I completely agree. For me, it's a serious thing. My safety will definitely be impacted if Trump wins. I might go to prison or have my livelihood upended. But I'm not even the lowest on the pole. There are people who could die at the drop of a hat, or at the very least get kicked out of the country. There are whole nations whose fate is at stake. And, of course, making genuine progress on economic justice and real representation of the people is a key thing I would love to see, now or in the future. That's why it's irritating to see someone trying to undermine it under the guise of advancing it.
It's pretty obvious that this whole "lol" "don't care" "Gaza war stuff" pretense is just that. The guy clearly cares about the election, or he wouldn't make such a full-time mission out of posting his flood of content. It's only because he's being backed into a corner where he has to justify it that he's all of a sudden pretending that none of it means anything.
“Never believe that anti-Semites are completely unaware of the absurdity of their replies. They know that their remarks are frivolous, open to challenge. But they are amusing themselves, for it is their adversary who is obliged to use words responsibly, since he believes in words. The anti-Semites have the right to play. They even like to play with discourse for, by giving ridiculous reasons, they discredit the seriousness of their interlocutors. They delight in acting in bad faith, since they seek not to persuade by sound argument but to intimidate and disconcert. If you press them too closely, they will abruptly fall silent, loftily indicating by some phrase that the time for argument is past.” -Jean-Paul Sartre
The technology and tactics have evolved since 1944. "Intimidate and disconcert," in online spaces, has turned into "confuse and overwhelm." But the strategy is the same. Truth is irrelevant, an obstacle to be ignored or attacked, until it becomes a casualty.
Completely agree. I'm sorry you're one of the more vulnerable members of society... that sucks. Lemmy mods are letting us down here. Sure, this guy won't redirect millions of votes but this is (pathetically) a tight race. This is supposed to be a left leaning platform, but mods aren't acting like that is true.
