Getting real sick of the "don't vote" anarchists. They remind me of insufferable debate-me atheists; you want to agree, but they make it hurt the whole time.

You really don’t want to agree though. Voter suppression only hurts you, they’re either blatant russian trolls or completely clueless about just how much blood and effort their ancestors had to give to earn that vote in the first place.

[–] Gradually_Adjusting 11 points 1 year ago

I meant agree with the other stuff that anarchists talk about, like mutual aid and other ways of "being the change". I like voting.

Do you think that Russia invests significant resources in using English speakers to troll in niche reddit clones?

That honestly comes off as super conspiracy brained.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

Sounds like what the russians would say!

Nah, there’s plenty of dipshits out there, hexbear can’t all be bots. Meant more on a general internet sense than specifically here.

It's hard to convince tens of millions of people that it matters when electing one party over another doesn't make a material difference in their lives that isn't negative.

[–] Soulg 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Only one of the two parties actively campaigns on hurting people. It's not a difficult choice.

[–] FlashMobOfOne -3 points 1 year ago (2 children)

It doesn't matter what they campaign on when the end result is exactly the same regardless.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

But it isn't exactly the same, not when you're one of the groups that loses their rights under republican control.

Thought it said watersports for a sec

[–] XeroxCool 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Wait, I think I just figured out how to thaw some ports

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Unironically would be a good idea, if not a logistics and environmental nightmare.

[–] Daft_ish 7 points 1 year ago

Can we do like a weekly Russian round up?

[–] ObviouslyNotBanana 2 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Which one was a lie? There's no port? :(

[–] NIB 16 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Russia has an obsession with warm water ports, because most of their ports freeze during the winter. One of the main reasons of the ukranian war is because Russia wants to secure Crimea(and a secondary landbridge to it), their only warm water port in europe(and Kaliningrad but that one is surrounded by NATO).

But this is not a real argument because 99% of countries that have ports, their ports are warm water ones. It is the default, this is an argument that only a russian would make.

I know. Good comment though, for those that do not.

There's a port, but it's tepid at best.
