    You really don’t want to agree though. Voter suppression only hurts you, they’re either blatant russian trolls or completely clueless about just how much blood and effort their ancestors had to give to earn that vote in the first place.

        And this is exactly the kind of lack of perspective that guy is talking about. Imagine if there was no “lesser evil” and you lived in an authoritarian regime where those who love money and power continually rise to the top and take advantage of everybody else. There’s not even a chance in that system for peaceful reform, and that’s what don’t vote idiots don’t get because they’ve never been outside of a modern democracy and have very interesting history “study” habits (usually quoting things out of context and running away when someone tries to hold them to their shit).

      I meant agree with the other stuff that anarchists talk about, like mutual aid and other ways of “being the change”. I like voting.

      Do you think that Russia invests significant resources in using English speakers to troll in niche reddit clones?

      That honestly comes off as super conspiracy brained.

        Sounds like what the russians would say!

        Nah, there’s plenty of dipshits out there, hexbear can’t all be bots. Meant more on a general internet sense than specifically here.
