    I am not so sure it will delay it. If we get a democrat then they will move the goal post for worse, if we don’t we will lose democracy we don’t have. During Trump there where some good antigovernment riots due to George Floyd and American army moved out of Afghanistan. During Biden, we got war in Ukraine and increased genocide in Gaza. Altough they both have same goals, there are benefits to having an evil idiot instead of evil smarter person in power.

    Either way, you can vote for whoever you want and It won’t really hurt. But it definitely wont help either.

    I am not against voting, but the metaphor is really wrong and it doesn’t communicate how voting changes almost nothing.

    The problem is that Hilary supported Trump in pied piper strategy to have an easier person to run against. This means that you are doing exactly what they want you to do and they are protecting Trump because they need him to be the other candidate so you are forced to support ice cream made of genocide.

    Democrats are terrorists now, that hold the entire country hostage and demand murder of civilians in Gaza for their financial gain. We don’t have democracy either way, we will have genocide, wars and poverty either way. There really isn’t that big of a difference, because they support each other so they can win against us, the people. They are the same team, funded by same people, running on same campaigns, running the same narrative of lesser evil vs evil, while actually working together.

    Their next move is for democrats to support same policies that republicans do now, and fund even more extreme republicans so that can be their candidate. The strategy clearly works. Whatever you are voting against this elections, you will be forced to vote for the next.

    it is not just farming land that is valuable, sometimes there are good fishing spots and etc in scarce regions. However those are far rarer situations and usually there is plenty of food for everyone, but hard times also happen and then most animals and humans practice mutual aid. There is a good book about it, by Kropotkin, called Mutual aid. It isn’t long, I listened to the audio book.








  • I thought I replied to the main point of the argument. I can reply to those specific questions, but I don’t think that really communicates my point. It is not necessarily as bad, but it is very close. I don’t really think that most problems with Trump are comparable to killing huge population of innocent people. Most of the problems are general racism, corruption and thievery. Most articles critiquing Trump aren’t about how he rounded up a bunch of innocent people in Gaza and starved them to death. As horrible as he is, you need to see the weight of these actions by Democrates and that they can not be accepted under no circumstances. They should be addressed as a priority.

    No one is saying that you don’t need to work for food to be produced, just that you shouldn’t be forced to work to pay for food, even if enough work was already done for that. We want fair share of work for everyone, not for the poor to work all the time just to get luxuries created for the rich.

    Humans naturally practice mutual aid and are good to each other. It is hierarchical systems that make them fight for power. Humans used to collectively fight everyone who got too greedy and powerful. It is only relatively recent development of agriculture that made it possible for violent people to grow huge armies and take over less connected tribes. Hopefully Internet can make as unite together on a global scale against the powerful, instead of fighting each other based on regions we live in.

    I don’t think that lack of voting was the problem, it was lack of direct action. You always get voting choices that both make things worse, so you have to fight outside of the voting booth. And for taxes, I shouldn’t have to give my money to the powerful rich that are running the state, but should be able to take tax from the rich that have more then others and make them share with everybody.
