    Yeah… But also, Carlin was right saying this shit is all a stage. We’ve got groups of bullies picking on us, and I’d rather throw bricks than help them decide who to pick on next.

    If “harm” and “less harm” are the only two options, then the only question is how quickly you die. There’s the argument that we have to do “harm reduction” in order to buy time to organize for something better, but we’ve been procrastinating for decades apparently. Since all of history informs us that humans act only when inaction is no longer tenable (and sometimes not even then), really the only material difference between “harm reduction” and accelerationism is, again, the timeline.

    Well yeah but the one of the people who voted for ice cream downvoted a post about gaza one time so CLEARLY the entire bus sacrificing themselves just in case it might save gaza is the better option. Also there’s an atomic bomb factory in a heavily populated area at the bottom of the cliff so basically the same amount of people as the entire population of gaza are going to die if this happens but protecting Gaza is more important than protecting loved ones apparently.

    Is voting for controlled opposition harm reduction?

    Like I agree that Kamala was the correct choice, but her inevitably milquetoast liberal policies would keep us stagnant until people voted in the next Republican out of boredom

    Everyone’s upset about the vegan ice cream voters not voting for regular ice cream.

    No one is upset at the regular ice cream people for being unwilling to vote for a vegan ice cream place because their choice is default in their mind.

    Both sides are holding each other hostage. One has a moral reason and the other just doesn’t want to compromise.

    And yet.

    The people who want to get ice cream are also helping a psychopath murder innocent civilians so it’s a bit of a toss up

    Posts like this are literally driving a wedge into the people who don’t want the bus to fall off the cliff, and dividing them.

    This has to be a psyop launched by cliff voters, right? They are probably laughing looking at y’all tearing into each other…

    I keep being told I’m a fascist for voting for the harm reduction by people on lemmy though.

    Indeed, “word up.” Although, the voting machines received upgrades and who knows what really occurred.

    Another day of pretending that voters gaza concerns wouldn’t be the easiest thing in the world to adress. But no not even a speaking spot at the democratic conversation. But please growel more, surely you are bound to be treated with the respect in the future.
