Anyway, new rule:
If I'm talking about why capitalist states are adopting fascist policies regardless of stated ideological goals, because that's the only way to keep doing capitalism on a boiling planet as literally billions of people die, and you start trying to make me talk about voting in American elections where there are only capitalist parties, you're out the airlock.
I do not care what YOU do with your time, I never told you not to vote, it's irrelevant to me. Stop wasting my time.
It is absolutely not my fault that you cannot conceive of a politics that doesn't revolve entirely around casting a ballot once every four years but I have no interest in walking you through this anymore. We are going to end capitalism, or billions of people are going to die. To do that, we're going to have to stomp fascism because fascism is a tool for rich ppl to keep doing capitalism on a boiling planet even if ppl don't WANT to die for them.
That's my focus. I do not care about your vote.
I am not kidding, and there will be no exceptions. I have a very limited amount of energy to work with these days and I'm never again going to spend that energy bandying wits with folks who don't even know the policies their own leaders support and enact. If you sincerely believe "fascism is only when the GOP does it" we're not on the same side, you're not an antifascist, and I'm very much tired of wasting my energy on you.
Capitalists, all of them, are trying to kill you for money. Good chat.
@AnarchoNinaWrites I don't think the capitalists are trying to kill me, they are trying to use me. and if I die, that is no reason to stop it, unless it reduces profit. Throughout history so many people have died that no capitalist has stopped it until the states have regulated it. The states did not want to and did not stop the killing, they regulated it. they wanted to stop the self killing of capitalism. they wanted to secure capitalism on there lands because that is the states income. 1/2
@lucy_idk " don't think the capitalists are trying to kill me, they are trying to use me. and if I die, that is no reason to stop it, unless it reduces profit." - this is a meaningless distinction; when you know that continuing to do capitalism on a boiling planet will kill billions, and you do it anyway, you're "killing billions for money."
The rest of your reply treats states as a separate entity from capital, when capital OWNS states, and ignores buildup of security states to DEFEND capital.
@lucy_idk due to financialization, literally billions of people in the global labor force are surpless to capital's requirements. There is not going to come a point when states fight climate catastrophe to protect capital BEFORE billions of people die. That's why states, owned and operated BY capital, are hardening borders, building security forces, and curtailing civil rights to protect capital, by force.
I could have lived without the two replies "explaining" things to me, wrong.
