Ooh, anti-democracy propaganda started early this cycle. I guess cons aren't so sure about this one so they had to start this voting supression psyop this time of the year.

Leftists: Don't worry it's late stage capitalism so inevitably it will all fall apart without us needing to do anything. If we voted for Kamala, nothing would be different anyway, so it's a good thing we're doing nothing.

Leftism is all about making people feel good about doing nothing. And that's the point. Online socialism is monetized (like everything else online) so they need to convince you to feel good about buying from the merch stores of online "socialist influencers".

It's a similar grift to the incel dating advice scam. If they gave good advice and your life improved you would stop consuming their content. Monetized socialism is always trying to sabotage liberals because if liberals were successful in improving people's lives, the monetized socialists would lose their income stream. Liberals are a natural ally to socialists, but they are the competition to monetized socialists.

So monetized socialists (Hasan, Vaush, etc) will constantly tell you how bad liberals are, because liberals are competition to them and they only care for that sweet monetization money.

Voting harder would have unironically prevented this situation.

Still wondering, are leftists just going to share memes or is this suggesting we start building bombs? The message I keep getting is that voting alone doesn't work, that liberals, even liberal protests, don't work, that peaceful resistance doesn't work.

So like... Who here is actually thinking of blowing something up or assassinating someone? Are we just talking big while looking around for someone to move first?

Even then, where are the Luigi copycats? If we are so much more effective than liberals, why the hell aren't we doing anything?
