I believe if everyone who was against the current oligarchy started placing guillotine stickers everywhere, like you might for a favorite band, people would feel less isolated in their distaste for the current system.
And in an ideal world those who the guillotines are for might realize just how much they are in the minority.
When you encounter someone who is starting to get nasty and bad faith in a political discussion like this (“You don’t even know what you’re talking about”), remember to check their instance.
This particular user is from lemmy.ml, which tells you a lot if you’re familiar with lemmy.ml users; it’s incredibly rare that they’re not actively pushing some form of propaganda, 99% of the time being anti-West propaganda.
How was I being bad faith? I presented numerous arguments as to why what the other person was saying was completely nonsensical, and my annoyed tone changes nothing about that fact. Notice how they adressed none of them, and both of you just focus on your poor little hurt feelings because someone on the internet spoke to you in an unsanitized tone. It’s almost like you’re distracting from how wrong your positions are on purpose.
Yeah bad faith is the wrong word, more like “pendantic jerk.”
Honestly it’s the classic Vanguard Party shenanigans you’d expect from lemmy.ml people; why use soft power/diplomacy when you can crank things up to aggressive?
