    The idea is sound enough, but the rhetoric is deeply unpalatable. Focus on what you think people should be doing, not not doing.

      protest, struggle and sabotage.

      I’ve gone over it, albeit on a surface level to keep it relatively short, if you really want to know more then you ought to listen to people who go deeper than i am, not to go all “I’m not here to educate you” but you really do have better sources than a stranger’s comment on the internet.

        I’m trying to be very clear that I understand and mostly agree with the ideas that underlie the rhetoric, which I think is unfortunately not up to the same standard. If we want these ideas to catch on, we’re going to need a prettier bow on it than “don’t vote”, which is discouraging and whiffs of fifth column.

          I agree, i even said “don’t vote” is explicitly not the message, the image above is just agitation that is meant to spur people into action beyond mere voting for an alternative.
