I have seen a lot of leftists advocate for direct action and opposition to casting any vote. What’s the plan for this direct action? What will its effectiveness be against a potential project 2025?
(This question is not directed to anyone who has decided to vote and engage in direct action, or the two Trump supporters on Lemmy.)
@queermunist@lemmy.ml’s #1 suggestion for leftists is… killing themselves.
Welp.
Lemmy has a stalker problem already.
That’s a fucking lie, I didn’t suggest anyone do this. For some more context:
Bushnell’s sacrifice was so fucking brave and should be honored, which is why PFLP and Hamas both made statements of support. It’s the highest form of protest and the only single act of protest that has ever accomplished anything in history. How dare you say his sacrifice was in vain?
That’s not a suggestion. That’s a fact. No other protest will ever matter the way this does. Rest in power Aaron Bushnell.
I’m too scared to die, but I also know that’s the only thing I could ever hope to do that would ever matter. I’m nothing compared to that.
Maybe I deserve to die. I’ve spent my entire life supporting the empire with my labor and consumption and taxes. My inaction kills thousands and what do I fucking do about it? Whine? I’ll never accomplish a fraction of what Bushnell did. I’m worthless.
You definitely aren’t worthless and your voice does matter. Vote.
What Aaron Bushnell did took incredible courage, no doubt, but sadly it won’t change much in this day and age with so much information being shared constantly 24/7.
Vote for genocide?
I’d rather die.
There is more than 2 options … and if you think everyone is out to kill everyone else you’ve been brainwashed and are naive. No one is perfect, no. But that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t vote for someone that ticks most of the boxes for you.
No one ticks most of the boxes for me! The best I can do is vote for the lesser of two genocides.
I’d rather die.
