This is illustrated by getting elected on a platform of erasing student loan debt and then pretending that you can't do anything about it, or claiming to be against genocide and drawing out or never performing the process of pulling financial and political support for an ally who's committing genocide.

Reads post and your comment. Checks what community I am viewing.

Well, it was fun while the fediverse was not just a cesspit of US politics

Huh. I thought that'd be about that "Lay Flat" movement among certain teens in China. Guess not.

Well, that turned political quickly. I just use it to get out of housework

Also a valid example, I'm just of the mindset that everything is inherently political at its core.

Other valid examples: Persistent bureaucratic inefficiency, corporate selective inefficiency ("boy we were really fast at polluting that town in Ohio but it's going to take us ages to clean it up. The EPA is to blame!"), and of course race and gender common examples explicitly mentioned in the article ("but cleaning is 'women's work'"; "what do you mean black people have it tough in a white-majority society founded by wealthy white agrarian slaveholders?")

Explaining to mother that yes, I actually should be angry at my brother for voting against my childrens and his own childrens rights because there are real consequences to this has shown me that one of the real big problems right now is nice, sensible people deciding to live in it-cant-happen-to-me-land

You have a right to defend yourself against housework!

3 week old account. Super obvious propagandist with a single agenda. Hard right winger cosplaying communist to attack the left from further "left". Divide and conquer. Expect russian misinfo/disinfo to increase as the election draws close.

Yeah...

After reading the title I thought of that person in seemingly every office'workplace who fucks shit up on purpose so it gets assigned to someone else.
