    Exactly what you said. Take the win.

    That faulty line of thinking (shitting on everything) is the same line of thinking that “lets imperfect get in the way of good.”

    “Oh, this action was late. Bad!”
    “Oh, this action only solves part of the problem. Stop trying! Bad!”
    “Oh, the rich will just use a loophole to get around this! Bad!”

    If repubs can convince critics that doing nothing is better than doing something, repubs win. A seemingly very effective exploitation of the narcissism of the online critic.

    The term useful idiot comes to mind.

      People scoff when you mention these sentiments have been proven to be pushed by foreign state agencies to create voter apathy too.

      Shit look how much people espouse ‘green washing’ on Lemmy then pretend like they’re the one true enlightened ones. Mean they’re stuck doomscrolling on an even less regulated platform than Facebook or Reddit pretending like converted efforts of state propaganda isn’t pushed here.

      Like guys, anarchist and communist viewpoints are just fine when you aren’t pushing parroted fascist rhetoric. Few people have issues with you being further left than American progressives. They’re the Lemmy equivalent of vegan jokes now lol.
