you don't even know what the "far left" wants, do you?

As far as I can see, the communist (the left-right political spectrum is a dumb model) message to America is "some of you may die, but it's a sacrifice I'm willing to make." And I understand why they feel this way, but they should not expect us to accept death without even using the meager power over it that most of us do have.

people are already dying man. over in your country and in the middle east and more. your country is already burning books and putting children to work. your fascists are already armed.

the message is look through that pathetic theather that was put for all the world to see. its a mockery at this point, fascism already took power long ago.

if you guys don't actually say enough is enough things will never stop spiraling, and the longer you wait the harder it will be on everyone.

There’s a difference between “far left” and far left.

[-] umbrella@lemmy.ml -1 points 4 months ago

there is not.

unless you are talking about revisionists but i doubt you have that much of a nuanced take here.

So in other words, you’re saying the the MAGA bots that are using the far left’s outrage to urge people not to vote against their boy… are identical to the people that are urging people to not vote out of protest to the genocide in Gaza?

That’s quite an interesting thing to admit publicly. I’ll have to change my stance on how I deal with their propaganda from this point on.

[-] umbrella@lemmy.ml 0 points 4 months ago

you can kick and scream all you want, fascism was never in history stopped by voting.

[-] JimSamtanko@lemm.ee -1 points 4 months ago

Cool little anecdote there. Now show me an instance in history where not doing something created desired change?

Strikes don’t count because in this case, NOT voting doesn’t cancel an election.

[-] umbrella@lemmy.ml 0 points 4 months ago

nobody is advocating doing nothing here

[-] JimSamtanko@lemm.ee -1 points 4 months ago

Don’t be naive man. There are tons of people advocating doing nothing. Open your eyes.
