I’m envious of the way the French protest their government. They’re literally setting things on fire because their schools aren’t adequate. Because the government tried to raise the retirement age. Because their politicians are shitbags.
I think the biggest obstacle to organizing in the US is the sheer distance. It takes 40 solid hours of driving to get from one side to the other. That’s not counting any breaks. France takes about 14 hours. Doable in a day or so if you push it.
Anyway, I’d sign up for a Revolution if there was a serious contender.
What it means is, for one thing, that I value the lives of Americans and non-Americans equally. Something your buddy over here explicitly rejects.
It’s genuinely bizarre to me that you people keep trying to reach me or expecting me to join your party as if I shared any of your values at all. If you head over to Truth Social, you can find no shortage of people who will happily agree that Americans are inherently worth more than non-Americans, so you have a lot more common ground to work with. Why not talk to them? They’re much closer to you ideologically than I am.
Also, I legitimately don’t know how I could possibly communicate this more clearly, but I do not care, at all, whatsoever, what you think of me. I don’t respect you at all. When I call you fascists, I mean it, and when you talk shit about me, it means as much as when the red brand of fascists talk shit about me. Y’all keep responding to me like you’re trying to shame me or something. It’s bizarre. Again, I have absolutely zero respect for you, I have negative desire for your approval.
Legitimately, I keep telling you guys this straight out, I keep calling you fascists, and you keep not getting it. I don’t know what else I can possibly do to get it through your heads that I hate your fucking guts.
Because these are all vacuous statements devoid of prescriptions.
They sound good online for your pals. They just don’t contribute anything meaningful. We’re not trying to reach you. We’re just pointing out how useless you are, no matter how much you keep insisting to the world that you care about ____ [insert popular cause here] _____.
You equate democrats to Republicans, yet you are uninformed about most of the topics because you can shield yourself behind Palestine (just the topic du jour) including how different the two parties approach middle east. I bet my life’s savings you don’t even know what is actually going on there.
Wed all take you more seriously if at least you had some semblance of a prescription, but you don’t even have that. The most useless of vacuous performative bullshit.
Bruh. I do not care. Why would I proscribe you a course of action? Your values and goals are fundamentally incompatible with mine. Because I believe in equality, and you reject it.
Am I useless? Good! I don’t want to be “useful” from your perspective, because I don’t want the same things you do. I have no interest in advancing or supporting, in “being useful” to your fascist agendas. I believe in equality.
You can think that I’m being performative, you can think that I’m ignorant, you can think whatever the fuck you want about me. It does not matter. Your side in this discussion explicitly rejects the very notion of equality! You don’t even pretend anymore! Even if every single bullshit accusation you lobbed at me was true (which they aren’t), it’s still better to be a performative, ignorant, vacuous whatever, than to be a fucking fascist! It is better to try to do the right thing and fail than to try to do the wrong thing and succeed.
As I said to the other person, do the world a favor and remove a fascist from it.
What else is there to say?
