2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.


Obvious right or left wing sources will be removed at the mods discretion.

Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.

You believe not trying all available avenues is the best option.

[–] SphereofWreckening@lemmy.world 0 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

Imagine thinking voting was an available avenue against fascism.

Yeah man, i guess i should just sit at home and whine like you are.

Like you've been doing this entire thread? Lmao

The difference here being that youre advocating for doing nothing as the righteous choice.

[–] SphereofWreckening@lemmy.world 0 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

I'm saying that not supporting genocide is a principled choice. You not agreeing with that is your problem.

[–] Plastic_Ramses@lemmy.world 0 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

And your "principled choice" led to even worse genocide.

So you got that going for you.

Oh, I see. It only matters now because something actually effects you. You can ignore genocide when it happens elsewhere easily enough, but it's too close for your comfort now, huh?

Please keep going about how voting was going to save us from something the Republican party has been trying to do since Reagan. Gonna block you now since I have more important stuff to do and you've already taken up too much of my time. Have fun seething!
