That’s your choice to make and passing judgment doesn’t seem to have any material consequence. Compare that to a Palestinian, why should they care what kind of asshole we elect to office, when they care about whether that asshole will keep giving money to Isreal? They have different material conditions but I would not disparage their values over that choice. This idea that a choice is universally good or bad regardless of context is used to police our history, not just our voting. It feels very liberal coded.

This. I can understand an American not understanding the history of a symbol, the confederate flag comes to mind, but the eagerness to murder to make sure America is top dog is big red flag.
When exactly did fascism stop in the states? Was it after the Civil War ended slavery but didn’t give blacks the right to vote? Or when we gave them the right to vote but also sent their men to die in Vietnam? Or did it end with the USSR while we supported the genocide in Palestine? Fascism in the states exists on a spectrum and voting is often choosing which direction it will creep towards.
Ahh, so they didn’t study history
Not knowing history can do that sometimes
I don’t really take stalk in how people vote in a liberal democracy, its built to dismantle class consciousness. Vote however your internal values and material conditions dictates, but please don’t act like voting will save us from fascism.
But also, anyone who isn’t apart of the one true Vanguard is a liberal or a fascist.

1·1 day agoYou say capitalism is an economic system and is not comparable to political systems, but you use political terms like “private individual” to say that a king cannot participate in capitalism.
It’s a great way to encourage people to burn more tokens. If you want more reliability you need to focus on deterministic feedback and bubble wrapping everything.

Pretty sure socialism is when government does things and communism is when government does lots of things.
