@MrDunes@lobster_kai@RepRashida The only person avoiding actually discussion is you. Unity in making craven unethical decisions is not something to celebrate. You want a negative peace at the expense of those having their human rights violated.
@lackingsaint There is nothing we can do *inside the bounds of us political system*. There are decades where nothing happens, and weeks when decades happen. Agitate for an alternative when you're feeling doomed. Spend time thinking about the world you want.
@JRanTheMan@Zabracus That's why I'm wondering if this is just too simple a way to convey this idea. Maybe they say they are 5 because there's no literal visual synapses, when the others consider their thought images to be wholly "visual."
@voidpaw@ScottLloydWoodw@Zabracus Same for me and it makes reading very frustrating. Any given sentence is a risk of sending my brain on a "that makes me think of x" tangent but my eyes have kept reading, so I absorb nothing and have to reread while actively suppressing that thought path.
@IolaElla My perception is that Democrats are handicapped by a necessity to appear fair and humane to their base whereas Republicans can have my whole family thrown in prison to raucous applause just because we have a BLM flag. So I'm not voting to support a cause I'm picking my adversary.
@cathasach4bikes@IolaElla In the case with most things it depends on the mind of the individual. You could say voting legitimizes the hegemony, but believers in electoralism will just say that not voting legitimizes the status quo because you aren't representing your ideology in the process.
@Blarfk@krischitchat @HandsViolet @SabbySabs2 That's not what she said though, and regardless of whether or not they did before hand waving peoples legit economic concerns is shit PR.
@SamMaxis13 @Zenthils @dustybizzle @LilySimpson1312 As a film worker, I already received my check by the time it is made. The only people losing fractions of pennies on residuals are already mostly very rich. Also, because someone pirates something for $0 doesnt necessarily mean they would have bought it for actual money otherwise
