What the hell happened here?

Forward this to Elon, Zuckerberg and every other techbro scumlord and hope they fall for it?

Cope.

This isn’t hate. Your mod did something stupid and we’re making fun of them for it.

Love them even more when they’re free

If he’s anti-authoritarian, why ban people?

Heaven’s no, they’re too scared to actually visit Hexbear

Hey @FiniteBanjo@lemmy.today this you?

Why are you so obsessed with us?

Also why do you support Ukrainian Nazis?

Why can’t I get a girlfriend

is literally covered in shit and refuses to shower

Oops the whole world has gone full nazi

Turning everything unto a product sucks. Soulless

Fuck yes!

I don’t think my question was so much for you, as you don’t seem like the type to totally defend the Dems and Biden, but thanks for answering anyway.

When it comes to the national scale, two-party, first-past-the-post shitshow that we have, who else am I gonna vote for?

That’s the problem. What we have is flawed and corrupt. If you have to ask “Who else am I going to vote for?” then you need to start organizing and supporting leftist organizations and revolutionary communists, my friend.

“A fascist voted today, did you?” is a phrase I came across at some point that resonated with me, and whenever I talk to someone who is apathetic about voting it seems effective in getting them to involve themselves at the bare-minimum level of our democracy.

Understandable, but again, a fascist has voting power in a fascist system, we do not. Getting involved with democracy only works if you have a people’s democracy, not an oligarchy decided by the capitalist donor class. You can see for yourself that even getting student loans forgiven is being easily stopped by unelected loan companies stepping in and threatening to sue. How is that democratic?

When it comes to primaries and state/local stuff, I vote as left as I can. Bernie, Chesa Boudin, Shahid Buttar, etc

None of these people are left. None of them want to abolish capitalism. Like, I get you’re trying to vote as left as possible. But the system will never let these people win. As we saw with the smear campaign against people like Bernie (and Corbin for a UK example) as soon as they got popular. That’s not me trying to be defeatist, that’s just the reality of the situation, and if we continue to try to fix things that way we’re going to be stuck butting our heads against a wall while the planet burns. Hell, even if those ‘left as possible’ candidates do get popular they aren’t allowed to win. Bernie was exceedingly popular during the 2020 primaries. To put it in perspective, people outside of the US knew who he was, none of them knew who Biden was. Was anyone passionate about Biden other than the donor class? No, yet he suddenly beats everyone else? Even Warren was more popular than him. But the oligarchs decide, not us.

not that it does any good, their name recognition is off the charts.

Exactly, if the ruling wealthy donor class wants someone to win, these are the people that will get the most advertising and donor support and those are the people who will win. And like I said, even if a grassroots movement does get popular, even the mildest leftist won’t be allowed to win.

Ultimately I think we need to get our elections fixed with a myriad of improvements: ranked choice (or whatever, just not fptp), automatic registration, universal vote-by-mail, replace election “day” with election week or month, mandatory voting, and better districting to mitigate gerrymandering.

That will never happen in America. They won’t allow it. Even in countries that do have it, like mine, it doesn’t change anything. Western capitalist democracies are simply corrupt. I mean, vote all you want, but understand that without organizing against the system, nothing will fundamentally change.

This is pathetic. Your people are dying, America, and this is what you do instead? Childish baby shit. So glad this empire is crumbling under its own bullshit. It’s just a shame its bringing innocent people down with it.

Thank you for fixing that, friend.

Is if the Nazis wouldn’t have turned on each other after the genocide of undesirables was completed.

One of the dangerous things about fascism that people seem to not understand is that it never ends. They have to have an enemy to consume because they can create nothing themselves. It is ultimately a self harming ideology. A species chewing its own legs off because it finds them too unsightly.

MUCH better games.

Trans people stay winning.

I wouldn’t say any of them are explicitly conservative though, except for the CIA funded military shooters.

So lets see, we have:

Literal CIA funded military shooters,

games like Fallout, Space Marine and Bioshock that are satires making fun of conservatives,

Games like Zelda whose story is just an excuse to go dungeon crawling,

Persona 4 checks out though, conservatives love games where they get the option to groom underage girls,

Mega Man?!

Morrowind? I played Morrowind as an Argonian and spent a good chunk of the game freeing slaves and killing slave owners. Not exactly conservative unless you play the most boring character.

What? Are you afraid of smelling poop on the floor? What a snowflake!
