Nobody deserves shit
Okay, then don't get defensive when people decide your bad ideas don't deserve respect
Wym, twelve thousand dead, thousands more disappeared and forty years of martial law is a small price to pay to combat authoritarianism!
Real talk, my wife's parents grew up on Taiwan during the white terror period and they are horribly traumatized, horribly abusive fascist assholes who she cut ties with as soon as she possibly could. Forty fucking years of martial law, can you imagine what that does to people?
"I had it kind of rough as a kid so I deserve to thoughtlessly gorge myself at the imperial blood feast without being reminded of what it is I'm eating."
That's cool man, I'm sure all the other kids growing up in small villages will understand and forgive your supporting their brutal extermination. They'd probably look up at you with stars in their eyes and think "Wow, he came from a small village too, and if I work really hard and believe in myself, that could be me plugging my ears and justifying the ultimate crime one day!"
Inspiring stuff.

Now you're just lazily regurgitating Orwell-style fed bullshit about how somehow revolution won't change anything.
"Everyone except the people that end up against the wall" yeah that's the point dumbass, the oligarchs cannot be allowed to fuck up the new world too
Just one more election bro, I know we have The Camps and everyone on earth has organs laden with microplastic and we've killed fully one third of the forests and the oceans are turning to acid, but now is not the time for radical change bro
I'm sure your life will (moderately, bipartisanly) improve when the oceanic algae is all dead and you can no longer breathe. At least then you won't have the air to speak this tired nonsense, and I'll only have to listen to our gasping coughs as we wait for the harm reduction to kick in.
A mass casualty event? Brother we've been in the mass extinction event for years, and every day we don't destroy the system that created it is another day the odds of the human species surviving the next couple centuries continues to fall towards zero.
See, because the anglosphere is drenched in leftover christian thought, and because liberals fundamentally have a magical view of the world and society, you see revolution as something akin to the rapture: some grand external event to be prayed for and waited on. Meanwhile, since communists have a scientific view of the world and society, we see revolution as a machine to be built. What you're doing is the equivalent of walking up to a shipyard and going "Pffft, good luck magically manifesting your glorious ships, idiot." Just a fundamental misunderstanding of how history develops. Movements just spontaneously arise at full strength out of nowhere in the movies and video games we all grew up on, so of course reality must work the same way, right?
You want to talk about "we're in reality"? Yeah, we're in the reality where the working class in many countries have already achieved the building of a revolution. That's a concrete fact, not some article of faith you can pessimistically handwave away to justify your continued murderous apathy. We live in reality, so roll up your sleeves and get to work with the rest of us.
Hahaha holy shit dude what the fuck is wrong with you
Me: "You can actually build a better life with your friends and neighbors, here's what I've managed to achieve so far"
You: "Oh so you're gonna HUNT ME FOR SPORT? There's no PLACE for me in your SICK WORLD, huh? Guess I'll just support the camps then!"

"Build a revolution for me and then I'll show up after"
Consumer brain is a disease on par with Alzheimer's. You'll never be anything but a dead weight to any social organization with that attitude. Look around yourself, opportunities to build have never been more abundant. I've helped create a recurring mutual aid event in the community where we exhange food, clothing and services, much of it homegrown and handmade. We have regular self defense training and educational lectures from people of different expertise. We're connected with the local ICE watch org, a growing anti data-center movement and Palestinian orgs for miles. We are beginning to host study sessions and draw up outlines for political education. We even have a direct member with a shot at city council, which would make our job even easier than it is now, which, I gotta tell you, is pretty easy these days. People are fucking done with all of it.
All of this and more can be yours. This is what I have achieved in less than one year of really, actively studying and trying after having spent the previous decade as a depressed addict. The only thing holding you back is this learned helplessness, this ingrained idea that someone else has to do it first because you are incapable.
thanks for using Leebra!
