    Chastising people because they voted one of the two viable options is self defeating bullshit. And drawing larger conclusions about them is wrong. Always get roped in the same tired argument on Lemmy

      “self defeating”: hey maybe don’t vote for people committing genocide

      Not “self defeating”: WE HAVE TO VOTE FOR DEMOCRATS ALWAYS AND FOREVER NO MATTER WHAT AND ALL THERE IS TO DO IS VOTE THERE IS NOTHING ELSE TO BE DONE A BETTER WORLD IS IMPOSSIBLE

      the meme is pointing out the willful ignorance induced blindspot that liberal smugness makes impossible to address – the same willful ignorance that makes this meme feel like it’s doing nothing more chastising.

      and these conversations are necessary since history has already proven that we keep doing the same thing over and over again and we keep getting the same results – yet americans chose to ignore history and have fooled themselves into believing that we can continue to keep doing the same thing anyways.

        We’re not having a conversation as much as you’re sharing your viewpoint that voters are to blame for their problems and I’m calling a meme dumb. One of us is having a conversation about memes in the memes community.

          One of us is having a conversation about memes in the memes community.

          and it’s not you because you’re incapable of understanding the point of the meme annd the rest of us who do understand it are trying to explain to to the rest of you who don’t understand it.

            You’re discussing your deeply held political beliefs, using this awful meme as a springboard. Making personal attacks in the process.

            I’m saying the meme is shit. And you won’t stand for it! Keep doing God’s work

              pointing out ignorance is not a personal attack and the meme broached the subject so it’s fair game to talk about it – the disconnect is that you’re incapable of understanding it because you don’t have the background understanding it requires.

              that doesn’t mean you’re stupid or dumb – i used to be a liberal so i can understand how i also wouldn’t have been able to understand it if i hadn’t put in the work at dispelling the indoctrination that all americans are born into.

                You’re not subtle in your disdain. Despite what you may think, or claim to think. Yes, you mean to demean me. It’s obvious by the way you set up strawmen

                  you’re projecting.

                  you’ve shared enough of what you believe in this entire post to make me recognize that i once believed the same thing you do, so i know that disdain will not help in any way.

                  “I was just telling you to vote for genociders, why are you so mean to me? 🥺🥺”
                  You know we can see your comments, right? We can see you didnt just write “I think this meme sucks” and we are responding to the things you write?
                  I know introspection can be scary, but give it a try. You wont like what you see, since you suck as a person, but the only way to improve is to acknowledge your many issues.
