Personally, Gaza and his anti-railway workers union action was enough to destroy any credibility he had so far.

What a meaningless reply lol

If you tell someone that what they’re doing is pointless, you ought to be prepared to suggest a better course of action.

What a meaningless reply lol

I like how you act as if no action can be valid other than vote, I mean you got told here and just acted like a fool whilst acting smug.

I just got told something that people that are also voting are also doing, and they’re pretending like they are doing something revolutionary by doing those things while refusing to vote lol.

You guys are acting like leaving tools on the table is somehow going to get the job done faster.

Utterly fucking delusional lol

Have fun with your delusional accelerationist fantasies, раб

Wait surely Biden is the accelerationist candidate though, given that he's a muttering corpse of a man??? wowee

Edit: never been called "раб" before, fresh!

Well thanks for letting the class know that you have no idea what accelerationist means lol.

Looking forward to your next snarky reply after you furiously Google the definition and try and find some way to spin out yet another edgy remark.

thinking-about-it No you're right, it is actually sort of a toss-up when it comes to which guy would bring about US decline faster - weird rude twitter guy who gives 0 fucks about foreign policy, or shambling brain-melted corpse whose team is so committed to the status quo they'll go down with the ship?

In 2016 Trump was obviously the accelerationist candidate.

In 2020, in the middle of covid, I would argue Trump was still the accelerationist candidate.

But in 2024, with two American vassals in the middle of separate wars, bricks continuing to expand and solidify, The failure of Russian sanctions, The failure of microprocessor sanctions on China, The US Navy's defeat in the Red Sea, a covid policy that essentially comes down to "pretend it doesn't exist" and The Democrats embrace of Republican border policy; I have a hard time seeing Biden as anything except the accelerationist choice anymore.

Is your name an ERB reference?

[–] NapoleonBlownApart@hexbear.net 4 points 4 months ago

Nope. Just something that popped into my head at work

The best way to push the dems left is letting them lose, otherwise they will continue to sprint to the right.
