Thank you for the explanation. I essentially agree with your position, but also fear most of the people upvoting this meme aren’t appreciating a distinction between choosing “no ethical action” and “inaction”. Things inside the US are slowly, but unquestionably moving in a better direction today than they have been the past century. It’s upsetting when people who claim to care for their fellow citizens advocate for surrendering the already extremely limited power they posses to turn the steering wheel.

But the sonic meme says voting is unethical

The way to tell MAGA propagandists from real lefitst activists is that propaganda will ignore primaries and local elections. General elections in America are for forming coalitions, not rejecting them.

Anyone making memes telling you not to form a coalition against MAGA is working to further the goals of MAGA.

I am not a right wing troll. You are a right-wing troll pretending to be a leftist.

Reply with “Deep!” if I’m correct about you being a Trump supporter.

You are not an antifascist. You want Trump to be elected.

You are a Trump supporter pretending to be a leftist on the internet.

You are only pretending to be left wing. You want Trump elected.

The comments here prove it’s no strawman.

all the big brains on wallstreetbets out there saying reddit didnt have any additional value to offer shareholders well THINK AGAIN

Meanwhile Apple does this every few years and nobody cares.

"I’m not defending rapists but there’s no reason women can’t educate themselves on how to make it so they’re less likely to be raped.

Yes what rapists are doing is bad. But the person being raped can’t be completely blameless."

Not the files themselves at least

Either she collided with herself or you are sensationalizing the facts to support your point that disabled people are second class citizens .

Well said. Most disabilities are not obvious if you’re just viewing someone for a minute or in this case, even less. Someone could be able to walk 1000 feet but need a wheelchair to travel a mile.

Also Christmas trees are not heavy? My great grandma could probably toss one if she needed to and she’s 97 and also couldn’t work pretty much any job.

she hurt herself

She didn’t. Read the article. Her car was hit from behind.

“The real harassment is when someone reported harassment in the community I moderate”

My heart breaks for what he has endured 😢

Imagine this guy at a strip club

“You expect a bribe simply to view your buttocks madam? You are in the wrong line of work if you require money to perform your duties. No, I don’t use Reddit it’s called Lemmy actually why do you ask?”

Oh I didn’t mean to imply it was unpleasant, just certainly not as attentive, you’ll have to ask for refills on water or spend spend a long time waiting. Though that said in Tokyo the service was on par with New York and they don’t have tipping culture either.

In Europe though, the waiters get healthcare and good wages so they have reason to be happy.
