not you are just purposely interpreting my words how you want to hear them. you said the exact same thing to me about who I am fighting.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 months ago

No Winston you have to pick a side. Haven't you heard?
