[–] davidagain@lemmy.world 1 point 2 years ago (1 child) Ah yes, let the fascists win the election rather than voting against them, which would "endorse" them somehow. Great leftist logic there. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] db0@lemmy.dbzer0.com [S] 3 points 2 years ago* (1 child) Mate, you lot have been "voting the fascists out" for the past 80 years and they've only been growing stronger to the point where you're about to get fascism in multiple northern nations (never mind the looming climate apocalypse) . Surely you must know what they call ones who keep doing the same thing and expect different results. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Zorque@lemmy.world 0 points 2 years ago (1 child) Mostly because people like you refuse to participate because you'd rather be "above that sort of thing". You won't change shit by being an outlier. You won't make a difference by refusing to participate. Telling everyone that the system stinks and you're going to go make your own is how you get hundreds of systems that have no effect on anything. You want to make change? Stop being an island unto yourself and work with other people. You don't have to work with fascists, but you will have to work with people you don't see as "good enough". Because otherwise all you are is a drop in a very big ocean. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] db0@lemmy.dbzer0.com [S] 2 points 2 years ago (1 child) Who says we're nor working? Just because we don't participate in the electoral farce? The only progress you've seen is from people like us who take direct action instead of mindlessly taking a performative action every couple of years. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Zorque@lemmy.world -1 points 2 years ago (1 child) Really? Because, as you say, we haven't seen any progress thus far. Doesnt seem to be working for you either. Of course, its clearly everyone else's fault that your ideas don't work. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] db0@lemmy.dbzer0.com [S] 1 point 2 years ago The 8 hour day and 5 day week and the removal of child labor begs to differ. permalink fedilink source parent
