Fuck that. Saying empires are inevitable is a lot like saying fascism is inevitable. Maybe it’s true but you shouldn’t identify with the thing and make it’s purpose your own

I agree and that’s why I am not the one pretending voting is the reason for the system we have. People who blame voters will end up concluding that democracy is a mistake.

And to think I saw this picture for the first time because she wants us to stop talking about it

Honestly it helps me understand what kind of peace you are talking about. Property is a very personal thing for people because of the lack of peace. But consider me awake and listening. Any book or media recommendations?

You make it sound like democracy was a mistake

Praise Allah for killing the petro dollar though

Are we borrowing “I’m right because they cancelled me” from the Alt-Reich now?

You talk of peace but leave out justice because violence is how laws are enforced. Wake me up when you start preaching that private property is violence because until then this is just hypocrisy.

Tbf, Harris and Walz came out swinging. In the beginning they were calling JD Vance weird, but then Biden’s staff took over and wanted a more conciliatory tone.

Yes, the majority are fine with Trump burning things down over the current two party choice. That’s what democracy has informed is the case. It’s so idealistic reasoning to think it would have happened any other way.

Anyone who thinks they can debate voters into voting for someone they don’t like after saying all that is also a complete moron. I would never question your intelligence so I assume this is simply to feel better about the situation.

It’s one of those “every accusation is a confession”. People are thinking about themselves when talking about others.

While I agree in not surrendering any power through inaction, voting is not the only say you get. There’s 100 other things one could do as well that could make things less shitty.

It’s what Kirk would have wanted RIP

They write the rules and we use it as an excuse to not escalate.

What I find interesting is how we abstract away the actual work needed to keep either scenario running reflects how billionaires justify their own extremes. The heat death being a most extreme example as there is no “spare” energy for other organism to be conscious. The uploaded consciousness is detached from reality, living in a dieing universe, and still insists it has a right to exist at the cost of new venues of consciousness.

We can probably simulate a snail but me killing that wouldn’t make my wife scream at me for killing a snail.

I saw one of his heads which seemed to have a fatal wound, but his fatal wound was healed; and the entire earth followed after the beast in amazement.

Blaming voters is just another way of wishing reality was different. Lots of people are telling you exactly how they are going to act but you are asking those without power to accommodate those with power. That’s a choice and it says a lot about how you perceive power and it’s authority.
