OF COURSE THIS IS A BIT ACCOUNT
Unless you’re wealthy, it doesn’t matter who you vote for. Your interests are not represented, and will not be represented. This isn’t accidental, this is the system working as intended (See: Federalist 10). The US constitution was created by wealthy white men to enshrine the minority power of wealthy white men as the law of the land.
The good news is that political activity is not just limited to voting! Voting in federal elections is mostly a waste of time, as the differences between candidates and major parties is largely just rhetorical. If you must vote, concentrate on local elections, where you might be able to fend off the interests of the powerful landlord and corporate lobbies. But, there’s much more you can do! It just requires you to put in effort personally. Political organizing largely can’t be done at a keyboard. You need to talk to and form relationships with your coworkers and neighbors. Organize a union at work, a tenants’ union among your neighbors, undertake the task of actually educating yourself politically, feed the unhoused and treat them like human beings. Engage in direct action against the power elite who are killing us and our planet.
Regardless of what task you set yourself to, it requires you to , , and engage with other human beings.
I’m much more concerned about the very real and confirmed ties (see:) Zoom, Microsoft, Apple, Amazon, Google, my ISP, my cell phone service provider, etc have to the security apparatus of the country I actually live in who have actual power and authority over me and a long history of murdering left wing activists.
I like to go all the way back to Pints of Guinness Make You Strong sometimes. The line
Always gets me
Might as well just ask what my Recap is:
Raytheon and Lockheed-Martin shareholders. BAE and Rheinmetall investors are probably doing well, too.
Fred Flinstone about to flip his shit
At least on Windows 10, they’re there. You just have to click around a bunch
Yes, hahaha, YES!
They laughed at my tinfoil hat. We’ll see who has the last laugh!
