DagwoodIII comments on Do you agree?

[–] DagwoodIII@piefed.social 1 point 1 year ago (30 children)

Pay attention.

The GOP has been trying to stop people from voting for years.

The GOP loves when people say "both sides are the same."

That was Trump's big message in 2016; he was outside the system and would shake things up.

You pay attention.

The GOP doesn't want to stop all people from voting. Just the poor ones. They still draw their supposed legitimacy from the electoral process.

The GOP loves when people say "both sides are the same."

Umm... no. Also: that's a horrible way to boil down legit critique of electoralism.

That was Trump's big message in 2016; he was outside the system and would shake things up.

Yeah. He used the myth of electoralism being in the interest of the working class.

I'm as much against far right governments as you are. The difference is that you Complain about individuals not voting the right way instead of asking yourself if the system is already rigged in favour of the ruling class.

If voting could change anything vital, it would be illegal.

Those are your words you are walking back away from.

Of course the system is built to favor the richest. Once you get past the hunter/gatherer stage that's an axiom.

It's a lot easier to get an FDR elected than it is to overthrow the entire system.

No, that a false assumption you're making and that is very convenient for the system to uphold.

Yeah. The duct-tape usually is easier than properly fixing something.

Sounds like you've abandoned your original statement and now you're just shouting about how I'm wrong.

Why don't you lay out a detailed plan of how we create your utopia.

How? You didn't really address my original statement, so of course I didn't elaborate much further. The GOP drawing their supposed legitimacy underlines my original statement, btw.

Why don't you lay out a detailed plan of how we create your utopia.

Hou much time to you have? /j

Books have been filled with the topic, which is still unsolved to this day. Expecting me to give you a "detailed plan" can't be meant in good faith. At least it seems that way. I can answer your question only in a very boiled down manner: through bottom-up organizing.

I can point you to a direction though. The anarchist FAQ has both the answer to your question in more detail than I could write in a comment. It also a good introductory text.

I also have a video explaining why voting does not help in liberating people.

So, the plan is unsolved, but we shouldn't do a 'duct tape' solution in the mean time.

You keep sitting there and act privileged while us poor misguided folks do actual work.

Feel free to sit on the sidelines and tell us how we're doing it wrong.

if the duct tape is stabilizing the underlyingissue: yes.

You're making awfully wild assumptions about strangers on hhe internet, comrade. I'm actively organizing.

I didn't take anything out of context.

You want to blow hot and cold and then get upset when I notice and call you out.

But thanks for taking so much of your valuable organizing time to amuse me with your antics.

I tried to have a serious conversation. When I pointed out that you were contradicting yourself you kept making yourself more and more foolish.

If you'd like to be treated seriously, try not to trip over your own words.

Actually, it's the people who upvote me and reply with intelligent comments that let me know when I'm actually engaging and, hopefully learning something.

It's a nice feeling. You should try it sometime.

I'm not claiming that trolling is all you do. Just that's what you're doing in conversation with me.

Edit: checked your other replies. Nothing but strawmen, claiming that people actually argue for anom', when they're arguing for a more equal distribution of decision making power. But you're well to occupied sucking your own e-penis.

Sounds like techno-babble on a copaganda show.

"Those perps are using bandwidth, Captain. We'll never find them now."

I'd put in a link to a video to show you how to do it, but I know you don't have enough bandwidth.

That's the silliest thing you've posted.

You're not worth the bandwidth for the instance host, smartypants.

You're not on reddit here (although you obviously brought your mannerisms). Lemmy/piefed isn't owned by a tech giant, but by volunteers with relatively limited resources.

You're not worth the few hundred kilobytes.

I'm sure all those complicated words hurt your brain a bit. Better have a rest and lie down.

When you wake up, you could try to look up the difference between anarchy and anomy. It seems you have a really hard time grasping that.

But I doubt you're gonna start wanting to extend the claustrophobic limits of the milk carton you call "knowledge" now, if your previous smug comments are to trust.
