Not really going “mask off” so much as making a salient point. If I lose more of my rights, what am I going to do? How can I fight back when I’m thrown in jail for existing? How can I do anything under Marshall law? You’re twisting words and again the election is already underway, so what do we do right now? Have YOU gone to any Harris rallies and called her out? Have you spoken to MAGA voters and convinced them to vote for a third party?
You have the luxury of your rights being the last on the chopping block or you’d understand.
But most of us already do that. We protest, vote with our money, donate/support when we can, and do everything short of stalking our representatives and we still have to choose between these two candidates. I vote in my local and state elections and have yet to see anyone running on a truly leftist platform and I don’t personally have the time, capital, and knowledge to run. I’m not trying to say “somebody else should do something about it”, but there’s not much more we can do about the election that is currently underway.
Some of my rights have already been taken away under the current Supreme Court and I’m not willing to risk the rights of myself and others for the sake of some self-righteous quest. So which candidate should we pick? There are two options that are more likely to win and a bunch of third parties that have little to no chance of winning in this election cycle. We can’t completely dismantle the system in a week so what else can we do right now?
So you kill the chicken by starving it/cockroaches banding together and killing it and then…??? Again I’m genuinely confused and assume I’m just seeing the analogy wrong
So who is the viable option that will stop the ongoing genocides AND protect our rights here? We can’t really do much if we all have our rights taken away, too.
This seems like a bad comparison because doesn’t the roach change the system by providing nutrients via digestion? Like if I eat vegetables my body will work better than if I eat junk food or straight up poison, which would give me the ability to make other meaningful changes rather than dealing with the health consequences. I guess I’m confused or overthinking this or something idk
3.5 orders of sausage and 1 cup of coffee (served scalding) so I can really wreck myself from mouth to anus
Seeing this back-to-back with your post in science memes made this even more enjoyable
