I kinda like a few of the US sanctions

Yeah that was the only one I paused on. I’d even say when my country invaded Iraq we should have gotten sanctioned left and right.
- Tbh I'm pretty sure the US sanctions are why North Korea still has a dictatorship.

Would that it were that easy to matter as member of the "voting public".

Voting with our dollars is much more effective. Whenever possible, don't buy evil. Evil is the cheaper option because they really need your support, or else they're beached. This is a big reason for wage stagnation and a permanent underclass.
- Nah, you see, most people are morons who are fine with evil they don't directly see.
Imagine thinking that sitting on your ass commenting on lemmy is gonna make you matter.

Try going door to door convincing people or something or just stop fucking complaining all the time holy shit.

I love this site. I love the political landscape of it for the most part, but seeing all of this bullshit is starting to get to me bc I know people just like this. People that listen to rage against the machine and say death to all nations but have never done charity work in their life, nor tried to actually push the political agenda they believe in in a meaningful way (commenting online and consuming socialist media doesn't count, sowwy.)

Frankly, it's pitiful.
- I spend dozens and dozens of unpaid hours a month in my free time developing open source hardware and software and give the schematics away for free. That dedicated enough for you? You have no idea what goes on in the personal lives of each and every member of a forum, and you're painting us all with a broad brush right now.
  
  I encourage others to reply to this comment on what it is they contribute to their cause. Because I'd be interested to hear that. On the Internet, we're just words on a screen that are easily categorized onto groups of people. But people are individuals, everybody has a story.
- Try going door to door convincing people or something or just stop fucking complaining all the time holy shit.
  
  please don't. just don't.
  
  this works for so few things.
- I hope you can appreciate the irony here
- Try going door to door convincing people or something or just stop fucking complaining all the time holy shit.
  
  Are you the one guy who tries to walk up to corporate front desks with a resume and firm handshake, loudly asks for a job, only to realize how out of touch you are 3 after the receptionist tells you applications are all online now?

If you wanna be my lover

I remember liking Scary and Sporty best back then. Good to know my former self had good taste in spite of being a trash person.

And vote!

Im actively going to become your enemy
- Yeah, you should. Become the enemy of everyone!

Just gonna leave this here...

Also denounce sanctions against Russian oligarchs?

Why would we do that? Fuck all oligarchs
- The meme says to denounce US sanctions. I think this commenter was pointing out that would also mean opposing the sanctions currently on the Russian oligarchs.
How about a good old cup of "FUCK PUTIN"

Braindead comment
This shouldn't be in the negatives
- Yeah I'm wondering about that. Like nearly everyone would agree with BLM and war bad right? I get that you need defense with other imperialistic Countries around but war is still terrible. Maybe it's the Israeli occupation thats controversial, but if you look at history it's pretty clear that Israel is just stealing land bit by bit.
