Genuine question because you absolutelyalready took the time out of your day to clarify the intent with your parenthetical at the end there: is this an ego thing? Like what is it about tone indicators like “/s” that you hate so deeply that you feel the need to go out of your way to create a bespoke, alternate tone indicator which was 10x longer and 100x whiny-er? Where did these feelings come from? Clearly you understand that they’re needed, so why do you persist in this nonsense?

Lows is the same distance from home. What a The fuck are they thinking?

Yeah, seriously. They can fuck right off with that one. They don’t own the community. You get to be a part by contributing. It’s up to the community whether you’re let in or no. Log Cabin morons think they own us already

Most of the time it’s accompanied by “sins of the father” rhetoric where nothing changes but we’ll see I guess

Not true. The system suppresses third parties. It doesn’t stop them. Parties fall in the US just like everywhere else. When was the last time you spoke to a US whig? Or a Jeffersonian Republican? The system in place when those parties fell was exactly the system we have now. It just takes a massive popular effort and a period of severe political turmoil where the country is heavily divided along party lines and a large portion of the country feels entirely disenfranchised (ideally about a 1/3, 1/3, 1/3 split between the two parties and people fed up or greater). Happened at the revolution. Happened at the civil war. Happened at the great depression. Guess where we are now? Don’t let yourself fall for the lie that the party is eternal. We’re on the knive’s edge now. It’s time to push

Despite what the media wants us to think, both parties are wildly unpopular with their own voters and are primed for collapse. Literally all of the conditions historically needed for social revolution have been met
