Ramesh #NotGoingBack#KnowNothing #CardiB is too stupid to realize that NOT voting for #Biden is a vote FOR #Trump, and that her boycott of #Election2024 could be her last — She might not get another opportunity to vote EVER.

>> #CardiB isn’t stupid LIKE, AT ALL.
Her profile says, “I'll follow you back 9 times out of 10. Unless you're super political, sorry I just don't want all that in my head jit”
Let’s just say I don’t want to be #10.
Also, she’s right. I shouldn’t be as presumptuous. May be #Cardi knows something I don’t.
ᴮᵉⁿ ᴿᵒʸᶜᵉVOTE IN THE PRIMARIES@nicholas_saunders @rameshgupta
It's important to have a moral center. But morality has to imply action. If your supposed morality moves you to inaction when you know and don't care that the world will get worse due to your inaction, you're not moral at all. You're privileged and entitled
Alternatively you're a plutocrat/ geopolitical agenda troll/ agent provocateur and you're pushing inaction because you're malicious, acting on fools because you understand the real world effect
Baron Vonskinnback@benroyce @nicholas_saunders @rameshgupta I assume there is a moral argument to be made that the best thing for humanity the planet the environment & the future is to push us down a dark awful route that brings about a global collapse sooner rather than later as in the long run things will improve faster from the ashes of our old/archaic "civilisation". But this would very much wander into the "the ends justify the means" sociopathic worldview. But both seem like two cheeks of the same arse.
@Vonskinnback @nicholas_saunders @rameshgupta
It's also a false argument
Some people romanticize #revolution
They falsely believe the only winners of violent revolution are the righteous
More often the winners of revolution are more vicious and society is worse
Nevermind they discount all the suffering and injustice during the armed struggle that is often worse than the injustice that moved them to fight
It's so much easier to just get off your fat ass and #VOTE
@Vonskinnback @nicholas_saunders @rameshgupta
Also while we debate the notion of #voting/ not voting we need to consider two other forms of players here:
They dont care about anything except watching the world burn. For lulz
Whether of the #domestic #rightwing or #vatnik/ #wumao variety, their point is to play #agentprovocateur, cosplaying #leftwing, and advance their #plutocrat/ #geopolitical agendas by suppressing the vote
@benroyce @nicholas_saunders @rameshgupta these people have always existed, in one form or another, it's just now they can be organised & managed on a global scale & paid for their troubles. They don't really concern me. What actually concerns me is apathy, that is the fastest path to either global collapse or global fascism (both paths look virtually the same) but we are bound by a universal structure that poisons everything, which is the bastardised version of capitalism we all participate in.
@rameshgupta @benroyce @nicholas_saunders choosing to not vote is the same as choosing to not join in with capitalism, it makes you feel morally superior but actually does nothing to improve the situation whatsoever, working to improve those systems that have been forced on us is more likely to encourage more people to join you, well thought out changes are easy to get support for as long as they are promoted as a positive, not an "anti", people get put off by extreme people shouting at them...
@rameshgupta @benroyce @nicholas_saunders there is a reason that "never let the perfect be the enemy of the good" is the truest way to live your life & the best way to bring people with you in real numbers...
