      “Oh if you correctly identify an issue with our current system then you must have organised a proletarian uprising that will be launched as soon as I ask it of you, otherwise your argument is moot.”

        More like “You want to discourage people from voting and encourage rebellion because you’re a moronic accelerationist who has no clue what he’s actually suggesting.”

          What lib podcast mentioned accelerationism? You guys all mention it now, and you do it wrong by the way. An accelerationist would vote democrat since they are more capable stewards of empire and the accelerationist wants capital to accumulate as quickly as possible.

            Seriously! I’m genuinely curious to know. It’s so fucking obvious the way they all started suddenly using it constantly while clearly not knowing what it means.

              I have a board game friend who is very into Behind the Bastards and has recently been using accelerationism out of nowhere. Not sure if behind the bastards is the cause for sure though since I don’t listen to it.

          Interesting. So aside from proving that you don’t know what accellerationists do or believe and that you literally cannot imagine any way to make a difference other than your quadrennial tilt at the windmills begging the ruling class for better crumbs, was there a point to your comment?

            your quadrennial tilt at the windmills

            Funny, for people who hate having generalizations made about them, y’all certainly make a lot of generalizations.

            By the way, quadrennial would mean that I only care during the midterms, since that’s what election season we’re in. Biannually is the word you’re looking for.

          No, that doesn’t fit at all. I think you might have replied to the wrong comment? Or maybe you misread something?

              Correctly identifying the issues with a system does not mean you have to have all solutions a disingenuous lazy asshole wants from you immediately.
              Being able to deduce that voting for genociders does nothing good does not mean a person has to actively sit at the helm of a militant revolutionairy organisation.

                We need solutions, not platitudes. Do you have any real solutions or are you going to say some vague bullshit like “organize”?

                  We need solutions, not platitudes.

                  So keeping the status quo and hoping for an eventual improvement to the system is something you can wait forever for. But when pushed against this, you expect instant solutions.

                    Because y’all never give any real solutions. I’m convinced that you’d rather bitch than do at least the bare minimum, which is voting.

                  What a strange non sequitor.

                  Getting involved with a principled leftist party or a principled union or a principled leftist volunteer org (ie. organising) is far more helpful and does far more than voting for genocidal fascists ever could. That you need an immediate panacea in order to be dissuaded from voting for genocide is not something anyone but you can do anything about. If any of these things are too much (they aren’t) then at the very least just vote third party.
