you’re already something
you just might not see it yet

great, now they’ll use the petition to train AI, too

Okay, I think I understand you, and we agree on the important stuff.

Yeah, that’s not trolling nor sealioning.

People didn’t find your joke to be funny or helpful, and your responses have been rather antagonistic.

I’ve offered thoughtful explanations of why I don’t find your post humorous, but harmful instead. I appreciate the evidence you’ve provided in response, but the labeling isn’t helpful.

Poke some fun at the oligarchs, and I’ll send more LOLs your way.

It is human to joke. Not everyone finds every joke to be funny.

Then convince people of that with reasoned arguments. Not by making fun of people.

Much more likely to build community that way. And without community, the violent resistance will not lead to long lasting success.

It seems the post is comparing violent resistance to nonviolent resistance (via voting). If resistance implies organization, then both plans imply organization, and then the point of this post is just to get people on board with the violence, dismissing nonviolent means of progress as being ineffective by saying those who want that path don’t even accomplish it.

Let’s please spend more time/posts on class solidarity and less time belittling those who don’t have the same exact ideology.

Derision doesn’t help our cause.

Your post puts the cart before the horse and sows division.

Your post is about the violence. MAS is about the community and solidarity.

I see very few calls for organization. This post surely doesn’t include one.

well thankfully violent resistance got Mamdani elected

edit:

Since my sarcasm may not fully convey my sentiment, here’s a bit more…

There are too many calls for violence compared to the calls for solidarity. Violently subverting the dominant paradigm won’t accomplish anything unless there’s solidarity to shape the outcome on the other side.

And for all these cries for violence, I just don’t see any news about violent resistance—and especially not about effective violent resistance.

Even the claim that violence has been the only thing to stop fascism is dubious. Fascism is still here. It was kept in check until we collectively stopped fighting it in the realm of public option, thinking the work was all done.

figure a rich guy like that wouldn’t need to resort to robbery

tough times all around

probably should have added a salt
that would probably mess up a bad robot

I feel ill linking here, but this one seems to be a good source and has genitalia:

This depiction of Greek hoplites arming and going into battle is from a 7th century vase found at Prince Chigi’s estate in Etruria in 1881.
