I’m not gonna argue

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.

You are so fucking disappointing.

[–] HalfSalesman@lemm.ee 1 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

Being a doomer makes you complacent though?

If you think we're doomed, (like I kind of do) you lose motivation to do anything.

I don't want to be a fucking doomer I want people to convince me to stop being one and no one seems able.

The dread builds up anyway. Imagination takes over.

What if I don't like my neighborhood because its full of backwards morons?

[–] HalfSalesman@lemm.ee 3 points 2 hours ago

I did, before November 5th. A ton of shit. Didn't fucking matter.

Are you talking about eligible non-voters?

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.

Trump was elected not appointed.

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.

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.

Yeah dude, that’s how history works, people that are oppressed fight against unbeatable odds.

“If we can’t win I won’t even bother” is the exact reason that we can’t win.

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".

But mocking people that want to fight against genocide is siding with the genocide.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

I hate the democratic leadership as well. I can hate two groups at the same time. But I primarily hate them for losing to fascists and not taking the threat seriously. Much like I hate the non-voters for basically the same fucking reason.

The democrats thought that appealing to moderate republicans and centrists would siphon votes from Trump. This was obviously a stupid idea and I cringed as they did so and hoped that it wouldn't hurt them too bad in the polls. It obviously fucking did.

The thing is, they more or less admitted so at this point that their strategy was dumb as fuck and that Sanders was right all along.

There are still people who did not vote who are accelerationists, "apolitical", or think "democrats and republicans are identical" and my spite and hatred of those people is so incredibly intense. I hope they get exactly what they did not vote against. I resent that I've put effort where they choose not to and now expect me to continue fucking fighting after they let the difficulty level explode and likely doom the planet to a scorching hellscape.
