Not sacrificing your children to Baal is throwing your vote away

[–] NauticalNoodle@lemmy.ml 20 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

If you choose to do anything but sacrifice your children to Moloch then you are by extension choosing to sacrifice your children Baal!

[–] dessalines@lemmy.ml 30 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Oh, you're seriously gonna pretend that moloch is better than baal is??? The hellfire demons eating civilians at random would be soo much worse if moloch were running things.

  • Voting third party (i don't care if jesus promised to end the hellfire demons, his party won't win, and is just a spoiler for the baal vote) - a vote for moloch.
  • Not prefacing a criticism of baal's administration (cmon, we all know he realistically can't stop the hellfire demons) without first saying you'll vote for him? Also a vote for moloch.
  • Not voting - a vote for moloch.
  • Going to the bathroom? Believe it or not, also a vote for moloch.

I'm more of a Mephisto guy myself, but it never hurts to run Baal.

[–] Ion@lemmy.myserv.one 6 points 1 month ago

Well, Mephisto is not on the ballot so that would just be throwing away your vote

I would - but what children?
All have already been sacrificed to "the economy and profits", we are waiting for people to be born to immediately sacrifice them bcs we are so much indebted to the great "the economy and profits".

All hail "the economy and profits", may it's economy enslave us, and it's profits get redistributed away from us.

For the last couple centuries, Moloch has largely been a metaphor for "the economy and profits".

Here's an example from 1927

I wonder when liberals will finally start organizing with Leftists outside the confines of Dem v Rep duopoly electoralism. Given that Reform is impossible, that leaves us with Revolution.

[–] ShinkanTrain@lemmy.ml 21 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Liberals will march with fascists before thinking about looking left

[–] Alsephina@lemmy.ml 12 points 1 month ago

Macron's already on that

Ranked choice has been gathering some traction.

[–] Cowbee@lemmy.ml 11 points 1 month ago (58 children)

Even on the minor, basest of chances it gains enough traction to make a tangible difference despite both parties working against it, how could a Socialist party make meaningful change without the other apparatus of the State like the military and legislative branches getting in the way?

Allende taught us what relying on electoralism will get you, even if you win.

Moloch is just like us. He will make the hard choices to reduce the sacrifice burden for the middle classes.

trump/harris campaign

(or trump-harris from now on?

[–] yogthos@lemmy.ml 14 points 1 month ago (1 children)

she did say she'd be open to a republican in her cabinet

I wish elections were based on memes

Like some sort of inside joke.

[–] zbyte64@awful.systems 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Which one is for bringing the genocide home?

[–] Cowbee@lemmy.ml 4 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Both. Moloch and Ball will not hesitate.
