Been arguing with a tankie about this, decided to stop after they said a civil war and another genocide was preferable to voting for Biden because he supports Israel. Yeah ok bud

Yeah see, I don’t care for genocide. Genocide is not very cash money at all. So, see, in opposition to genocide, I’m gonna sit over here have a preference for a different not cash money genocide, you know, not really but yeah. Oh, and I’ve read accounts of war. I can handle it, I’m well read on the topic. Blood, guts, spit, and ass aren’t that scary. With all of my experience reading about war, I’m practically a shell shocked WWI vet anyway, hehe.

Jesse, what the fuck are you talking about?

I’m absolutely shocked that my comment calls for a /s.

Like, have things got so bad that obvious satire isn’t obvious anymore?

You must be new here.

"President stares directly at Sun" isn't satire anymore.

[–] theangryseal 5 points 7 months ago

Ok, yeah. Haha. What a moment that was. God bless former president (hopefully forever) Donald J. Trump. Haha.

Yes, they have. I took it as satire but I can easily see people actually believing it.

Hell, just yesterday there was a guy still arguing that masks didn't really make a difference for COVID. That improved hygiene, lock downs/isolation, and social distancing was what made all the difference.

I then made a comparison to seat belts, airbags, and bicycle helmets and he then made arguments against those too. I just left the "conversation" at that point. I'm really hoping it was just a bot. The responses were pretty long.

It was pretty obvious to me, but I've certainly missed /s before, so....

[–] [email protected] 11 points 7 months ago

Don't worry I understood your comment was satire but honestly it's not far off from the tankie I was arguing with.

As if they would be there in the frontlines when shit hits the fan. It shows very clearly they don't risk much (and lack the most basic level of empathy) if they really think Trump and Biden are the same. Ask our trans comrades. Or homeless people. Or journalists.

In abstention, they just found a way of feeling good about doing nothing at all. Voting is literally the least you could do and they won't do even that.
