 There is a big difference between simping and voting

Like you do have to try to prevent communists from being elected

Like absolutely I'm gonna try to get Justin Trudeau out, but I'm under no delusions that the other guy is "a good one" and gonna fix everything. He's still gonna print money, steal, lie and murder foreigners 

The goal is still to bankrupt them with Bitcoin

But maybe I can slow down the gulag by just a bit 
 And it helps motivate you to focus on local elections which, here, can matter so so much more sometimes. 
 Bro, Poilievre is the man! Didn't you see him eating that apple, while DUNKING on the media?  
 Zoomg he asked what ppl? What a guy, let me make my whole identity about him 
 You can't be sure that the other person won't make it worse, but yeah i can feel u 
 Do you already think about speed up the gulag. Like, the roman empire still take centuries do colapse. The mass people need to feel a piece of communism to stay on real world. I dont know the future, but I really can choose by speed up or slow down. 
 sir, this is nostr

there's not that much simping for politicians going on lmao 
 There you go being reasonable again. You’re supposed to just say “Bitcoin fixes this” and then “something something cypherpunk” 
 I just hate Justin Trudeau like A LOT https://i.nostr.build/EDQr0bwcnm4l73kF.gif 
 I’m with you there 🤣 
 Totally agree with this. The “I don’t vote because I don’t want to empower their system” argument rings hallow. The benefit of voting is somewhere just north of zero but the cost of voting actually is zero so on balance it’s still a worthwhile activity.
