How do they know no one is nobinary? Did they ask everyone for their gender? 💀
thank you for sharing :3
i watched the video and i found it very interesting and agreed with it a lot.
the videos does specifically argue against electoralism tho, and not against the act of voting in itself.
but i do see how the critique of electoralism applies to my understanding of a reformist arm of a liberatory movement. it makes me reconsider some things. even so, i do disagree with parts of that critique.
i wonder if the absence of any nominally liberatory parties leads more people to be radicalise and self organize, or if it just shifts the overton window to the right. i understand and agree that the electoral system needs to be deligitimized and people need to be discouraged from putting their trust into it, but does this mean, it should not be used at all?
i dont think direct action and self organizing should be a reaction to people voted into power acting against the interests of the people. i see then as the goals in themselves.
we should not be ruled by anyone, not even people we voted for. the power needs to be with us, the people. representative democracy is taking that power away.
so i would say, even when politions in power do what the people who elected them want them to do, we should still self organize, to regain our own power and not be relient on the mercy of politions
hi, pls dont take my comment as an attack, i just wish to share my opinion with you :3
i dont think that electoralism has to be seen as valid, to see voting in an electoralist system and pushing for reforms as valid tactics.
ofc i do not think that reforms and elections will liberate us. i think it is foolish to use voting as our only or even primary tactic. but i think it can improve things or at least slow down our opressors. it can give us more breathing room to do the things that will actually lead to liberation.
i know that it feels bad to participate in a process and a system that you despice and consider illegitimate, but i dont think there are actual downsides to doing it other than that bad feeling.
i dont say this to demonize non-voting. i just want to explain why i see voting as a valid tactic and make people reconsider their views or maybe make me reconsider my own view :3
so mean! let them have their little sticker :<
the nerds need their little sticker!!

to me its also the turkish persecution of and brutal fight against the kurdish movement, where they will go as far as bombing civilians even outside their own country and work with islamist militias
dog got converted to imperial💀
i think us politics being posted everywhere is what's annoying. do you even notice how they are everywhere? i dont see thousands of memes about australian elections.
if you want to post about your local politics on international platforms, you got to handle ppl telling you they dont know anything about that. you can always go to dedicated us politics spaces, if it bothers you so much.
this meme is speaking to my heart
people not caring about what happens with their data saddens me so much, frustrates me and makes me feel powerless
just install ublock origin, silly
