TIL self rule is when you can't criticize the government
TIL telling people to get involved in politics and to go out and vote is exactly the same as telling them to not criticize the government.
People won't do those things unless they realize that Democratic neoliberal orthodoxy is also the enemy.
Criticizing Biden with the goal of awakening the people should be encouraged
So, in a few words, tell me how you intend to reshape the entire political landscape of the United States and usurp both major Parties.
I've had folks tell me since high school that the Revolution was just around the corner, and the masses would rise and rebuild.
What's so special about your plan?
Unions and democratic socialism. Aka, the Sanders methodology - and, aka, the way we got the New Deal
The alternative is either doing nothing and allowing conditions to continue to deteriorate, or supporting an armed revolution that will be instantly massacred by the most powerful military in human history. Neither are plausible options in the face of oligarchy
You're hilarious. They got the New Deal by electing FDR. Without politicians in the White House and Congress, none of it would have happened.
You speak against voting, and then mention an elected official [Sanders] and a government policy [the New Deal]
You seem to be unfamiliar with the mass labor movements and socialist movements that were present in the late 20s and 30s. FDR and his social democrats were the compromise candidates.
Actually I didn't. Because, as I've now said for the 3rd time in this thread, I've voted for dems in every election I've ever been eligible to vote in.
I don't who you sent those messages to, but it wasn't me.
If you can't keep your arguments straight, it's time to stop playing keyboard warrior. Go out and touch the grass.
It's actually a cromulent remark. You never told me you voted in every election. You're confused and need to get away from the keyboard.
Two other people have sent me private messages calling you out for trollign. Looks like you've spnet so much time here that you've become a celebrity!
Celebrate your notoriety by going outside an touching the grass.
Before I block you for harassment, I’d like to point out how the mod logs are full of your posts being removed for trolling and uncivil name calling.
You even used autism as an insult. That’s disgusting.
Also, trolling someone by repeatedly pretending that you can’t understand what they are saying to you doesn’t come off as cute as you think it does. Especially when everyone can see that they were very clear with what they said.
You distract from the topic to bait people. It shows in your comment history. And it shows in the mod log. This person has debated you in good faith. You are trolling them.
And it’s very obvious.
I do have access, as I have seen your removed comments. You even admitted to having accused someone of being autistic, (which was a removed comment) just as you are accusing me now of the same thing.
How would I know you did this? How could I have pointed this out- before you admitted to it… if I didn’t see this in the mod logs?
Not very clever man.
Could it be that I actually do have an alt account that has access to the logs because I am mod elsewhere? It’s not a crime to have multiple accounts on lemmy. Especially when one is a moderator.
This entire discussion is off the tracks because of you. That makes you the troll. They were arguing in good faith and you derailed the topic to hypocritically accuse them of trolling.
I’m simply pointing that out.
Also, people are now warning one another about you. I’m sure you’ll see this as a badge of honor- but it isn’t.
Try and do better.
Enjoy
And so you know, one doesn’t need to be a mod to see the mod logs. You clearly have no idea what you’re talking about here. I only need to be a mod to see them from the lemmy app I use. ANYONE can see the mod logs.
Which means, ANYONE can see your blatant lies about your comment history.
And I already admitted I have alt accounts. One of them is a mod account for two different communities. That doesn’t make one a troll. But your accusations of trolling from alts comes off as next-level IMAX projection if you ask me. It That’s just my observation. Not an accusation at all.
Now, I’m done engaging with you on this.
