    What do you think Luigi was doing?

    Why do you think they cracked down on him in such a spectacle? There was a fella that shot up a church and the prep walk was a single gangly ginger but every badge in the county was there to walk Luigi. The trial is still on going and yet Netflix has a “documentary” espousing his guilt with information his defense learned about ONLY FROM WATCHING SAID DOCUMENTARY.

    One person lashing out isn’t enough. And believe me, as much as I’d love to, indiscriminate violence isn’t the objective and even if I had access to a target my daughter and disabled partner actively need me. Believe me, I’d rather be dead than watch y’all mash on the buttons like you think the controller is plugged in but people need me.

    So I try to at least get you to ask why none of your buttons work hoping you’ll eventually notice the game is playing you.

    I’ve been an engineer for decades and the first step in fixing something -properly- is to identify the root cause of the issue. Painting the crack in the sheet rock doesn’t address the shifting foundation.

    Everything “left” in the United States is still right of center politically. AOC and Sanders are centrists in a global sense at best.

    Killing a billionaire is cool and all, but the assets just go to next of kin and the system chugs on.

    Liberalism is the slow road to fascism because it will always defer to capitalism over democracy but definition. Liberalism comes laissez-faire thinking which funny enough includes conservatives.

    The underlying root assumption has become everything should be about profit, period. Liberals aren’t raising taxes because their campaign contributions come from corporations- the only people that matter thanks to Scotus.

    Democrats couldn’t secure roe v Wade in 50 years regardless of how large their advantage. Inversely, regardless of how small the Republican advantage or minority, they always get their way.

    Either voting works and this is the system it got us or it never mattered and we were led here.

    If you think what Trump is saying about just taking Greenland is ridiculous you need to look into how it’s exactly how the US acquired Hawaii.

    The US has been at war the entirety of its existence save like 10 sporadic years. We are an imperialist war machine and the reason you don’t believe that is a lifetime of exposure to textbooks and news programming owned by an ever concentrated collective of VERY conservative hands.

    You can’t be liberal for capitalism but against fascism and colonial imperialism because they’re the same thing with new paint. Both require extracting profit and resources for the benefit of private shareholders. The largest difference between the two is how far you are from the exploitation.

    But also not sure where I advocated against voting before you chimed in assuming as much.

          That’s a pretty concise tldr.

          That doesn’t really refute my point then.

          Damage mitigation voting is a necessary but not sufficient requirement for progress.

          Ranting about violence online is masturbatory.

              Counterpoint: if you can’t choose where to spend your time, you’ll end up spending all of it arguing online.
