no. it has nothing to do with that.
it's this.
surprise surprise, it's a ml user telling everyone your votes don't matter and the only option left is to start killing people.
for reference, I own guns and know how to use/care for them. I think it's wise to purchase a firearm, no matter how small, to properly protect yourself in the event of the worst case scenario.
WE ARE NOT THERE YET.
democracy, though wounded, is still operating.
laws, though broken, are still enforcing.
I think this is what most people who live outside the US and even some of the agitators that live inside don't understand. Our government, and society, is still operating within expected parameters. until the government starts to pull a Stalin or begins killing entire towns/cities, fighting back with guns is not an option.
I'm an ml user, listen to me. I think you should vote, personally. I don't think it's enough for what needs to happen, but yeah, do it.
Now that you know my opinion, you may all proceed. ๐
So basically you can't handle the idea that there are people who don't think voting is going to make a difference? Even when i say to do it if you want to? I'm not telling people not to vote. I'm just saying my opinion on it. And then on the guns thing you say basically exactly what I said verbatim but then act like your version is the more reasonable and mine is somehow "violent" in a way yours isn't. Like what do you think "protecting yourself" in a worst case scenario would look like? It would look like a civil war. Do you have some fantasy that you'd somehow just be going it alone like rambo and wouldn't need to pick a side? What exactly do you take issue with in regards to guns that I was saying?
you can think it all you want, IDGAF. you didn't just think it though, you expressed it to the world by posting it. then you got butthurt that nobody agreed with you and attempted to make it about the guns.
you know back in 2016 I remember a large amount of "people" online expressing the same opinion. "your vote doesn't count because every candidate is shitty". same thing happened in 2020, and again in 2024. it's almost always by "people" who advocate for violent unrest. through multiple studies it was found that many of these "people" were actually foreign assets interfering with American democratic process.
now, looking at your handle, and the instance you call home it's not hard to draw conclusions, but I won't. then again, if it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck...
I'm butthurt? You seem a lot more upset about this than I am. I literally told you to do whatever you want, but you can't handle the fact I'm not gonna vote for your democrats lol. I wish I was a foreign asset. Then I wouldn't have to live in this shit hole of a country. But yes, everyone who disagrees with you is a bot. Good job. You figured it out. Bee-boop. Em-Dash. etc.
