196 Stands with Palestine, but those of you in the US should still vote in the general election. - Blåhaj Lemmy

I’ve been seeing a lot of anti-voting sentiment going around. Can’t believe I have to say this, but you need to vote. Not only is there more to the election than just the president. (State policy, Senate, house), but not voting is not an act of protest. C’mon guys

if voting changed shit it would have been made illegal. don’t legitimize slavery by acts of expressing gratitude for being able to pick your masters.

Also I hope the Russian government is overthrown by it’s people and that the right of self determination of the myriad of ethnic minorities is actually honored instead of being used as a cannon fodder to oppress another nation.

I live in Russia. First, that won’t happen soon, it’s a bad situation with apathy, fragmentation and decay. Second, that myriad of ethnic groups is by geographic distribution mostly unable to secede as states with clearly defined borders. Third, where they can (say, North Caucasus), they depend on central financing to not be terribly poor (and they are still very poor).

isn’t Tuva an exception in this case due to it’s isolation?

Not of the third point.

Also a question of leadership, how relevant was Boris Kagarlitsky, actually?

So relevant that I’ve heard about him a few times, but never paid attention.
