What are some personally spiteful things you want to do against society because of how much you don't like it's direction?
What are some personally spiteful things you want to do against society because of how much you don't like it's direction?
For example, I sometimes do want to vote for Trump. Not because I like the man. Not because I find him as a credible leader, in fact, he's a murderer in my eyes by negligence because of his handling of the 2020 COVID Pandemic.
But I want to vote for him because of all of the collective amount of stupidity I see society spiraling into and almost at a stunning level of complacency. We complain more than we do. We nitpick and cherry pick anything from anyone that isn't warranted and make a big deal of it like someone's post on social media.
We continue feeding into the things we cry about being bad. Just so much fucking stupidity at competing levels that challenges the previous record.
And I want to vote for someone who is as destructive as Trump, as a means of just punishment because of this. It's like, society doesn't learn as much as it should, so fuck you, have another 4 years of this asshole and this next set will most likely be the kind where we'll see irreversible damage.
All because of society's obliviousness and idiocy.
What an insanely stupid reason to vote for someone.
What an insane stupid reply this is. Do you even read?
Did you even read?
Yes. That's how I know it's stupid.
Accelerationism is a weakness of those who don't have the courage to do what it takes to better society. Cowards who would rather destroy than try to create, because they have no creativity of their own and lash out in ignorance when people try to explain it to them.
Vote for who you want, but it's clear you don't give a fuck about anything in your thoughtless rant. But at least try to improve your local community. Maybe having a bit of human connection will break the childishness of thought and actions shown in this post.
Thanks to voters like you for Brexit then I guess.
Sure we're all stupid, but I'm putting my money and energy into what I want to make better, rather than worse. Sometimes that drive to do better comes from spite.
I vote and tell others to online here and in real life, I attend city council meetings for the stuff I care about (transit), I go out and meet the poor and suffering where they are and donate to my local food bank. When I boycot something I stick to it. When a platform turns too shitty I find ways to get away from it (Lemmy), or at least get it to arms length (Matrix/Beeper).
Issue is, there's only so many things that I can be not complacent about. The Gaza war is terrible and I talk about it often, yet it's just a situation I can't see a way I can convince the US to hold Israel to account no matter what I do. Rents, affordability, climate, there's stuff I care about but when I am back from my full time job there's just no more room to think about how the world is fucked 10 ways from Sunday, and my mental health is better for not focusing on things I can't fix.
So you go on to say that you want to make things better. But then go on later to say that you can't make a situation better in regarding the Gaza situation.
And then closing that when you work a full time job, it suddenly stops mattering. This is EXACTLY what I'm talking about with society, this pumping brake issue with people. See you talk all to the high heavens about issues but cave into defeatism after sounding so bold.
We need more doers than just thinkers and you aren't a doer.
Making angry posts on the internet and voting for Trump doesn’t actually make you a doer 🙏
To boil it down for you:
I can do a lot, but I can't do everything. I'm reserving what I can do to stuff where I can make the largest impact.
Imagine you're in a hotel where the bedsheets are a little too itchy for your liking. So you decide to protest these sheets by pissing all over them. And it's a foul pee, absolutely reeks and probably reflects an unchecked medical issue. That'll punish the hotel for the sin of uncomfortable sheets.
Except it's a 4 night stay, and you still need to sleep in that bed. And the shower isn't as effective as you might have hoped.
That's what voting for Trump to punish stupidity is like.
This is like the 7th or so boring reply that is focusing entirely on trump. You're more triggered by me mentioning Trump at all, that you forget there's a fucking question that was asked.
How do you fucking sleep?
You're not one for applicability, are you? That same metaphor can be used for voting for Brexit, or voting down healthcare, or any number of spiteful acts. Trying to ruin society is like shitting your own bed: no matter why you did it, you still have to live in it.
And to answer your question, pretty well. I literally went to bed straight after writing that. It had no shit in it.
The people most impacted by a Trump presidency are going to be minorities who largely didn’t vote for him, not the people you’re mad at. Drooling over collective punishment when presidential elections usually come within a few percentage points each election also isn’t a good look.
Maybe you should talk to someone about why you feel so vindictive towards people for not changing society in the way that you see fit.
I don't give a shit. I asked a question and gave my reasoning. It's idiots like you, that look too into shit like this and turn it all into a pointless debate. You're part of the problem in society so fuck you.
speaking of idiocy. you will have to live through the consequences.
I want to fart on the meringue of every lemon meringue pie.
Not because I hate them but because I want to destroy something beautiful.
Angry voting has never helped with anything. It would be like setting your house on fire because the neighbor's music is too loud for your taste.
Voting is not what you think it is. I encourage you on re-evaluating that.
I'd prefer to use my vote with stupid optimism that things may get better instead of 'punishing' society because people are, for the most part, dumb as fuck. I believe things can improve. I'm not going to let self destructive sentiment win out even in dark times.
No, I'm not antisocial.
wow, you are a terrible human being who would rather ve complicit in a genocide of LGBTQ people, than do something to.better the world and the environmebt around you. One thing I can say to you is go fuck yourself.
Unless you live in a swing state, who you vote for for President probably won't have much chance of affecting the outcome anyway.

That's Nevada, Arizona, Wisconsin, Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Georgia.
By the way, in case you idiots don't get it, the reason I'm not directly responding to you anymore is that I've long blocked you. I see your spiteful little downvotes, oh boo-hoo, don't care. Such a reddit thing to do. I see notifications but I clear them because I know you've got nothing useful to say anymore besides how much you've allowed Trump to live rent free in your head.
