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.
The time to act was on or before November 5th. And I did and I deeply resent the people who did not. I'll admit that its not a rational reaction, its just pure emotional rage.
We don't live in the fucking 1800's. Historical conflict has no parallel to what would happen in a civil war 2 in the US with today's military technology. It also was not necessary to make things harder in the first place as to make rebellion one of our few real options, unless you are delusional and wanted to drag people into it thinking "some of you may die, but that's a sacrifice I'm willing to make".
No its not. People can have a good cause but be completely ass backwards and stupid about how they go about fighting it. If I mock stupid people, I'm mocking them for being stupid, not their cause.
I am not "pacified" by neoliberalism. I want to be pacified. I want to become politically retarded but I'm annoyingly addicted to politics. I want to refuse to help people who made things worse for me. Ultimately I'll probably end up roped into helping anyway and build more resentment.
I will shame people for whatever I think is shameful. If you think nihilism is bullshit, you are delusional like most people. Go enjoy your pseudo-religious meta-narrative ideology.
I do not owe society or you anything, I did not choose to be born. I do not owe shit, I've not bred any other unfortunate souls into existence and I could off myself and be in the right to do so even if I was somehow important. I'm not saying I am, I'm not important. I'm just angry and bitter. I'll just admit that and am lashing out for catharsis.
I'm not accepting fascism, you have. You just don't know it yet.
You think you're smart and depressed. But you're just depressed mate. This comment is the ramblings of someone that has completely disconnected from reality. Get some help.
I'm not gonna argue against your depression.
You are so fucking disappointing.
I'm disappointing? Are you projecting? I'm not gonna argue with your depression mate. You're clearly not mentally capable of having this conversation.
That is why you are a disappointment to me.
I don't believe you actually think I'm not mentally capable, you're just calling me stupid because you dislike me. I do believe you don't want to continue arguing though.
