        I love this comment. It’s like asking an ant to hold back the tide. The fact it’s said so unironically makes it better.

          The fact that that user recognises themselves as part of the country that has been nothing but a cancer in the world, and dislikes it, is already a lot and should be praised. They overcame the propaganda and used their minds and hearts to examine the world. 👍

            We appreciate it, but it materially doesn’t help us outside of the US and it also doesn’t help y’all inside either

                It’s literally nothing, and Americans thinking dumping their feeling into the cyber abyss is “doing something” is a huge part of the problem.

                  You’re too negative. You have a country full of people who think it’s okay to carpet bomb and pillage foreign nations because MURRICAFUCKYEAH, anyone who has fought against the indoctrination and thought just enough not to go straight to Hell has certainly done… something. Can’t expect everyone to go full John Brown.

                    You’re right. My congratulations to the few Americans that somehow manage to figure out that you’re not the inherent heroes you’ve been raised to believe you are. I guess that is something, sad as it may be.

              Hey brother

              I’m not sure who you are responding to.
              Me or @corsicanguppy.

              Corsicanguppy was asked to something.
              Corsicanguppy was being defeatist.
              I told him to be like the ant against the grassphopper.
              You’re saying that like ants, they should cooperate.
              To that I say, right on! That’s the spirit!

          Votes aren’t going to do shit for imperialism, that’s bipartisan. You also don’t need to Luigi people. Instead, you can organize in real life with a socialist party, and if the conditions for revolution arise, take part in that.

            Luigi is easy to understand. Voting is easy to understand. When people say “organize in real life” what exactly do you mean? Picnics?

              I mean joining an org like PSL, training and studying as an activist and directly participate in organizing outreach, educating others, forming protests, and more.

          Voting doesn’t work when the candidate needs campaign money to get voted for.
          If the candidate needs campaign money to get voted in, then the candidate will automatically be corrupt,
          as no one is going to freely give someone lots of money unless they expect something back from it,
          and if candidates need to be on tv and pay good money for being on tv,
          then the candidates choices are to be corrupt or to be unknown
          and you will need to organize a different system of electing leaders.
