That's what I meant by starting shot, it's the least you can do.
Aesthetic shopping at every other step without doing the first part is bailing water out of a ship without plugging the hole first, like yeah you can absolutely keep the water out but more is gonna keep coming in without doing that first step to try and stem the problem from getting even worse.
I just resent the people who skip the first step especially right now because to me it seems less like they're even interested in bailing the water out and more like they're interested in looking grammable while doing a shit job at bailing water out, which hilariously I see a lot of them projectingly accuse moderates of doing whenever there's an argument about who gets to show up to pride.
IMO admittance to the marches and mutual aid events and conferences and stuff should be predicted on proving you voted, something like a BPT verification pic, something that is recognizably you, a date the pic was taken on, and the most recent "I voted sticker" for the place you voted in. Probably won't get all the slacktivists but it'll definitely filter out the karens who think demanding to speak to the party's manager is ultra based praxis! XD
Solidarity l'enton sadi'i!
Haha!
Youve a way with words. Those first two paragraphs id love to stamp in highly visible public spaces, esp the second! Thats exactly how it feels, and then these numbskulls insist if u suggest voting ur a "lib," as if the society i advocate hardest for isnt cashless, classless, stateless.
That last paragraph tho... i dont like the idea of holding any purity tests to begin with, but i do understand the sentiment. As ive seen some others on here say, if ur over here crying about ppl voting, chances are ur not going to be the one going out and actually participating in direct action, or esp mutual aid, in the first place.
Forgive my ignorance, but what language would this be, what does it translate to?
Shami dialect Arabic, it means "solidarity to you my friend!"
In MSA it'd have been written l'entum sadiqi.
