FAQ

Q: why not organize and stop treating the bus as a legitimate entity? why aren’t you working to stop the bus?

A: do both. cut the fuel line. break windows. put oatmeal in the gas tank. but maybe your efforts don’t succeed this election cycle. and if so don’t fucking throw away your vote if it can help your neighbors fucking survive. “harm reduction” is not a political strategy for action. it is a last minute, end of the line decision to save lives, after all other resources have been exhausted.

Is 196 now a serious comment only community? Didn't notice can you show me where the new rule is stated?

Also since when are satire and trolling the same thing?

Its not like i m trying to derail an argument by saying democrats and reps are equally bad or something like that, I'm pointing out the false dilemma you make with a (in all all honesty kinda edgy) joke. That has nothing to do with trolling.

One could argue your butthurt response tells I have hit a nerve there.

Fight for a real democratic system now? Unionize? Abolish capitalism?

Lots of constructive things to say out there, doesn't mean you can't make a joke about your opressors

P.S: Also raising awareness about a problem (2-party system) is constructive even in a satirical way imho
