I never meant to imply a pacifist would be required to engage in violence, only that they would have to indirectly support it at the very least, lest their own principles be engulfed by those who would see to their extinction.

I wish the solution to racism wasn’t just racism towards the people doing it. The only way to stop racism is to stop being racist.

Remember everyone, you can just mullvad into a different country while yours passes increasingly facistic laws. Japan is gonna see a lot of traffic.

In theory, of course. Love that.

However, there are people who exist that should be kept out. Known terrorists and criminals should be denied entry, there are severe punishments that if we can’t enact we at the very least should prohibit their return. A modern day exile. You can only confirm who a bad person is by confirming who they aren’t. You need an ID to let Joshua Hamton, candy store owner, into the country but to also keep out Jeffery Epstein, kid diddler, from returning should he escape. A filter must exist but not one this strict. The only way to remove the filter would be to assimilate under a global legal system which we are centuries from obtaining.

It’s a tough go for the people who believe in pacifism or nonviolent change.

Yeah what would the elevator be in this analogy? Can’t think of any elegant, smooth, safe way out of this political cluster fuck.

The Washington establishment is called that precisely because it has been legitimized and established. If you want to delegitimize it, that could serve as the first step to achieve a solution. I’m not saying our views are even contrasting, our methodology is.

Spreading the good word doesn’t mean much when there’s nothing that follows. No plan, no suggested actions, just small groups struggling to do what they can. All we can presently do is slow the bleeding. Getting tired of bleeding doesn’t mean to just stop holding the wound.

There is no alternative. Third party is not an option and if you think the DNC hates progressives, you’re not looking at the RNC. Democrats are the only window. The only solution under the current system. Yes, decry the system is broken and we will nod on solem agreement. Short of a revolution, the Democrat party is the best current solution.

Anyone who isn’t a nazi should be voting blue. Any the option allows a nazi to be elected. This is a trolly problem but with the whole of the United States and to a degree the globe. Stop overcomplicating it.

Mamdani is a progressive democrat, if course the establishment democrats are against him. Yet, he’s about to become mayor. Yes we all know the DNC scuttled Bernie which is why I never said to fund the DNC I said vote blue. An establishment dem is better than a republican. A progressive dem is better than an establishment dem.

The only way a progressive gets elected is as a Democrat. Mamdani proves it. We can’t even do ranked choice voting because Republicans would never win again, so they block it.

You’re screaming what we already know. There is no ignorance, you are no town crier, you are simply noise for the sake of it and I’m sick of the unintelligent cacophony.

I didn’t ask if it was your country, I said present a viable solution and steps to achieve the better outcome. You are no different from a baby crying for milk. You don’t care how you get it, don’t care what happens to get it to your mouth, you just want it now and refuse to be silent until it happens. People like you slow progress with your incessant babbling.

You have energy with no direction. Outrage without clear purpose. And you often act like an anchor to things you’d otherwise be able to benefit from. Worst of all you are incapable of distinguishing severity. You are a mind broken centrist (or ultra leftist) that can’t figure out we can get rid of all the kid touchers with the left, while the right is defending them whole sale.

We cannot have a left of left party while the right still exists. We cannot remove the right by allowing them to be elected.

Yeah people like you just don’t have a solution. You’d rather wait for a cure to the cancer than to get treatments done. We all know the treatments aren’t perfect, we know we’re slowly dying, why the fuck do we need you screaming it? You’re yelling in a cancer ward that the treatments aren’t cures. No shit.
