Political Memes

I see we are ramping up the anti voting memes up ahead of the American election, comrades.

Do both. Vote and rebel. Hit all fronts.

Yeah, it sucked when they had to invade to get Orban out of office....

You cant generally vote fascists out once they've sufficiently subverted or removed democratic processes, but they can be voted in especially if they're the ones motivated to actually do so, their efforts to subvert those processes take a variable amount of time to complete that sometimes means they're not totally done by the next election cycle, and even in the case of rigged/subverted elections, its not like they'll suddenly become more fascist if people vote against them but won't if people don't do that.

It's also not like voting, when possible, takes away a person's ability to also try anything else. So, unless you have good reason to believe that a given election is actively dangerous, like that they're only holding it to learn who would vote against them given the option or something like that, it makes sense to participate if the option exists.

Worst case, the election is meaningless and one wastes a small amount of time in trying it. Best case, you overestimated how much the process had already been subverted and the election system proves to be still functional. In neither case does casting a vote against someone that seems to be a fascist or similar make them more likely to succeed than if you'd simply stayed home.

If people voting against them did benefit fascists, they wouldn't spend so much effort on undermining elections and voter intimidation, it would be counterproductive.

I'm seeing a weird amount of anti-voting posts 2 months before an extremely consequential midterm that's very likely to shift the balance in Congress unless an incredible amount of voter suppression occurs (and oh look, lots of sketchy voter suppression is going on, plus it would be very inexpensive to spin up some social media campaigns to try to discourage voting)

Yup! just keep spreading anti-voting propaganda! THAT'LL DEFINITELY HELP

Why vote for better leaders when you can just doomscroll and pretend you're daddy's special lil anarchist boy that understands everything so fucking perfectly!

jog on, prick

Anarchist spreading shit to enable fascism and feel justified while everyone suffers.

Fuck off.

This is how tankies think socialism works.

Hitler was appointed by Hindenburg

As far as I know, he was voted in. So get the fuck out with this bullshit of yours

Hitler was voted into power.

So he would never have been elected with enough counter votes.

How is the colour of the skin a political view? Racists are pretty confused people it seems.

The voting is part of it yes?

Just a reminder that troll factories manipulate from both sides of the political spectrum: they try to play to disenfranchise effective opposition from the groups they know they won't convince while they promote support for their own candidates from the groups they know they have their support.

Just because Lemmy is not mainstream does not mean it isn't replete with special interests. In a way it makes it more vulnerable to certain types of it.

You're finished Adolph...

This Lemmy ad paid for republicans to support centrists so fewer people vote committee

Umm this isnt limited to white people. Don’t be racist.

Its worked for over 100 years though. It just doesn't work in all circumstances.
