There’s something that has always struck me as ironic about discussions of, like, undeserved indigenous land and sovereignty in the same context as criticisms of colonial systems of property and ownership, in that the vocabulary being used fundamentally grants the premises of the system being critiqued. And it makes me wonder, in the long run, if this is the fate of a global civilization—trending gradually toward a political, material, even maybe a linguistic monoculture, on a level too fundamental to even really consciously resist, all while being dissatisfied about it but not actually being able to shape the incentives around it. Or even while loudly proclaiming that’s not what we’re doing, managing to give lip service to only the most superficial differences.
The thing that annoys me so fucking much about Democrats is how much they will whine and whine for 4 years because they “just don’t see a third party winning” instead of using those years to support third party candidates vocally and/or financially. Like if thousands to millions of people were posting everyday about a third party candidate for like two years straight, that candidate could become popular enough to not only make it on the ballot, but to win the vote.
Instead Democrats chose to stick their heads in the sand and just outright refuse that a third candidate could win instead of doing research about that candidate and then doing everything in their power to spread the word about them.
Personally, this next election, I’ll be voting for Claudia de la Cruz, and I won’t have a shred of guilt if Trump wins because 1) i didn’t vote for him, duh, and 2) i know that a vote for joe biden would be just voting for the exact same thing that had been happening. It means more Palestinian deaths, and yes those deaths will be on your hands if you vote for Joe Biden or Donald Trump.
someone who’s more into US politics, pls explain to me why americans don’t see 3rd party as an option and would rather vote between trump and genocide joe instead
Is your faith wavering, but you’re still latched onto your beliefs because if you don’t, you worry about the possibility of going to 🔥HELL🔥????
Do you worry obsessively about the end times and the pain dynamics of burning in a lake of fire for all eternity and how that would all work out, like if your soul would get used to it or if the fire would find a way to hurt more over time, like what is eternal torture even??? 🔥🐥🔥🍗🔥🪨🔥
Do you worry about questioning your faith for even a second, because you’re certain that the moment you did, the antichrist would reveal himself and everyone but you would be raptured????? 🙂😈
What does Ice (or Mav) think about the Obama gay rumors? Will they be tuning in to hear the story of the man who allegedly fucked Obama? Are they bi Obama truthers? Is Rooster? Is Hangman? Any other Icebama interactions you're hiding from us? His cameo cracked me up and I need to know more...
To anyone who follows me and is thinking of not voting in protest of the genocide in Gaza.
I understand. I do. It’s fucking monstrous. But as fucked up as it is to say it, all those problems you were hearing about before Gaza are still around.
The anti-trans legislation, the book banning, the attacks on abortion rights and other forms of uterine healthcare, the repeated attacks on democracy, the orange guy with a slavishly loyal christo-fascist voter base who literally keeps saying he’s going to turn dictator *day one* and lock up his political opponents and lgbtq+ people in camps if he ever gets re-elected. The same orange guy who has tried to overthrow legal elections in the past. The same orange guy who is absolutely going to turn the genocide from bad to worse and has explicitly said he will.
All that shit.
Still exists.
The far right didn’t take a vacation or time out while people were justifiably worried about Israel’s genocide in Gaza. They’re not taking a time out while people are *still* justifiably worried about Gaza.
You can *still* worry about the people of Gaza. You don’t need my permission but I’m still saying you can just to clarify that I’m not telling you to ignore the deaths.
But please. PLEASE.
Do not get tunnel vision.
Not voting. Does not. Hurt Joe Biden.
Not voting. Does not. Help Palestine.
Not voting. Is exactly. What the leader of Israel, Trump, and literally every fascist in this country wants leftists doing.
Some people will need to ask themselves if maintaining a personal sense of moral purity is more important than preventing the country with the biggest military budget on the planet from making a full backslide into theocratic fascism.
“Is Solid Snake a democrat or a republican?” Boring, stupid, assumes that solid snakes political beliefs fit neatly into the two categories of American politics when hes written by a Japanese guy, especially when democrat and republican are the same thing but with red or blue paint. And it doesn’t always fit since both sides are very pro military and very pro every type of bomb, things solid snake spends the latter half of his adult life fighting against
“Is Solidus Snake a democrat or republican?” Great question since he’s literally the president of the us at one point and had to run with or the other. And it can help answer the question of if he won the popular vote or was an electoral college pic. Which is the real mystery of mgs
