I have problems with people who abstained. The hard thing is, how do you change voter behavior?

Except not voting does create change. Change to fascism.

Germany changed to fascism, and now look at them. The world united against them, and now they are a democracy again. Maybe it's like ripping off a bandaid. Or like addiction (in this case to money and greed), where you often have to hit rock bottom to truely recover. I have no idea. No one knows. So no point spending your hate on nonvoters, focus it on the ones actively doing wrong. And don't get distracted.

You are entirely missing the point. Inaction is an action in it of itself, they are actively doing wrong.

But more importantly, and a lot of people never seem to not understand this when I comment things, I can blame more than what target. Like, wild concept right? I am not lacking in hatred for this.

So you think it's fine that literal millions would die overthrowing fascism? It's just like ripping off a bandaid?

While "you" can blame more than one target, a lot of people prefer one target. And the tone of your post was one of trying to convince others to blame the target you named, with no mention of other targets. That is what compelled me to comment.

As for fine with people dieing... no. I am not fine with much of what goes on in this world. It seems to me that human nature drives us to make a society that is good for only a few at the expense of the many. And I see no way out of it.

...yes, because I'm not bringing in an offtopic target to blame. I hate corps, but I recognize the scum won't change themselves, so we need to put forth the effort to change them

It's just insulting that you refer to it as "just ripping off a bandaid" when the process is no where near that simple.

Interesting choice of the word insulting. Who am I insulting? The fact is there will be extensive pain and suffering either way. That is enevitable, and has already started. In my opinion, dragging it on will make it worse and effect more people. It's also harder to mount a resistance against a slow descent.
