That happens every single election. How about, instead of attacking people who are rightfully unconvinced this system works, you attack the people actually doing the fascism.
You’re like a fuckin’ Russian bot, only helping to divide. Fuckin’ dumbass democrats, man. This is why you lose.

There are numerous ideological and philosophical frameworks that attempt to explain how fascism takes rise, so why do you just blame it on laziness?
Did Hitler come to power because of German industrialization, German embarrassment from WWI, the great depression, and other global economic hardships, or did Hitler come to power simply because Germans were lazy and didn't vote?
Our turn towards fascism was inevitable, and it can be explained better than with some nebulous concept of "laziness".
At the very minimum, start asking yourself why Americans are not enthusiastic about voting.

I understand all the hate against billionares and political elite, but what's up with hating russians, including civilians? Especially these days, when russian citizen equals to bloody war, poverty and censorship.
No, a lot of people hate on the Russian government. I will say that the comic should say Russia instead of Russians to clarify that, unless the author themself is incorrect/misled.
Russia is the one who has been supporting Trump through their bot network in various social medias. We're basically fighting an information war, and yet we basically won't acknowledge it so we lose.
i think its more towards putin. i dont have an issue with russians, i have an issue with putin

Is ok to be xenophobe against Russians now?
There are plenty of Russians who are wonderful persons.
It's like judging all Americans for what Trump is doing.
It's like judging all Americans for what Trump is doing.
In case you haven't noticed, that is what is happening
There are also plenty of Russians invading their neighbour, slaughtering thousands of innocent people.
Just like the complacent Americans sitting by watching their "leader" destroy the civility of the free world. The Russians are no better.
Being a bad or good person is not tied to nationality.
No it's tied to your actions and principles.
Exactly.
Being Russian is not an action, nor a principle. It just states the fact that you, as a person, has been born in a place called Russia.

It's called conscription. Russians have two choices: poverty or war. And the slaughter is way bigger in the russian lines.
There is a third one. Overthrow that damn imperial psychopath in their government.

Which foreigners are we gonna decide is the reason the US isn't a democracy to hide the fact the state is owned by the ruling class next? I vote for going back to the Japanese
I bet it's gonna be China, they've been setting that stage for years
My money’s on Iran but China is always in contention for this coveted distinction.
You even see people eating it up on Lemmy.
Since some people in this thread need to hear it: China is not your enemy
Until my fellow citizens have their basic needs met I will assume anyone not actively working towards that goal is my enemy. Rich people in China are gaming the system to consolidate wealth just like our billionaires are. That doesn't make them worse or better than us but in the context of my immediate concerns it makes them less relevant.

It shouldn't be Russians, but Putin
Edit: You know what, some Russians are good people. Not everyone in Russia is a bootlicker
Not saying every Russian is bad, and they're obviously victims of lies and propaganda... But still. Don't they overwhelmingly support the invasion of Ukraine? That's like if most Americans were fine with us violently murdering, raping, and torturing our bloody way through Canada (please let this not happen)...

Of course this is true but when youre in a conflict you dont have the luxury of making distictions.
This is like Americans reminding us 'not all Americans are like this'. Its like, yeah bro we know but your country is actively threatening ours, so tough.

This is not about money anymore
It's a nice thought, but unless toppling Tesla also somehow reverses destruction of the public education system, and also something about the complex systematic, and very much intentional, polarization of individuals through social media feeds then this won't stop Republicans or Russia in the end.
Also worth noting, Tesla’s stock price skyrocketed when it was made clear Elon would take over the government. It is now basically back to where it was before this.
I will get excited when it starts losing years worth of value.
Not with that attitude!
Think of it more as exercise. It takes a bit for people to get rolling. If we can take down tesla, then we learn we can do more. Revolution doesn't start at the finish line.
This exactly, and more people need to understand it. A one day boycott of Amazon doesn't do much to Amazon, especially since many people will simply defer spending to the next day. What it does do is give a simple goal for people to participate who haven't done this sort of thing before. Then you expand it to longer time periods and more targets.
The current Amazon boycott is 7 days and isn't over until the 14th, BTW.
