Periodieke verkiezingsdag-herinnering! Ga stemmen en:

@elziax

i've decided, for the sake of my confusion, that most of these "don't #vote" voices are trollfarm cosplaying left. to suppress the left vote

not voting means fascists win: this is easy to understand

but that someone's toxic idealism is *that* important to them, to not vote? this is a level of entitlement and egocentrism that is hard for me to grasp

can people be that self-centered that they are ready for the world to go to shit, simply for the sake of their high holy self-regard?

@benroyce @elziax
Zelfs als nihilist zou ik zeggen: doe het, of je krijgt te maken met fascisme; dat zich ook tegen jou en je familie zal keren. Zoals nooit tevoren in het tijdperk van het cloudkapitalisme.

@MixMistressAlice @elziax

Ja. Zinloosheid impliceert niet dat men de agenda van intolerantie of het Kremlin dient.

@MixMistressAlice @benroyce
@elziax

'doe het, of je krijgt te maken met fascisme'

Ik hoop uit de grond van mijn hart dat je niet denkt dat fascisme gestopt gaat worden als mensen blijven stemmen.

Als je fascisme wil bestrijden, organiseer anti-fascistisch verzet. Dat kan op heel veel manieren, maar hopen dat anderen fascism voor je gaan stoppen in raadszaal of parlement is gevaarlijk naïef.

@Wouter_Pieterse @MixMistressAlice @elziax

Mee eens. Maar wee de dwaas die denkt dat hij dat kan doen in plaats van te stemmen. Je doet beide. Zelfs als het op niets meer neerkomt dan vandalisme of sabotage, telt de stem altijd als geldig verzet.

@pelle @elziax

so... you're a right wing troll or an edgelord moron?

@benroyce @elziax
»everyone who don't submit to the ritual support the regime are {ableist slur}«

@pelle @elziax

"moron" isn't ableist, moron

how do you support a regime by voting against them, moron

@benroyce @elziax
next up we'll abolish the church by going for holy communion.

i am in a different country than you. at the parliamentary election next week, one of the most debated subjects is the use of gas chambers. here's a recent ad with two "progressive" politicians discussing the euphemisms we use about gas chambers, like we call it "vocalisation" instead of "screaming" and so on. https://veganism.social/@veganguide/116216027159710785

are they against gas chambers? of course not! none of them are. they say they want better quality gas. unironically.

a few months ago, at the conference of the most left-wing party here, they voted for an "israel has the right to exist" political line and to evict the pro-palestine fraction for being "damaging to the party."

but apparently i'm a moron if i don't vote for liberal-flavour genocide and better gas in gas chambers.

@pelle @elziax

i'm not reading all that

you come on as a fucking clown and now you want to pivot to being serious?

you purposefully demolish any chance of respecting you... then you want to speak earnestly?

😂

i appreciate you loser trolls for the entertainment value though ❤️

@benroyce @elziax then why are you doing their work for them? Arguments like yours drive away far and away more votes than people who say “don’t vote.”

@theothersimo @elziax

😂

the idea that a random crank on mastodon is driving away voters is hilarious

more:

the idea someone supposedly an adult is so fragile that their feelings are crushed by a meanie poopiehead man on intarwebs, so they don't vote. rather than, you know, being an adult? capable of grasping their needs and wants and advocating for them effectively?

and even more:

that such entitled, useless pathetic lumps exist in the world: i am the cause of it?

@elziax Think as if you are the most vulnerable person in your environment and vote in your own interest. If it's not you today, it could be you, tomorrow.
@Lioh Sicherlich auch passend! Und leider historisch korrekt...
@elziax "it doesn't matter who I vote for, so I do not vote" is a maximal privileged PoV of someone who doesn't need to fear fascists (aka a fascist)

@Schafstelze @elziax What if the only options are fascists all the way down?

Vote for the least fascist option? Is there such a thing?

Hmmm...🤔....I suppose that *has* to be the only choice for americans 😔.

@Oyu_Fka @elziax looks like you don't have to be afraid to be abducted by ICE. Thanks for proofing my point.
@Oyu_Fka @Schafstelze @elziax In countries where there are only fascists, there is no vote

@Schafstelze Dem stimme ich voll und ganz zu!
@elziax You can judge a country by how it treats its most vulnerable
@Robo105 True! Also for every human being!
@elziax good point but I think the weak or what are often portrayed as problems are the canary in the coal mine telling us that society is starting to fail
@elziax A bit simplistic that. At least don't show it to the Karens in your life.
@elziax All these under-privileged kids from broken ghettos should not be playing video-games. Lets ban them. That'll fix literacy-rates, asthma and ingrown toe-nails for sure.

See John Rawls and the veil of ignorance

> Rawls's argument for these principles of social justice uses a thought experiment called the "original position", in which people deliberately select what kind of society they would choose to live in if they did not know which social position they would personally occupy.

@koantig Exactly, I also tend to think of Rawls every time I see that quote!
