  • Because in a flawed system you can’t get to your ideal outcome without actively trying to minimize harm. There’s more to politics than Israel-Palestine and one party advocates replacing as many non politically appointed federal employees with as many partisans as they can and the other has members pushing for legislation to make third parties more viable.

    Maybe if there was any meaningful attempt to grow local support we wouldn’t have to pick between a terrible or a horrific option but you don’t get there by not voting.






  • Actually I bring this up because when talking about famines people love to downplay the strife caused by capitalists maximizing profit and socializing loses.

    Ironically your last paragraph is a pretty accurate paraphrasing of the usual dialogue around capitalisms faults.


  • I’m glad you answered in their stead. Obviously you’re the kind of person to steel man arguments to truly show their weaknesses and strengths. You’d never regurgitate boiler plate talking points from people opposed to the ideology.

    Never look up how many famines have been overseen by capitalist countries btw. It’d make your comparison lack any meaningful difference. India was run by the east India trading company when they had the bengal famine after all. And don’t forget how the Irish “potato” famine happened. (The British made it a crime to keep any non potato crop for themselves).
