Burn the trolley and rip up the tracks

[–] agamemnonymous@sh.itjust.works 3 points 6 months ago (2 children)

Very clever, how do you plan to do that in the 2 seconds before the trolley passes?

[–] young_broccoli@kbin.social 5 points 6 months ago (31 children)

Throw a log at the tracks.

I understand the logic that not voting might give the presidency to Trump but its also a good way to expose the falacy of our "democracies". The less participation there is the harder it gets to keep the lie.
Theres a reason why Australia made voting compulsory.

The less participation there is the harder it gets to keep the lie.

This is just wildly naive. The less participation the easier you are to manage. Why do you think the GOP goes so hard on voter suppression and gerrymandering?

[–] young_broccoli@kbin.social 1 points 6 months ago

Their voter suppression is meant to stop from voting a very specific and relative small group of people not comparable to what an organized sabotage of the elections would be.
Gerrymandering is meant to dilute the vote of those who are already voting in favour of one party and its an example of how fallacious your democracy is.

I already admitted that I might be wrong, but something must be done to change this and believing you can fix a rigged game by playing it, is also naive.

Conservatives in the DNC and GOP next year:

Oh no, the left didn't vote! What a shame! Now we won't have any tasty ballots to snack on. Oh well, I guess we'd better start drifting left and further away from the interests of the people who actually elected us. Gee, I was really hoping the people whose views fundamentally oppose our own were going to vote. Mr Trump, we'd better stop suppressing black people's votes right away, cause the left isn't voting and we think that's bad.

We have more than two seconds, and what does this have to do with criticizing a sitting president? Explain. I'm not allowed to highlight the atrocities his administration commits?

Edit: You have to kill the person, and you aren't allowed to complain about it either. One way is "murder the people" and the other choice is "murder the innocent person #Pride #BLM" -- we're not allowed to talk about how colossally shitty it was to establish this trolley system in the first place?

Burning the trolley in this case will kill tens if not hundreds of thousands of people. I'm sure you'll chill out once you turn 20.

I'm middle aged. My perspective is based on decades of being lied to by Democrats and being marginalized by both parties for being LGBT+ with a family of immigrants. Your opinion sounds like the childish one here, chief -- mindlessly parroting tired capitalist propaganda.

We need to dismantle the system. It's never been good, it only harms, and it cannot be fixed from within.
