Doing my part

Your argument would be better if the most powerful factions that oppose it weren't genocidal themselves.

[braininabox@lemmy.ml]

Whataboutism

[dragontypewyvern@midwest.social]

Not at all what that means but good try, you'll be a debate bro yet.

Somehow I think pretty much none of those people are going to do jack and shit. Being a revolutionary is hardcore and I can respect that but only posting memes online is some Reddit ass slacktivism.

[braininabox@lemmy.ml]

God you people are scum.

[mutilationwave@lemmy.world]

Righteous. We should be friends.

[dragontypewyvern@midwest.social]

Reee only scum would support genocidal zealots! No not my genocidal zealots! How dare you point out my blatant hypocrisy!

[ph3ra@lemmy.ml]

That would be me if I had children

[braininabox@lemmy.ml]

Least incoherent genocide supporter.

[dragontypewyvern@midwest.social]

Ok bot

Yep. It was pretty wild that some people actually fell for the Palestine argument. That was only really an issue for a very small minority of the left. Most average Americans couldn’t find it on a map, much less a reason to give a shit about it.

Ultimately, it wasn’t even necessary to try and fracture the left with the Palestine argument. It was already fractured enough that she never stood a chance.

Even in a fairly normal race, it’s silly to think voters would care more about people half a world away, rather than the issues they’re dealing with themselves like the high cost of living, housing shortages, etc.

Mitigating damage isn't sexy, but it has to be done before real progress is even possible. Instead, we're running fast in the opposite direction.

The NSA compromised the TOR network as long ago as 2013, it's not anonymous.

[ubergeek@lemmy.today]

No, they did not. This has been a rumor since the Tor project was created by the DoD. Same rumors about selinux.

[bluewing@lemm.ee]

Being a revolutionary means you are willing to die for your cause. Ain't none of those wannabes willing to die for anything. As long as they have their steam deck.

They just to cry to their mommies and expect the world to cater to their every want and whim. Life doesn't work like that and never has.

[wowwoweowza@lemmy.world]

So… what’s the alternative?

[_stranger_@lemmy.world]

They absolutely did, and very likely could again at any time. It does matter what you do if they monitor literally all the traffic everywhere, which they do.

[_stranger_@lemmy.world]

I agree, but political power to what end? People usually use political power to get people elected. What's the alternate use for political power? Lobbying is just buying off already elected people, and even a violent coup is using political power to install a different political system, so what's the point of political power if you don't use it for politics?

Accelerationism refers to the idea of intentionally making capitalism the worst version of itself so that people have to revolt. It doesn't work; it makes everything worse without accomplishing the end goal. Generally, the people making these arguments aren't coming right out and saying they're accelerationists, but they get there indirectly.

People won't bring the revolution just because things are bad. You need class consciousness first.
