It's wild how many people seem to think that winning a revolution would somehow be easier than winning an election.
This is what I'm saying!! People keep being like "we can't possibly solve things through voting! That would involve massive organizing, getting everyone on the same page, making compromises and settling for less than perfection, and it would be subject to the influence of mega-wealthy donors and an opposition-controlled media environment! We just have to have a revolution so we don't have to deal with any of those things!"
And it's like. I'd be less annoyed about what are obviously people who are hurt and frustrated lashing out if they didn't act like I was a fucking fascist for saying "I don't think massive amounts of death and violence will help this situation, actually"
It's wild how many people think that ending segregation would somehow be easier than making facilities that are separate but equal
It's wild how many people think that striking for higher wages would somehow be easier than working harder to prove they deserve it
It's wild how many people think that destroying i*rael world somehow be easier than asking zionists to stop committing genocide
