What do you do with the mad that you feel
When you feel so mad you could bite?
When the whole wide world seems oh, so wrong…
And nothing you do seems very right?
What do you do? Do you punch a bag?
Do you pound some clay or some dough?
Do you round up friends for a game of tag?
Or see how fast you go?
It’s great to be able to stop
When you’ve planned a thing that’s wrong,
And be able to do something else instead
And think this song:
I can stop when I want to
Can stop when I wish
I can stop, stop, stop any time.
And what a good feeling to feel like this
And know that the feeling is really mine.
Know that there’s something deep inside
That helps us become what we can.
For a girl can be someday a woman
And a boy can be someday a man.

The Communist Party USA – like the bulk of the broad democratic, labor, peace, and people’s movements in the country – has prioritized the defeat of MAGA fascism and Republicans’ Project 2025 agenda as the primary task of its participation in the 2024 election

I get the knee jerk reaction to think any and all third parties exist solely to be a spoiler for Dems and thusly get Trump elected. But I wonder if the people down voting this noticed that the Communist Party USA isn’t pushing a candidate, and is instead saying people should vote for Kamala to defeat fascism.

The article linked just talks about various progressive goals and how said Party hopes to achieve them.

Their website even has a recent article talking about how all a progressive candidate can do in this presidential election is break up the vote and usher in fascism under Trump. And how instead pushing for a united front is the way to go.

Caring about these bench marks is how you find one to last another 12 years.

Quit Stalin, it’s time to be Putin Tankies in their place!

Tim stop! I already voted for you, I can’t vote any harder!!!

Do Jet Grind Radio next and I’ll steal the election for you!

You think he ever gets tired of being right all the time?

I fully believe the system we live in is broken, and is nowhere near “the best”. But the system does have many people who are indoctrinated, and many who benefit from it too greatly to make me believe we have sufficient time to derail it before some of the death implied in this meme comes.

But if you have a plan more tangible then telling people “wake up sheeple!”, then I’m ready to hear it. And if it’s actually convincing, then I’m ready to help.

But randomly telling people they have been indoctrinated, declaring it to be self evident, and then accusing them of being beyond help if they don’t see it, is nothing more than pointless moral masturbation. Maybe it makes you feel better, but it’s not helping nor convincing anyone.

Let me know what your plan is when you have it figured out. In the mean time, I’m going to go back to helping who I can.

“Alright boys, I want you to break into that warehouse and steal all the cheddar!”

“On it Boss!”

A few hours later

“What do you mean you stole 22 tonnes of cheese!? I meant the money you numbskulls!”

“But Boss, I can feel my skull just fine?”

“Aaarrrgggg!!!”

Sweet plan, where do we meet up for the “burn it to the ground” option?

And while we are planning, do you think you could consider voting for Kamala, you know, so more of our potential comrades aren’t locked up? Best to shore up our numbers right? Sic semper tyrannis!

I get that this is not the hill to die on in this meme, but the tracks should really be reversed.

This implies “doing nothing” will only sacrifice Palestine, while “pulling the lever” (i.e. voting) will sacrifice Palestine+all other at risk groups.

Otherwise, this really is a classic trolly dilemma. We can’t stop the train and someone is going to get killed.

ngl, feels like holding in the worst fart. Can’t wait to start complaining again!

Lemmy user TachyonTele SLAMS news outlets for their unwanted hyperbole!!!

Maybe where you went to school.

2.0 just means I’ve decided the bugs I’ve introduced since 1.0 are now “features”.

hmmm… wonder if there’s just a bunch of bloated software running behind the scenes? I don’t really know, but I have to assume it has enough power under the hood otherwise.

What phone you got? My busted ass OnePlus 7 still runs pretty quick, least fast enough that I never complain. Was thinking about replacing it with a Fairphone 5 when the time comes, which even feels fast enough to me despite the limited hardware in that.

For half a second there, I was like “yeah, so glad Lemmy is more rational than that site”.

Few comments later, folks be talking about “Ukranian Nazis”…

Big words for a small man on the internet. Do you have receipts from your actions? I’d love to see them.

Pot calling the kettle black a bit ain’t ya.

I hope you do walk the walk to go along with your big talk, but take responsibility for your words too. Statements like yours gives people a reason to feel “good enough” about “slightly less genocide”. And if we all keep repeating the mantra “slightly less genocide”, we can feel “good enough” all the way to complete genocide.

Then we can all wear a big frown so everyone knows how upset we are about it.

People Who Say It Cannot Be Done Should Not Interrupt Those Who Are Doing It

Of course you could always shove your head deeper in that hole if you like. Perhaps going “lalalalala” while doing so.

Pot calling the kettle black a bit aren’t ya?

And no, you didn’t commit a classical literal strawman, but then again neither was the argument you threw the same accusations at. More accurately, they were begging the question, with the assumed conclusion being we all agree genocide is bad and therefore should be stopped. And that if Kamala does not commit to stopping (or at least mitigating) the genocide before the election, she is very unlikely to do it after. A point you are constantly avoiding to maintain your false dichotomy that the only two options are full support for the genocide, or Trump in the Whitehouse.

And since you were misusing the strawman fallacy, I didn’t think you would be a stickler for its definition.

Regardless, it was just so unbelievably hypocritical of you to (incorrectly) accuse them of strawmanning your argument and in the same comment attempt to reduced the value of their argument to “supporting Trump” just to strengthen your unsupported conclusion. I just couldn’t resist pointing it out. Next time I’ll be sure to assume you can’t read between the lines and spell everything out for you.

Now, you are free to go back to shoving your head up your hole and going “lalalala” when ever anyone mentions the United State’s role in the ongoing genocide. Just remember to have a big frown on your face when it’s brought up so everyone knows it wasn’t your fault.

I wouldn’t call Kamala a radical, but I guess I could see why you think that.
