    Yeah, people need to stop condemning plaestinians for resisting genocide.

    Oh this is about voting lol.

    You know, this shit is frustrating. Imagine every day everyone has to vote whether 10 people in lets say a group of 30 will be hit with a bat 4 times or 5 times, and everyone else gets hit once.

    And you talk to the other people, and say “we have to stop these people hitting us with bats or we’re all going to die” and they respond with “but you’re going to vote for those people to be hit four times, right? Getting hit 5 times is much worse! We have to devote all our time and effort to making sure the 4 times option wins!” And of course they’re one of the people who only gets hit once either way.

    I can’t believe I escaped Reddit just to fall back in the same political controversy here as well x-x

      I feel like it shouldn’t be controversial to say that the party currently supporting and funding a genocide while boasting about how they will implement Trump’s fascist boarder policy more effectively and more fascistly is not fundamentally different to the one these smug dipshits crow about being the greatest threat to “democracy” or whatever the fuck.

        Welp I totally regret commenting my opinion absolutely didn’t think someone would jump and tell me something about politics, anyway you’re correct I respect your opinion about this, the Us should spend their money on shit that helps them or contributes to the world, funding a war that been on for a 100 years and still no hope of it ending anytime soon is similar to a person burning their salary to revive a mythical creature that they read in a book or some shit, please no one comments on my comment anything political otherwise I will delete and start blocking instances, the whole war is stupid and anyone contributing anyhow other than a Real solution to end it is not far from stupid, and the stupidest is the ones who kept the war going for 100 years of failure (if you’re too dumb and couldn’t invade it just give up and let go all history’s smart nations been there and chose the smart decision of “if didn’t succeed the first time give up or get your needs politically by playing the long term game”.) all this Bs escalating to giving me headaches from these political posts.

    Garbage post. There aren’t two sides to vote for, there is one.

    I ain’t fucking voting in bourgeois elections no matter how much libs try to brow beat me online for it.

    My time and all of yours is better used to actually help your and our communities. You should just stay on reddit with this smug bullshit.

    Both sides ARE bad. The trick is to use critical thinking and realize that one side is “stupid and misguided” bad and the other is “literal nazi, genocide against minorities, and also very stupid” bad.

    “The son of YOUR president took a single bribe and showed his ding dong on the internet, my president rapes women, lies about his finances, commits fraud and incites an insurrection! See both side are bad!”

      I find it interesting that the hamas Israel conflict has become such a political issue. Support of Israel in general, yeah religiously charged. But Hamas did start the attack and do a ton of fucked up stuff. SO many hostages including Americans. Israel is an oppressive government and from a distance seems systemically racist not just overly defensive. I just feel like this is a more nuanced issue

    Can’t we start a ‘We all suck’ movement. There are shitty people of all races, genders, ethnicities, religions, or whatever. Once we all embrace that we can all evolve and work against them.
