But the bus driver supports genocide. The whole bus is rotten. We should let the bus go off the cliff and then build a new bus. I'm sure enough of us will survive the crash to build a better bus afterwards. Many people will die but that's a sacrifice I'm willing to make.

But not from the genocides?

Appropriate emojis considering the message. Hoping they’re in place of a /s

"The five non-voters are the true anarchists who see the violence inherent in the system. Actually the two who voted against driving off the cliff are wrong for even supporting a system in which voters can choose to drive the bus off the cliff. They're actually worse than the three who voted to drive the bus off the cliff, because they tacitly approve of driving the bus off the cliff just by participating in the system which allows the bus to be driven off the cliff, while fooling themselves into feeling morally absolved of the decision to drive off the cliff! So the non-voters are the only virtuous ones in this situation"

(The /s should be clear, right?)

... are you new to the Fediverse? I encounter such arguments uttered unironically virtually every time I browse here - especially in election season.

You ever notice how the 'burn it down' people fall into two camps?

  1. not in the affected area: chicken-hawk types who advocate the sacrifice of others.
  2. in the affected area: I didn't know the leopards of societal collapse, starvation, and violence, would eat my face.

Type 2 also includes the "why's it taking so long? Look at all these people suffering through the collapse. We need to make it collapse faster so we get to the good part faster" people, without acknowledging that this is what collapse looks like: lots of suffering

[–] wonderingwanderer@sopuli.xyz 7 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

Yeah but you can just blame all that suffering on the people trying to hold the whole thing together, because obviously if you just let the whole thing collapse then the suffering will end abruptly and a magical utopia can finally descend from the heavens! /s

You joke, but the number of people I've seen posting along the lines of 'I don't this, I'm exempted!' Is extremely infuriating. The individualism bubble has them thinking it's a shield from reality.

[–] Rhaedas@fedia.io 7 points 3 hours ago

Who said there was a good part to get to? Turns out damaging the bus in any manner, whether by driving, inaction, or burning it on the road, is all bad. No one has mentioned hitting the brakes... oh wait, which one of you cut the lines?

Just a bunch of moralists sniffing their own farts.

How about nobody in this situation is virtuous.

Go vote for pedo blue and tell yourself how righteous and great you are compared to the other shitty option camps.

Before you bitch and moan at me for differing from groupthink: I will be voting for blue pedo this turn about but I’m not gonna be online in a fart smelling circle with a bunch of do nothing moralists about it.

Please get over yourselves, you vote for slavery that’s out of sight abroad and pedos who eat babies so you can play gta6, you aren’t righteous.
