I voted for the least capitalist party, but the most capitalist party won. Now the landlords are getting tax rebates and public services are running further into the ground.
A big chunk of apathetic people didn’t vote at all. By the time I retire (whatever that means) everything will be privatised.
Is that what you’ve observed? What we’ve seen is that not holding political parties accountable for their past actions leads to them ignoring everyone except their donors.
You need to stop pushing the idea that it doesn’t matter who you vote for and the poisonous idea that all politicians are equally corrupt. There are some very dangerous groups who have brainwashed you into pushing the very attitude that lets them get away with slowly eroding democracy.
I have never once pushed for people to not vote or that it doesn’t matter who you vote for. I don’t know what about this conversation made you think that.
Not really, no. Less cancer is always better than more cancer, no matter where it is.
You do know that everyone has a bit of cancer, right? Zero cancer just isn’t a thing that happens in an organism composed of trillions of cells. Likewise, zero exploitation and suffering just isn’t a thing that happens in a population composed of billions of people.
A little cancer is handled by immune reaction, a little more by medicine and surgery, a lot kills the organism. A little exploitation is handled by social reaction, a little more by political action, a lot kills the population.
No matter where the cancer is, less is better than more. We were in the treatable stage and you clowns insisted on skipping chemo.
No cancer is better, less cancer is not better - it’s still cancer. But if you’re willing to accept that, go for it; Enjoy your cancer.
And why are you comparing it with a ‘harmless’ amount of cancer that is naturally removed and not an issue instead of what any normal person thinks of when they hear cancer?

No cancer isn’t a thing. It’s only “better” in an unobtainable, hypothetical, entirely delusional sense. Refusing to settle for less than impossible things is just plain stupid. We were managing with less societal cancer. You skipped chemo because it makes you feel yucky, and now it’s metastasized. Are you proud of yourself?
What about capitalist lite™️?

Climate change please hurry up.
Maybe if everyone votes for the least capitalist party every time…
But they won’t. You know that, I know that, random raccoons in dumpsters know that.

You don’t have a solution if your solution starts with “if everyone would just”. That’s a hope or a fantasy. People won’t just.
The solution starts with you, Janet.

Don’t want to get your own hands dirty actually making a change?
Too busy being a wage slave in an endless churn cycle.
We can have a little exploitation and suffering as a treat.
The fact that it’s only a little is the treat
Oh yeah like a little bit of cancer. How lucky.
Uh, yeah, exactly? A little bit of cancer can be fought and beaten. A lot of cancer is a death sentence.
Depends where the cancer is doesn’t it now?
Not really, no. Less cancer is always better than more cancer, no matter where it is.
