Workers rights all over the board are fucked right now.

I'd love for Trump to somehow fix it, but I expect his unholy union with Theil and Elon to mean giving the later a blank check to ruin more workers rights since if he wins it will be because of their help.

I sometimes really wish Trump was the guy Democrats claimed he is, as if Trump told Americans to storm corporations for doing treason and trying to hold the country hostage, Boomers would actually immediately follow through instead of calling it communism allowing Trump to nationalize every corporation giving out H1b visas and shit like this.

Trump is an ineffective leader and a release valve. He maintains the status quo in all the right areas while not changing anything meaningful. He let his biggest supporters catch felonies and didn't pardon them. I do not believe in him and I will not vote for him. I wouldn't vote for him even if I believed it would be counted.

why would the deep state choose trump over an even more ineffectual politician like jeb though? the republican base was in no danger of rising up against the deep state going into 2016, the republicans would've gone on forever nominating RINOs like Jeb and Romney if given no other option which would've been far better for the deepstate status quo, so why would they then hand picked trump to be the nominee and have him call out the deepstate repeatedly bringing it to the front of people's minds?

In this theory trump would have to be in on it right? as well as Clinton and every other politician? but do we really believe for a moment that the power hungry witch Hillary would go along with being humiliated like that? Did trump have a part in his own assassination attempt then, did he approve it?

this just seems so doomerpilled to the point of insanity

dude the people freaking out that not voting = voting for kamala completely do not understand why i don't vote.

I do not believe the system exists. The electoral system of the United States is a collective hallucination. I do not believe that there a single direct correlation between the physical act of voting and the numbers that are tallied. Every single electronic vote is discarded without being written to memory, identical to how voting down a comment on YouTube triggers no network event and is just an illusion on your screen that makes you feel better. Every single paper ballot is burned.

I'm not exaggerating. It's not a joke. I do not believe that there is a single vote in the United States that is counted towards electing a candidate. Every single "My Vote Counted" sticker is a lie. There is no genuine connection between the ballot and the results of the election.

Instead, turnout is counted, and turnout represents approval of the status quo and the system. They do count these votes and do account for fraud when counting them. This is the vote that actually decides if policy meaningfully changes: the binary action of voting. In 2020, 66% of the US voted. This is 66% of the US population telling the Federal Government they support the continued existence of the Federal Government, and that they believe democracy works. I was a part of the third of the US that does not believe that. I do not believe in the US Federal Government and I believe the sooner it collapses, the better. So, I indicate this to the government by not voting.

Nominally, 77% of Russians voted in the elections this March. I do not think Putin won with a +84 advantage and nobody but a troll, a delusional idiot, or a state agent would say "yeah Russian democracy works as intended, resounding victory". Likewise, 75% of Cubans continued to vote for the Communist leaders, and yet, they are starving and on the verge of total failure.

The strongest argument for Null's position is how fucking hard everyone EVERYONE goes at you if you espouse it.

Nobody wants you to not vote, because legitimacy of the government comes from voting. If only 10% of the people voted, it would be a shitstorm.

This is the part I actually agree with.

I have denied the state my consent many times.

I detest “accelerationism” though. How do you then differentiate yourself from a tankie? Also, it’s easy for someone who doesn’t have a wife or kids to say “fuck it if it burns.”

Having dependents, like humanity requires, ups your stakes

American worker right's have seriously degraded in the last decade. If you are poor, they absolutely could pull something on you, and unless you are educated enough to catch it and have access to a lawyer you can afford or who will agree to hear you, you're screwed. Many of these people are so tired from overwork they would not even bother.

If Americans don't do something about the establishment trying to turn them into cattle deprived of rights very soon, US will be lost forever. They're doing everything in their power to ensure that the deck is stacked in their favor, diluting votes of the rightful citizens with imported 3rd world trash, shitting up people's brains through controlled media, abusing every lever they have to influence the outcome. If US elections somewhat work now, it won't be that way for much longer.
From my outsider perspective, US is on the precipice of becoming a genuine uniparty state. Democrats will continue to flip contested states by flooding them with illegals, until there's no such thing as swing state anymore and everything is dead blue.
They will be electing themselves, voting will become a mere formality. Within a decade or two, you'll be living in a completely different country.

If Trump wins, there's a chance to buy some time at least. Of course they'll do everything in their power to cripple his efforts, but president isn't exactly powerless. Although I don't really believe in his judgement or ability to choose right people for the job, it's still a chance.

"Moon, what moon?" I say to myself, not understanding context clues and putting together the Legend of Zelda references that have been made in the thread for the past fourteen hours. I check the top of the website.

The fucking laugh I just let out was so mirthful, you guys.

This makes no sense. If only 10% of people voted, the winner of the majority of that 10% would be happy to just take office and just do anything they would otherwise do if they had won by 79%. Non-participation alone wouldn’t trigger anything.

This sounds like an elaborate intellectualization of simple apathy.

Even if his reason for not voting at all is extreme, I think him not voting for Trump specifically, with this in mind, makes sense, because Trump threatened Section 230 directly and brought it to the attention of others who would follow through with dismantling Section 230. Trump at the end of the day is an old man who isn't educated enough about the Internet to be able to effectively protect free speech on it.

I really don't get the obsession with pardoning the J6 people. The whole thing was radioactive and suspect as fuck, including the policemen and people like Nick Fuentes telling those people to go into the Capitol but not going in himself. They went in unarmed and the police did nothing to stop it.

I don't trust anyone who was involved in that shit.

I'm a yuropoor so all I can do is sit here and enjoy the shitshow, but to celebrate this momentous occasion and to show support for my burger brethren I will get a Fairly Small Cinema Robert for dinner. With four diet cokes - wouldn't wanna get fat!

View attachment 6602952

I just wanna run this by someone who eats mcdicks more often: That's... 3 double cheeseburgers, 1 normal cheeseburger (or did that fat fuck just devour a patty before taking the pic because he couldn't help himself?), 20 pcs nuggets (total) and 2 large fries, right? Or is that actually 2x20 pcs nugs?
Click to expand...
The McMoviebob is 2 large fry, 2x20 piece nuggets, and 4 McDoubles. No sauces shown but typically you use ~1 sauce per 5 nugs and another 1-2 for each large fry.

It's about 5000 calories with diet cola. ~7500 with normal coke.

This is blatantly false lol. Legitimacy comes out of the barrel of a gun. If the people don't vote and yet do nothing against the government, then they acknowledge its legitimacy. Those in power aren't going to suddenly resign because of low turnout lol

So long as the workers are government workers, I'm hyped.
