It's bad faith to think that politicians don't actually care what the people want! If you want a policy like healthcare or not doing another genocide you just have to convince enough people and the politicians will respond!

Christ what world are these people living in.

If you believe voting is the ultimate form of participation any actual reasonable thinking person would understand that withholding your vote from reprehensible poo poo is the only lever you have! If they can take your vote for granted because they are half a pubic hair better than the others they have no incentive to ever give people what they want! They will only ever try to move right to get more people who will VBNMW!

This is incredibly obvious poo poo!

Oh well, I guess we can try to change the Nazi party from the inside!

Part of what convinced me to stop posting there was the realization that "the mods not only tolerate DV, but consider him a good and valuable poster."

I tried to put myself in the mindset of someone who would think this, and realized that no communication is possible with such a person.

there’s a certain pleasure in knowing you’ve been read, both in the agreement you may receive, as well as the angry denunciations, which are themselves a kind of endorsement depending on how you feel about the person doing the whining

This is another reason not to engage. There were a couple times I typed out a reply to a post, and realized that it would just be seen as "wacky tankie flailing because he was owned too hard" and decided against it.

Yes, they live for being the calmest Hitler rational centrist in the room. Even, maybe especially when that means supporting a genocide. Just making tough choices!

BLM protests were literally beaten down and shot at by the police in this country. Stop Cop City is considered a terrorist organization.

China embraces its minority cultures and lifts them up.
