literally why is gerrymandering legal. why is america the stupid idiot country.
ndiamichelle:
This could be counterproductive if people actually vote. Everywhere. We can blame the system and politicians all we want but if people don’t get off their ass to vote correctly or just vote in general that would probably solve a good chunk of our problems.
furryprovocateur:
enthralled at the interpretation of the world you have. the best way to vote out a system that exists to suppress votes and bottleneck specific populations from being heard is to vote harder. tell me more.
toloveviceforitself:
There’s a certain kind of democrat whose whole politics is basically “if the entire population just acted in a way they’ve never acted before on a level that borders on the miraculous, we could win without changing anything else about how democrats govern or campaign!” and they think that’s not only a useful insight, but a good justification for rejecting literally any alteration of their ideology, their strategy, or even suggestions that (on the occasions they have power) they alter the rigged system that requires such miracles in the first place.
Wait till you hear how different people have to act for a revolution to happen!
Yep. One of my
pet peevessources of blood pressure increase is leftists who dodge individual action, as if The Glorious Revolution willmanifestemerge out of the world like the AI bros waiting for AGI. As if networks, movements, organizations, aren’t made of people. As if extraterrestrials would drop in to do it for us. Here’s a thing: people don’t like organizing around and following hypocrites and selfish bastards. And being a selfish bastard also makes one vulnerable to blackmail from the rich and powerful (being compromised).Okay but I’m a posadist, so I do believe literally that aliens will drop in and do it all for us.
Also, idk where you’re from, but hypocrites and selfish bastards are pretty normal here. Everybody’s favorite leaders.
I mean for a revolution, not for being stronger assholes. Leaders in movements against capitalism and conservatism (hierarchy).
Yes that’s what I meant.
Whether reform or revolution, nothing will happen without a great deal of organizing and leadership.
So, uh, those of us who are more aware of these realities should probably go get involved with something irl.
But in ways they’re pretty prone to on other scales
i mean yes, but also the usa has insanely low voter participation.
Did db0 defederate from hexbear or vice versa? None of their posts show up in my feed anymore and I can’t see any of the linked communities or comments from this post
sounds like an upgrade to me ngl
“Waahhhh I can’t handle seeing posts I disagree with so no one else should either”
If this is your reaction to seeing posts you disagree with, maybe you do need to stay defederated
- I’m not them
- its a commentary on advocating for censorship of content that is not harmful, just that you personally disagree with, which is reprehensible
- u a weenie
Thank you for… proving my point further?
The points of you at either end, that kind of pucker like a convex asshole, because of being a weenie? I would say they only pointed them out, and not conclusively proved them to any high standard.
This comment seems really uncalled for. Number list format in 2025, filling it out to make three? So tacky. I have to side with the other weenie now just on pure style points. Fuck you for making me do this.
I feel 0 remorse on using a numbered list. Why would that possibly be something that becomes outdated based on year? Does an efficient ordered presentation of data become passé because, I don’t know, some fucking dorks decided it’s lame or whatever
I don’t even care about whatever the original post was about. I will die on this hill
Shit llm’s do.
Unless one of them is doing it in some way that bypasses the built-in lemmy instance block it looks like a you problem, they appear in each others’ linked instances lists.
Since posting this comments now appear but communities still don’t show in feed and manually browsing they show as empty
Very well could be on my end but I don’t know what. I don’t have anything blocked or whatever. Weird
No, though I can’t either from anarchist.nexus, might be some federation shenanigans.
Edit: I can see comments though, just not seeing communities at the moment.
Dunno, I can see hexbear comments and posts
‘A certain kind’?
Cool, but… What do we do? What’s an alternative solution?
Anarchism. Direct action for mutual aid.
Of course there’s a ready-made, detailed FAQ list for anyone who asks that question. I don’t know why I didn’t expect that.
I can’t promise I’ll read all of that, but then again if I can’t read up on something then maybe I should stop publically calling things into question. Thank you for taking the effort to provide this information.
