"exactly what I want" is so funny to me, when those 2-3 parties are ideologically entirely opposite to me. In every core political topic they are working against what I stand for. So speak for yourself, we are not the same.
In the second paragraph we have the same old stupid false dilemma I'm tired of hearing. I'm a fascist for wanting an actual democracy more than the oligarchy we have now, that protects, serves the interests and perpetuates the existence of these monopolies right?
Also, I'm sure my critique about the revolving door, the oligarchs controlling and funding the politicians and promoting them in their media are the "lines made by anti-democratic institutions". I'm sure they say those things and I'm sure the mega corporations are not thriving and better than ever with the system we have now lol.
Not only didn't you answer my critique but you didn't even acknowledge it. Did it bother you so much that I critiqued the status quo? This is one of the most bad faith answers I've ever gotten, good job๐
well damn, if you really can't find a difference between the 2โ3 parties, that generally means you don't actually care much about what they do.
As for being a fascist, if you help fascists, I think you're a fascist, and the anti voting BS does in fact help the fascist. the oligarchs control politics in large part because of the same voter apathy you are spreading right now, we had governments, be it in Europe, America, Asia, or Africa that worked against corporate interests, until people became apathetic about it.
but you claim to critique the status quo, when you don't even understand the status quo and how we got here.
I didn't say I don't find differences between them, you are putting words in my mouth once again. I said that the differences are miniscule to me considering how ideologically opposite they are to me. I deeply care about what they do, if I didn't care, I wouldn't hate them so much. This argument doesn't make any sense. If I don't care about what they do, then why would I hate them?
Am I spreading voter apathy? Apathetic are the people that go vote for these two oligarchs without thinking about it ever. These fanatics are apathetic. I'm actually trying to make people think about it. I hate them and I'm explaining why it is so, I'm not apathetic about them and I don't want people to be so, I want people to hate them as well, why is it so hard to grasp? Why do you say unrelated, wrong stuff and have me waste my time answering them? This is so clearly not what I said.
For the last part I don't know what to say honestly. You say I don't know how the status quo works(?) and your argument for it is some of the most vague phrases out together ever. "We had governments in Europe, America, Asia and Africa that worked against corporate interests until people became apathetic about it". What am I supposed to say to this lmfao. No justification, nothing specified, no thought put into this, just vague, unrelated words put together.
If people like you, on the dnc payroll call me fascist(even in the most shameless way) I'm doing something right. This was such a waste of time lol
