This will come as no surprise to any one given they are a .ml account, but now that they are attempting to discourage people from voting, they revealed their true face.

Edit: only now seeing they also post links to x.com still. I liked their content because I am anti genocide too, but it’s clear there’s a big the_donald vibe there.

I 100% stand behind everything I said in here. I actually can’t believe people need convincing trump needs to go. That alone should be the end of my patience discussing this, but I’m curious to explore this newly found type of leftist that has all the halmarks of extreme right wing trump supporter, except that they use it because they wish death to america.

I honestly don’t understand what’s bad faith about that. I believe in the power of democracy anywhere. When a state is close to failing, it’s democracy fails first. Happened in Russia, China, now India, USA is on the brink. Brazil hanging on by a thread. That’s it. Israel was always going to use a false flag to get an excuse to start a genocide. I have been to Xinjang province and seen the other genocide with my own eyes.

Voting to get a non trump supporting seat that can get under trumps skin in the senate in texas is the first step to try and restore faith in US democracy.

That’s my naivity, and that could very well be a neurological conditon. I’m for free speech. If you want to come in here and call me a removed or zionist, you do you, that doesn’t bother me, because I know and love myself, so it doesn’t affect me.

Why you are spending so much time defending a bunch of whataboutists that are clearly not caring about democracy or free speech is a bit strange.

    You can argue for electoralism without resorting to neoliberal "pragmatism."

    It sounds like you're encountering actual leftism for the first time. I get that it's hard to understand perspectives that you don't have the foundation for- there are countless books about all this, and you're approaching it like it's a monolith that shares the same foundation that your perspective is built on but simply holds a different conclusion.

    I feel like in order to help you understand, I'd have to explain all of leftism and philosophy: Reformist vs revolutionary approaches; pragmatism vs idealism; consequentialist vs virtue vs deontological ethics; electoralism; praxis... I think if you actually want to understand then you should first seek understanding of the foundations that these opinions/perspectives are built on.

    Correct, and we don’t have that kind of time Gary.

    So simply either join me in my attempt to help Americans get rid of their head pedophile. One step at a time.

    You know who else doesn’t have time to read stacks of books: every american voter. They are under water, trying to survive. They don’t have to vote, it’s not compulsory. So focus on the task ahead.

    I’m sure you’re a great philosopher and someone amazing to have deep conversations with over a cup of tea at a library, but here in the real world, we have a fledgeling democracy on the brink of collapse, and if we don’t try to hang on to saving it, I doubt we will even be able to have conversations on this very platform for much longer. They control a lot of what we take for granted and there are some really incredible people there (just as there are in palestine, china, russia, ukraine, and I suppose even in Israel)

    In today’s america, for this election, I’d be very surprised if you are the single person who can find a pathway to do this without the dreaded pragmatism.

    This is the main argument for vanguardism, and why I vote(d) PSL (there's PSL drama going on now)

    I'm not a reformist. I don't believe that electoral pragmatism can get us out of this, and I'm not interested in putting in effort toward maintaining the status quo, as that's counter to my goals

    Literally been explained multiple times.

    When a state is close to failing, it’s democracy fails first. Happened in Russia, China, now India, USA is on the brink.

    Lmao. It been scientifically proven that the US hasn't been a democracy for decades, if ever. It's beholden to the minority elite with unlimited power and wealth to influence elections.

    democracy fails first. Happened in... China

    Lmfao.

    You really need to look for news and trustable sources from outside the western sphere of influence sometime.

    I have been to Xinjang province and seen the other genocide with my own eyes.

    What did you see?

    restore faith in US democracy.

    LMAO
