    And that unwillingness to engage in silliness is how we fucking got the fascists burning the country down. Good thing people chose to be “serious” instead 🙄

      it has nothing to do with unwillingness. it’s simply part of my survival as a trans abolitionist to refuse voting for trans and Palestinian genocide such as what the Democrats are enacting in collaboration with Republicans

        So instead you allow worse through tacit support.

        Yeah, yeah, yeah, I’ve gone through this song and dance before. I believe that electoralism has its place to minimize the harm to society, but plenty of others would rather hide behind their morality instead of supporting a bad candidate in the face of guaranteed worse outcomes.

        as a trans abolitionist to refuse voting for trans and Palestinian genocide

        The trans genocide is explicitly pushed by the people that were voted into power by 1/3 of the country and co-signed by another third who couldn’t be bothered to vote. I voted against it to protect my trans loved ones, and it baffles me that trans people wouldn’t even vote in their own best interests.

        But I’m not going to bother engaging past this, as we both know how this conversation is going to go. Good day.

            Enjoy your real trans genocide then, I guess.

            Sure the entire political system is being dismantled and nobody has to vote next time around, but at least you didn’t vote for a genocide that is only getting worse because you didn’t.

              They gotta huff that copium so they don’t have to think about how their inaction helped turn a made up blue trans genocide into a real red trans genocide.

              I almost find it hilarious how unhinged the far left is, but the hellscape we get to live in takes away all the humor short of the gallows.

                I am someone that most people would call a far leftist. Accelerationsim is the most dumb political position to have and I think anyone who follows it is a bad person.

                  Agreed. I probably paint the far left with too broad a brush, but I get so fucking sick of the far left accelerationists pretending like they give a fuck about anything other than destroying shit.

              oh there’s nothing more beautiful about the trans experience than being blamed for your own murder because you weren’t nice enough to the cis people complacent in it

                I am trans. I blame people like you for in part causing it to get worse for people like both of us.

                  and I blame shitlibs for normalizing supporting a transphobe like Kamala for being the “lesser evil”. the same lesser evil that when asked what she’s gonna do about trans rights said she’s gonna follow the law

                    I do too. But there were only two viable options and the main third one was aiming to make sure the less bad option didn’t get in. If I have to choose between genocide or genocides I’m going to choose the former every single time.

                I said nothing about being nice. I said you should take action. All people should take all possible actions they reasonably can to prevent this kind of shit. That includes voting. Being complacent is not an option.

                  there’s nothing more offensive about the liberal mindset than assuming that anarchists not voting are inactive. most of your actions are inspired by our tactics so stfu

                    Right, yeah, I am a liberal, Of course. I am a cis, heterosexual liberal who does nothing but tweet and whose only effective political action is voting once every two years. I believe that we should never do anything but vote, which is exactly the sentiment I expressed in my comment. I said “we should vote and only vote and do nothing else because the market will solve itself and the system would function perfectly if only we were to participate”. These are my words, and they are what I believe. Yes. Very much so. Very much so.

                    My actions are inspired by the tactics of smart active anarchists because I am a liberal and not an anarchist and I assumed you were inactive because you did not vote rather than assuming you missed one of the venues of activism that is exceedingly easy to reach. Because I am a liberal.

                    There’s nothing more naive than prepubescent anarchists.
                    Sure let’s kill every semblance of order and pretend it will all self regulate in the end. Just like the free market does… oh wait

        Well you contributed to it being worse which makes you morally inferior, but go off I guess
