    The rhetorical refuge of libs trying to vote scold right now is that genocide is going to happen either way, so you need to swallow your selfish pride and vote for the least bad genocide enabler.

    A vote for someone endorsing genocide is apparently not approval of the genocide either. Vote for genocide but shake your head while doing it so everyone sees you disapprove.

      In this day and age, my ‘selfish pride’ is the only thing the government hasn’t managed to rob me of yet, after taking everything else that could allow for a comfortable, equitable life that didn’t mean selling every last iota of my waking time to some capitalist piece of shit who will sooner steal my labor than pay me what I’m worth.

      So I’m keeping it, and they can eat the blackest part of my ass if they think I’m going to discard it for them. These ain’t allies, comrades, or countrymen.

      I dont get how libs dont recognize how vote scolding just galvanizes whoever theyre scolding against them is the thing. Like it works on literally noone. Is it just a ritual to virtue signal to the in group?
