Late Stage Capitalism

What prevents you from voting and rioting at the same time?

There is absolutely no reason to not vote.

Community rule 3 made me LOL: no liberalism, because "liberalism is in direct conflict with the left." I don't understand the difference between lliberal, progressive and left enough to predict when any opinion I express here would be bannable. But based on the rest of the rules it seems like a hardcore echo chamber, so buh-bye.

I think the main difference is that American police will kill people. Correct me if I'm wrong, I don't know anything about French police but my impression of European police is that they have less guns and trained not to kill?

I'm not saying I'm right, it's just a hunch. Rioting in the USA could put you in prison, life crippling fines, maimed or death. In ratio we imprison the most people in the world and our prisons are notriously inhumane. If you don't go to prison then the fines and medical bills will cripple a person.

We have instances of protestors sitting on the ground in unison while getting pepper sprayed to the face or even burned with hot gas canisters. Even when our police use rubber bullets they aim for the face. I think the usa is more fascist than france and that makes it very difficult to fight back.

The only way I'd riot is if I was willing to endure our screwed up legal system. Rioters are usually labeled as violent antifa gang members and treated like enemies of the state.

If those same people were waving the red white and blue and threatening to pillage the capitol, that's cool.

Americans never needed to learn how to fight properly due to their innate ability to go "berserker mode".

Also, America when riot.

"This is the socialist, communist antisocial fuckwads destroying public property"

This kind of generalisation DIDN'T use to happen in Europe. But this time, the trumpism has spread.

France is smaller than Texas with 4x the population density.

So... why you think the USA can match that as a nation is beyond me.

Large US cities were just burned down to the ground a few years ago, I've been told. You'll get more riots soon enough, they're not rare in the USA

Unfortunately, pedophiles ("misopede") of the bourgeoisie are well defended in France too. Brigitte Macron, Polanski, Depardieu, ... It need big mobilization to trial to be made, and even more for the crime to be acknowledge. Their is still no trial for Epstein accomplices

For anyone else tired of this anti voting propaganda that helps the fascists (interesting how it always ticks up near elections), might want to consider one of these

Fuck you. I’m still voting.

If you aren't voting AND burning down government buildings you are leaving levers of power unpulled. Pull them all.

Make sure you give democrat politicians your assurance that you will vote for them no matter what their policies are, giving them literally no reason to appeal to you at all

🤣 🤣

Do both.

America is about to flip control of both houses of Congress. What is France getting for setting its historic buildings on fire?

There's no anti-pedophile or anti-Israel party in the USA, unfortunately.

Our voting options are limited to exclusively pro-Israel Epstein billionaire buddies. Remember, Israel is USA's 51st state, and has been since we created it after WWII.

Our government is 100% committed to maintaining this base of operations in the middle east. It's not just another country, it's our baby.

Regarding pedophilia, it sure would be nice to open those Epstein files, eh? Biden and Trump don't agree on much, but for some mysterious reason they both agree that Epstein is their little secret.

They should still vote. Not sure why that's off the table entirely.

i mean that kinda ignores what la, minnesota, new york, etc did earlier this year.. especially considering people were murdered by ice because of it.

BS we had riots with BLM. They are putting up mass surveillance because they know that it’s coming again. “A riot is the language of the unheard. And what is it America has failed to hear?” - MLK

Can we do both?

Or better, can we do either instead of posting on niche social media sites and think it's some form of effective revolutionary act?

November is the last chance to turn this ship around before its truly beyond fucked.

If the Republicans win, then we know its rigged and even the thinnest plausible deniability for CIVIL disobedience is gone.
