ValJust want to vent
Comrade SpoodLiberals think that the only way to protect people and get change is to vote. They refuse to comprehend that there are other options, because they are too scared to do anything that actually matters. Voting is the easy way to feel like a good person and feel like you make a difference. Know that your efforts to ACTUALLY help people are recognized and appreciated. By me, other anarchists, and the people you directly impact with your actions. Don’t let liberals make you feel bad for not falling for their pyramid scheme of a system
aubeynarfCan you define what you mean by “liberals”?
I think it’s non-leftists. As that is the standard in this sub.
Can you say what you mean by “leftist” then?
The sidebar should cover that question. In case it doesn’t here are some terms I think fall under that umbrella: socialist, anti-capitalist, anarchist.
Democrats, people who aren’t leftist. And as another person said, leftists would be communists, revolutionary socialists, and anarchists.
I never even said to not vote. They probably thought “fuck the state” means “don’t vote”. And they are connected but not the same.
You’re right, I was putting words in your mouth. Sorry. I do feel my comment is more or less still relevant
No you weren’t. At least not in my opinion. I was just continuing the thought not refuting anything you said.
KeriKitty (They(/It))looks at +5-20 votes Is there an actual reason this comm’s full of fools? Everything actually leftish in “Lefty Memes” gets downvoted. It’s kindof a bad joke at this point.
Imean, for one thing there’s the issue of “why are you here if the actual topic of this place disgusts you?” but then there’s the fact that so many people are eager to jump on and fight over things that aren’t even being said. It’s like a big pack of trolls but I don’t think they even know it.
This is probably a hot take (apparently my previous one was also a hot take so who cares), I blame Hasan. He is no more than a spicy liberal, basically a social democrat. But he calls himself a socialist. So people watch him, feel radical and call themselves socialist when all they really want is a welfare state.
I don’t know who that is; I’m guessing some popular(ish?) streamer or YouTuber or something. Makes sense that people like that could popularize some undercooked ideas or ideologies.
Yeah, a pretty popular twitch streamer.
