Sorry, but if you blame the people we need to help and work with, things will never get better. Blaming an electorally apathetic working class convinced that the system is corrupt is wasted energy. The rich capitalists standing in the way of popular left wing policies are why people didn't think they needed to vote. The system was too corrupt to think it was worth upholding, even if things are far worse now as a result.
I don't blame people for thinking electoralism didn't matter or didn't help, because the system gave them every reason to think that.
You're absolutely right, let's absolve fascist voters for voting for fascism. They were just ~~economically anxious~~ 'disillusioned'.
"Blaming people for voting for fascists is wasted energy"
Of course. People are never responsible for their own votes. The People(tm) are always ontologically good, unlike the closed caste of Capitalist Lizardmen Elites.
Oh, right, the rich capitalists vetoed the popular left wing policies that the people turned out to support in their parties.
What's that? No? This bullshit is a result of the votes of the electorate and not a shadow cabal of capitalist puppetmasters?
I'm so glad accelerationism is all the rage now.
Is this the same system that has seen massive changes in accordance with changing popular opinion in the past 30 years alone, including massive gains for LGBT rights?
Nah those people fucked us over. The fuckers who abstained, the fascist fuckers, the rich fuckers. They all are pieces of shit. Respectfully.
Did they fuck us over when they could've prevented this? Yes. Does being mad at them help? No.
Being mad at the rich is helpful, but being mad at voters and potential voters is less so. I guess I forget how hard it is for most people to let go of unnecessary blame. Sorry
Unnecessary? They either chose not to prevent people from being killed or chose to have them killed. Trying to cosy up to those people will get me killed. Rather ignorant take.
It's not about winning them over, it's about not wasting time. It's not about forgiveness, but directing anger into something productive. Nothing good can come from hating the voters, as action against them will only make them more loyal to the system that's fucking them over along with the rest of us. The rich want working class infighting as it saves them the trouble of crushing us themselves. We have our work cut out for us against the people with actual power, so we better not waste time on avenues that will bear no fruit.
