I do wonder about the tone of this comment considering it’s your first in 4 months. Seems to me like it’s an attempt to infantilize demonstrations in support of the Palestinian people.

The Second Thought YouTube channel made a good video on this too, it doesn’t deep dive but it gives a good summary of why it’s bad.

Any chance you know of an archive of that link? I was enjoying it until it told me to sign in.

Of course not, everyone knows that every vote counts and that votes are the sole source of how elected officials get in power! I personally get the warm fuzzies every time I tick a box on the ballot and say, “fuck the man, I’m voting you out! Take this!”, and then the business backed/incumbent/dynastic candidate wins anyways. I got home and say to myself, well I didn’t vote for them so they’re not legit in my books, despite that making no material difference in their hold on power.

TL;DR every vote counts, ignore existing power structures and capital interests, nothing to see here! pulls curtain

Thanks for coming to my TED talk on life in a liberal democracy.

Do the names of the people you know rhyme with show me snark?
