What lol? What a psychotic take
The psychotic take is saying, sure the party I'm going to vote for is committing crimes against humanity, but at least they're might be less repressive at home.
Oh you don't feel superior enough yet? Maybe you should be even more reductive. I think your throne might be too far up to see that us peons actually have to do something instead of just cry on the internet and then feel smug about it.
How dare you shame me for ignoring a genocide!
People voting for the party currently conducting a genocide are not in fact trying to do something about it. Thank you for coming to my TED talk.
Reductive, useless lies that ignore nuance and reality. Why am I not surprised? Seems like you've shut down so you don't have to think too hard about the reality of your existence so I think we're done for the day. Enjoy your couch. I'm sure we'll talk again in a few months. Cheers!
What's actually reductive is telling people that the only option they have is to vote for one of the genocidal parties. Why am I not surprised? Seems like you’ve shut down so you don’t have to think too hard about the reality of your existence so I think we’re done for the day. Enjoy your couch. I’m sure we’ll talk again in a few months.
