The fascists have already been cracking down on people trying to organize.
2 1 ReplySo your solution is defeatism?
A bold strategy, let's see how it pays off. /s
3 1 ReplyYes! Why not vote for the lesser evil to prevent harsher crackdowns than you would otherwise get?
2 2 ReplyBecause it doesn't prevent anything.
2 1 ReplyAt the end, yes, both outcomes are the same unless organization is successful. Why make organizing any harder than it needs to be?
2 1 ReplyI am confused by your reply. What is the "rock" I am buying?
2 0 ReplyDid you watch the video? The rock that keeps tigers away is like voting that makes organizing easier.
Politicians react to organized mass movements, rather than elections. You got it backwards.
1 2 ReplyI did watch the video. I agree that mass movements are what is required for change. I don't understand, what am I buying?
2 0 ReplyYou're "buying" that elections make organizing easier. Just like Homer is buying that a rock can keep tigers away.
1 1 ReplyHow would having a more evil leader, one who hypothetically locks down freedom of speech and starts arresting people, make organizing easier?
Seems like that would make it harder to do.
2 0 ReplyI don't know how to explain to you that the issues we're facing are systemic and don't depend on the "right" individual being a leader.
