    I’m not looking to legitimize settler colonialism, I’m looking to abolish it. Your so-called democracy should not exist in the first place, since it was built with the blood of indigenous and people of color.

    The United States is a terrorist state, and voting will never change that.

        I’m not American.

        it’s cute that you though I was talking just about the United States there. no, I also meant whatever fucked up little self-rightous democracy you’re from as well.

        The lesser evil is still less evil.

        the lesser of two evils is still evil. maybe you’re the kind of shitstain that figures it’s ok to vote for Diet Evil just because they’re targeting a minority you don’t like, but I’m not going to compromise on my morals just because it doesn’t affect me personally.

          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.

            yes, I positively celebrate fascists getting killed, and I prefer it to be as brutal as possible. I absolutely agree and admit to that.

            keeping the system alive is furthering the suffering. you’re doing no less harm than trump is, you right-wing appeasing clown. get off your knees and start actually doing something to end the suffering.

              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.

                I did vote, shitstain, in every election that I’ve been old enough to participate in. I also vote in my local elections.
                wanna try again?

                see above, liberal.

                Have you actually done anything besides shitposting?

                I don’t fed post.
