"You were handed a choice by the same system committing genocide, it's on you to unquestioningly accept that choice and not seek any alternative, thereby guaranteeing all manner of crimes against humanity will continue indefinitely. I think this because I'm incapable of understanding that both parties supporting genocide completely discredits any theory about their political independence."
You seeked an alternative, turns out the alternative is Trump. Do you feel good about what you have found? Are you capable of admitting to yourself that seeking of alternative would be better if there was a little less unhinged fascism?
This is what some people call "slave talk". The oppressed chiding each other for the actions of the oppressors, whether or not they're even responsible (in this case, they categorically are not). You're doing their work for them, for free.
And instead you allow the worst outcome and then what? Whine on social media, while people are dying as a result of your inaction? Wait for thr glorious revolution to appear out of nowhere that will bring you bag of happiness? Hope a bunch of people die and suffer so the communist emerges?
Yes, that is exactly the kind of thing the more brainwashed slaves said when the masters instituted collective punishment. Thank you for the great example.
You might think you are doing big heroic revolution by being obtuse about the situation you're in, but you actually, demonstrably making it easier for the powers that be to take advantage of you. You are in the system, you either engage with it, or it grinds you down into a fine paste. Childish proclamations is not how you change or escape it, it is how you tell it that you're up for grabs.
I reject their system. You play by their rules, they control you. That simple. A society of people rejecting their system ends their system, a society of people playing by their rules is dominated. You may think you're being pragmatic, but you're being manipulated.
You reject jack shit, my man. You were given an option to slightly affect whatever is rulling you, and you threw it away. You were never given any other options. Now it doesn't matter what you write anonymously on the internet, you will live in the same world as anyone else and obey the same laws and rules, they will just be chosen by other people because you decided to play edgy teenager and brood in the shadows.
Evil people who do evil shit couldn't ask for better ally than a moody teenager playing against his own interests.
I'm not going to sit here repeating myself. If you had any interest in justice or truth you would speak less and listen to people who know better. Despicable.
Am I talking to a robot? You sound like a robot, was I wasting my time talking to a bot this whole time?
The mod here already banned me once, otherwise I'd let you know exactly what I think of that. How about you focus on what's being said to you instead of coming up with bullshit like that about who you're talking to.
That's the thing, nothing is being said to me. You don't have points, you have empty platitudes.
