Pardon me for not finding “vulnerable people need to die for my ideology” very convincing.

Oh look. It's time for another round of "the ethically bankrupt decisions of the powerful people in the world are your fault because voting is real."
It must be all the lead poisoning making people so shallow minded as to believe the toys they're sold and occupied with are anything but a means to keep them in line and shift blame. Your cheap TV tells you what they want you to think and exists for that. Voting is a black box that exists to convince you that there's a chance you can improve outcomes rather than just serve the rich. Political faces are literally only faces.
Change my mind. Prove to me that voting is actually implemented and a functional interaction with the world. Hint: Some words on my screen will be about as meaningful as a Harry Potter book at best. I see voting to be about as real of an attempt at achieving something as praying. It's a way to convince yourself your supposedly good intentions will have any sway over reality.
I need something better than faith.
Literally just read the meme you're responding to... Lol
He's not the only one
It's almost as if they have a little script of a handful of arguments that they like to switch among, and aren't actually organically reading the content and having organic thoughts that they feel like sharing in response, so it sometimes doesn't register with them if one of the things on their list has some specific connection with the meme they're responding to. Result, they don't react differently or even acknowledge the connection, they just say the thing on their list.
Almost as if
I wonder who would benefit most if these completely real and genuine people could get folks to stop voting by convincing everyone that is meaningless?
Oh look! I've joined the ranks of "they".
Flail around under water all you like. I prefer drowning the more peaceful way.
Must be nice inserting yourself in all the moments of the conversation you aren't part of and adding nothing to the thought taking place.
