It's so odd to be upset at people not voting and then deciding that you would rather just roll over and die than resist anything. Yeah dude, that's how history works, people that are oppressed fight against unbeatable odds. But mocking people that want to fight against genocide is siding with the genocide. "If we can't win I won't even bother" is the exact reason that we can't win. So many dumb Americans like yourself are ok with being completely pacified by neoliberalism, give zero shits about what happens to others, and then get upset at the people actually going outside and helping people.
Get your bull shit nihilism out of here. Don't shame people that didn't vote and then turn around and say you're just ready to roll over and accept fascism. Go enjoy the toys that pacify you then. Why spend time caring if people voted or not? Go watch Netflix and ignore politics.
HalfSalsman would be happy with Neville Chamberlain in office and claim since he gave the seat to Hitler, we can't do anything to stop him and should obey quietly.
Yep. It's the position of liberals throughout history. It's even worse now though since their are so many more "toys" to keep them pacified. Like as long as they can watch YouTube and eat Taco Bell they'd be ok with their neighbors getting shipped to GITMO.
I'll have you know I find Taco Bell disgusting and Youtube has gotten really boring.
And also my enjoyment of "toys" is still tainted with the knowledge that we're all fucked.
I try to enjoy some Skyrim? (Hey remember how the world is doomed, haha have fun playing this RPG) This is why I want a fucking lobotomy. I have considered drinking more.
To a degree that's probably why I'm even on lemmy. Being angry at you fucks vocally is letting me at least feel something other than horrible dread.
EDIT: I also want to specify: I WANT TO BE WRONG. I want you to convince me I'm wrong and dumb or whatever. Almost all I get is attacks on my virtue and character and I don't give a fuck. I want to care about life again. I liked not being a misanthrope. I want to go back. None of you are ever convincing that I'm wrong you just get pissy and tell me I'm a bad person.
You know what this tells me? That I'm right and that makes me really depressed.
