  • Do you actually think the same number of people would die under Biden or Harris? Assuming your comparison is entirely correct the conclusion implies a singular choice. Fighting the entire system can happen in every scenario. If voting for the lesser of two evils is able to reduce the harm to a few people or buy time to fight the system then that seems like the better choice. Mussolini only caused the deaths of thousands, not the millions Hitler did. Maybe at that level those are just statistics, each and every person between those numbers has friends and family that would disagree.

    “While evil triumphs and your rigid ideals crumbles into blood stained dust the only victory afforded to you is that you stuck true to your guns”.

    I despised Biden and Harris. Voting for them brought me no joy. However I can say that I am already seeing additional harm being done that was not before Trump won.








  • I haven’t quite figured out how to put it into words but in my mind it seems like capitalism and Nazi Germany or the USSR share a core mechanism. A single death is a tragedy, but many deaths are a statistic. When a singular person does something bad they need to be punished. If a system does something bad, even if a singular person or group of people were directly responsible for setting up the system they do not receive the consequences.

    It’s also the reason automated systems being used for making decisions that affect real human lives bother me so much right now. In a vacuum I don’t actually have a problem with them, but unless laws and regulations with teeth are put in place to hold those that implement them responsible for their mistakes then under our current system by definition they will only ever be used to maximize profits and minimize culpability.





  • I genuinely wish I were an aro ace. I am generally able to draw a lot of satisfaction, enjoyment, and contentment from pursuing my hobbies and interests. Unfortunately I still have a very strong drive/desire for relations of all kinds with someone I find mentally and physically attractive. Unfortunately being on the spectrum makes things even more difficult than it already is for everyone in that regard. Such is life though, we all struggle with something.
