I have problems with people who abstained. The hard thing is, how do you change voter behavior?

Your downvote tears sustain me, not going to weasel your way out of being complicit in genocide. You went out of your way to consent to the corrupt state, and you refuse to tear it down. Everything that happens is your responsibility, regardless of which of your functionary parties are ruling. They all do the same thing and are on the same teamgame which is to perpetuate empire, capital accumulation and colonialism, only difference is strategy.
crashing out while no one is talking to you is so funny
Downvoting is communicating, just in a lazy coward way
Just like replying to a tangential topic to try and appeal to some high school level level value system instead of the actual content… There is always an audience online, and ‘posting’ is a way of communicating to everyone who reads it. Its more funny that you don’t know what a forum is or how it works, but you’re still trying to be clever lol no one here is actually ‘talking’.

It's a fundemental aspect of the medium, though. A bit of a stretch to call people cowards for interacting in the way the platform was designed around.
Reading comprehension is not your strong suit i take it….
Solely ‘downvoting’ with no expressed reasoning besides presumably being butthurt and as one person said ‘because it’s presented wrong’ is coward like. It was designed around comments, the vote system is one aspect and the least important one that, i don’t think you know what ‘fundamental’ means.
But, if it's not important, why are you so sensitive to it?
You are complicit, by your own logic.
Uhhh yeah…. We all are in more indirect ways, like in taxes and the products we support and use, which makes this look even more absurd to try and pass yourself off as innocent. Though some are more complicit than others…Some like to double down on it
The only tears here are from rolling our eyes too hard. You're being downvoted not based on the merit of the arguments you bring, but on how you present them.
Typical shitlib response… mUh DeCoRUm
you want some sugar on your shit sandwich?
Why would someone choose to interact with you to discuss the issue, rather than the dozens of folks in here saying the same thing but in a less tedious way? You bring nothing novel except perplexingly bad bait. Thats the whole point here.
So basically, you already knew what a shitlib you were…. You’re just looking for a way to feel good about it? Seems pretty typical for your condition actually
(I think you replied to the wrong comment here)
Nope
Double post then, maybe? It really doesn't make much sense contextually.
The fuk you asking me for? Lol you’re the one interacting with me. Sit down on the red couch an ill grab my notepad…
~~It is beautiful that you insta downvoted my response here. True chef's kiss moment.~~
Seriously though, if you can't recognize a rhetorical question why do you feel that your opinions on geopolitics are worth engaging with?

Its rhetorical because you don’t like the answer?
Because you’re just some random dork online in a lemmyverse who seems to mistakenly think they work at the state department, and your opinions on ‘geopolitics’ aren’t any better than anyone elses.
Also you’re just objectively stupid if you think OP is making a good point
