The ballot or the bullet. Liberty or death. Love it.
I choose the ballot over the bullet, liberty over death.
We got a foreign agent running for pres. Times are quite a bit different than before. Far leftists run for government everywhere. They dont abstain. The Spanish anarchists literally have it as their second tenet to make life under the current regime, while it lasts, more tenable.
Youve offered no concrete ways forward, however, so Ill say for the millionth time the same: pursue direct action in any means by which u are able, establish systems of mutual aid (preferably very local), vote bc its the least u can do and your wellbeing does depend on it, and make friends and spread these ideas anywhere and everywhere. The future is ours, but we shouldnt sit here arguing against ppl encouraging any single one of those avenues. Theyre all necessary. Everyone does a little, some do a lot. "From each according to his ability," and what not.
What's fun about Malcom is that it's as much a personal directive to his listeners as it is an ultimatum to policy makers and centrists: "either you give us the liberty we demand, or we'll take the only action you've left us".
He certainly did encourage his listeners to vote, but not for 'the lesser evil'. He wanted them to wield their vote to force change. He was a revolutionary who believed that liberty would never be given unless forced, and if the peaceful option was not provided to them, then it justified any and all actions against an oppressor.
IT'S FREEDOM FOR EVERYBODY OR IT'S FREEDOM FOR NOBODY.
That certainly doesn't sound like voting for the lesser evil, if you ask me.
Again, theres a russian agent running. U get no change voting for anything other than the continuation of democracy in the country. You either get democracy, or u get the boot up ur ass. I choose the semblance of democracy we own. Why disparage others from this end?
what proof do you have for that?
Yes common troll tactics, deny everything, demand proof of even the most basic of facts. The man simped for putin every chance he got, we were warned by the Dutch (u know, actual allies) that cozy bear was hacking to aid and abet him, youve got the trump tower calls in 16. Its too exhausting to list it all, but thats what u count on, no? If anyone relied on plausable deniability half as much as numb nuts they would long be in jail for conspiracy against the US.
The Mueller investigation culminated with the Mueller report, which concluded that the Trump campaign welcomed Russian interference and expected to benefit from it. Though there was insufficient evidence of a criminal conspiracy, members of the campaign were indicted, including national security advisor Michael Flynn and the chair of the Trump presidential campaign, Paul Manafort.
what's that supposed to mean?
that doesn't mean trump was involved
that's not what i recall.
