Ah crap I'm dead. Should have known. Arguing with you felt like purgatory after all.

Hey, it's me! I made that comment! And I stand by it.

Not a lib though.

I don’t fed post.

So "no", got it.

As a part of at least one of those minorities: fuck you!

You let me know why you thought not filling out a slip of paper was more important than the lives of my brothers and sisters.

Good news! I am doing something! I'm an active part of a vehemently anti-fascist party in my country! And I'm proud to say that we've been passing actually progressive legislation and being the stop-block against a slide right.

How about yourself? Have you actually done anything besides shitposting?

If you'd fight in the revolution, but not fight in the revolution and cast a vote, I seriously question your commitment to the fighting-in-the-revolution part.

Seeing as you have not done that yet, it would appear that voting would be, well, more than you have done :) How do you justify your complacency and subjugation to the system you pretend to loathe?

Whenever I read a comment such as yours, I get the distinct impression that you actually relish the thought of causing suffering.

You self-glorify through the thought of "Well I did not support this system! If everyone was like me, this would all be solved!" - it's so easy, right? All those people experiencing additional suffering because you are too lazy to cast a vote sure are grateful to you for sticking to your principals, heroically practicing non-participation in a system built on suffering by... furthering that suffering. Hey, wait a minute!

I don't even know why I am writing all this out. Chances are you are either a troll, a bot, or simply so deeply misguided that nothing I say could possibly reach you.

At some level though, you must know that making it easier for fascists to seize power actively hurts what you claim to stand for. You could always move the needle a little by voting, and still do whatever you believe needs doing beyond that; those are not mutually exclusive.

I'm not American.

The lesser evil is still less evil. Not voting actively makes your goals more unattainable.

Lmao I kept thinking you forgot to put quotes and was waiting for the inevitable "...this is what too many idiots think, even though it is obvious bullshit", and yet it just...never came. Amazing. This might be the single most stupid comment I've ever read, and I've been on the internet for a while.

Ok, but not voting is harm increasement.

You will simply not be able to install anything, unless the FOSS dev is cool with providing their ID to Google, and agrees to its ToS, and Google likes the app and signs it.

Which many devs (myself included) will definitely NOT be.
