Getting real "That happened" vibes here.

Fucking shit heads. I hope they [redacted].

Reading these comments I feel a sense of dread. You are all experiencing survivor bias. Initially when I ran into barriers I gave up for like a year before bothering to try Lemmy again.

If you don't want Lemmy to serve as an actual counter to corporate controlled social media if it means letting in "normies" then you are content with corporate controlled social media continuing to dominate our lives. Which sounds about right for humanity. The smugness is vile.

Just bring on the vacuum decay event already.

A desperate belief that they are impoverished because they need to compete with an ethnic out group and a belief that the out group is taking their shit, murdering them, and stealing/raping their women.

Even though its largely due to capitalism and technologically induced paranoia & loneliness.

You want a bunch of people to suffer and die in addition to the people already doomed to suffer and die on the off chance we get a better world at the end of it.

If this is accurate (and I'd almost bet money that it is), you are evil and shouldn't be listened to.

You disprove of trying to prevent fascism.

They wouldn't be enabling shit because the idea that simply not turning out for the election would end the violence is completely and utterly delusional.

40% of them didn't vote.

Wanting a good GUI doesn't mean you don't know what you are doing.

Hit the Whooper Button!

As an American, no, at least when it comes to averages. Fuck the average American.

I mean I disagree, but I am curious. Who then?

I might have to do that.

Both equally insufferable, but NFT son is more consequentially risky.

I also discount your political takes because it has lead us to doom.

OK, so you are saying the world started out "broken"? I guess it'd be best if a vacuum decay event just instantly wiped out humanity at the cradle in that case.

I don't view Harris as a fascist and I more or less agree with Womble.

That's not what I said. I had a strategy, it was to put my energy into an election outcome that would prevent the fascist from winning. I don't view Kamala Harris as a fascist like you seem to, shes at worst a typical neo-liberal. I'd rather fight against a neo-liberal than a fascist. She lost, and all available non-passive options are now awful and I am not motivated to do much other than openly hate almost everyone even slightly responsible in this outcome.

Available strategies now include: Hunker down and survive an indeterminate number of years, flee the country, or die in a doomed rebellion. All knowing the earth is cooked at every corner anyway so who gives a flying fuck.

I'm not doing that last strategy, you can have fun getting shot in the street by fascists if you want. I'm going to just try my best to not die.

Yes you do. You support him via advocating for a completely ass backwards promotion of third party voting.

If a third party is to be even remotely viable in FPTP, you don't fucking start with the presidency.

You can't magically drum up sufficient support for a candidate to win the fucking presidency with zero/near zero seats in congress or the senate.

Having a strategy doesn't guarantee ideal outcomes. It also clearly doesn't guarantee you avoid the worst ones either. We were never inevitably going to the promised land. The key was to maximize good and minimize bad. We've maximized bad.

It doesn't matter that much anymore. I'm not advocating we continue any strategy because I think we're doomed now. We're on a sinking ship and you are arguing over whether we can swim across the entire ocean to safety.

The new goal is to not die due to a fascist take over the United States. A lot of us are about to fail that. Maybe me, maybe you. We'll see in 4 years.
