i have some bad news for you. we've been doing that for 4 or 5 decades now. it isn't working.

the 60's was one of the biggest explosions of progressive ideas. it brought about a lot of change, but only after radicals started throwing monkey wrenches into the gears of society in the 70's. they've been saying "wait for the old guard to die off" since the 70's. they keep making new ones. we can't make any significant steps towards saving the planet as long as there's a voter base that keeps electing conservatives to office. bernie brought class struggles to the forefront. not much changed. abortion is a huge topic right now. we actually have gone backwards one that one. republicanns don't care if you laugh at them. they're making plans to exterminate you as we speak because they understand that we still live in a 'might-makes-right' world. when are the good guys gonna figure this one out?

you don't understand the game, what i'm really saying, or you're a russian bot.

where did i make an argument for joe biden? what the actual fuck do you think i'm saying? and do you really believe there will be no difference between a biden presidency and a trump presidency? you're a joke if so.

The Trolley Dilemma, with Conservatives (lemmy.world)
 

The conversation that seems so hard to have:

We are at a crossroads. One path leads to an eco-dystopia in which most of us become slaves to the 1%, vs. another path that leads to a futurist utopia in which we focus on solutions that benefit all of mankind and all the other lifeforms on the planet.

It seems like an easy choice except for that 43% of the american population that has been duped into fighting to make sure we end up in the dystopia because jesus and guns or whatever.

Is this not a simple trolley dilemma? When do we realize that we have to pull the switch? There's a way out of this that most of us don't seem to want to recognize. I've watched politics for over 30 years first person, and I don't see playing the simple democracy game getting us anywhere. I think we need to resort to more despicable measures. Does anyone agree?

thank you. this is the correct answer. if you hide from technology, it will find you eventually and you'll be completely unprepared for how to deal with it and it will be in the hands of the wrong people.

i'm an artist. i use AI artwork IN my art. i also use photoshop. i don't see a difference between the two things in the big picture.
