      Economic base of society reproduces certain behaviors in our cultural/ideological superstructure. You want to manage the symptoms, I want to cure the disease.

        Well, let me know when you deploy the cure! Until then, symptoms should be managed, yes?

          How fucking telling of you LMAO

          You really are outing yourself as admitting doing nothing but voting. You can wait decades but when criticized or alternative methods are brought up, you demand instant results. Because in reality, you only care about yourself and white people.

            When did I say voting is the only thing I do? I’m saying that voting helps, and Republicans are allowed power, they make things much, much worse.

            They actually sell scarecrows, they might be more receptive to your strawmanning :)

              Hey, you haven’t answered my question from another reply to you. Since you demand answer all the time, I will do the same.

              Do you think accepting genocide is worth it for voting in Democrats?

              What do you do? When people criticize the democrats for its genocidal ambitions, them becoming openly transphobic and passing anti-trans bills while refusing any taxes on the wealthy. Who say that medicare for all is not going to happen.

              When people do that criticism, you start yelling and crying, defending them like the valiant warrior you see yourself as.

                  According to you, my daily routine is do genocide, hate my trans friends, give money to the wealthy, declare Medicare for All won’t happen, LARP as a valiant warrior.

                  Well, you sure seem to support that. You’re still dodging my question: Do you think accepting genocide is worth it for voting in Democrats?

                  Then, when the cognitive dissonance makes them angry, I receive insults, and use the negative energy to craft little gems I sell on Etsy.

                  Christ the smug reddit-speak. More proof that you are a shitlib who will defend genocide in exchange for treats within your borders.

          I’ll let the reformists do the reforming. And I’ll be there every step of the way to point out when those reforms don’t work.

          That is my job. The reformists only want to manage the symptoms. Or at least pretend that they want to manage the symptoms because they will come up with bureaucratic excuses to take away those reforms and to not let you have them in the first place.

            Are you actually bragging about having nothing useful to contribute to society?

            “I can’t do anything except criticize the people doing the actual work” isn’t the flex you seem to think it is.

      What about all the “silly vulnerable people” that do not vote, and what about the “silly vulnerable people” that prefer revolution over reformism as a strategy?
