A bunch of .ML'ers are having heart palpitations right now.

You can vote and still do other political activities.

If anything you should do every possible option, a war fought on many fronts is more likely to be won than lost

I feel like this is an ML jab at liberals

Nah all political power comes from moralizing on the Internet about how no one should vote. Or at least they shouldn't vote against fascism.

.ml isn’t collectively smart enough for that.

The True Leftists™ would never besmirch the memory of the Great Chairman like this.

Well yes of course, all the best people know that voting against fascism is fascist

Which is why I always vote for anyone but a democrat. That'll show em!!

ml rot

• hrrr murrica fascist we hate fascism

• no vote against fascism

Insert winnie pooh double retard or which button do i press meme at your own leasure.

Commerades keep posting, no one sees through your BS it is totally worth to post that rot.

Nah, it's a pretty popular meme in Marxist circles making fun of reformism. Here's an example:

The super obvious editing is part of the joke, it isn't a sincere belief in the edited statement but pointing out the absurdity of the statement in combination with the revolutionaries making them. With the recent wave of social democrats winning elections against establishment liberals, an ongoing struggle right now is in understanding the historically proven limitations of social democracy.

You're aware this a parody of ml, right?

It's literally not, it's a satire of ml

This is a meme made by Marxists, making fun of reformism. Here's another example:

The meme you posted has already been circulating around Marxist communities as a sarcastic jab against reformism, PotatoesFall is correct.

True and real

True and real

Why are people trying to bring back the R word? I don't fuckin get it

Yes, this is a bait for those fascists.

Cause they're cowards who won't survive the winter

Not according to "Get out the vote" bots

are you telling me you actually agree with the literal statement in the meme or did I just get lost in some layer of irony

I don't know a lot about Hasan, does he not believe in Revolution?

No, I'm saying it's a parody of folks who are like "VOTING AGAINST FASCISM IS FASCIST!"

He's a social democrat reformist that doesn't fearmonger about revolution.

stalinist reviosinists that never read lenin's work hate this one trick

I... I don't think wars work like that..

No no, surely Mao said all power comes from posting memes discouraging voting, then doing nothing else at all. This is why .ml users have so much power.

Fingers crossed!

Every time I see a pic of Mao I remember a scene from "Kate and Allie" where the boy had a cat called "Mousy Tongue".

I'm pretty sure this meme is literally mocking folks who say "voting against fascism is fascist!", aka .ml users

Ah, so was WWII fought on just one front?

And here's me thinking that it was a war fought in many fronts, and that was a large reason why it was won against insurmountable odds

Germany had been ramping up their military and triggered a war when many of the Alliance forces were in a time of relative stability and so had less military ready to go, alliance lost many of the early fights until they started fighting them on multiple fronts

Aw that's kinda cute

Elsewhere in the comments it's pretty heavily argued this is a meme against voting. Many ways to see it, I guess.

I love asking the .ml losers to name a single event in history that was made better by someone doing nothing.

Aside from their typical pseudo-intellectual ad hominem, this is almost always the end of the discussion.

Yes. Germany fought in multiple fronts and lost. Allied, as individual countries, fought mainly on a single front in WW1 and WW2, biggest exception being the US in WW2. And they came in late with an unmatched capacity.

I thought they always advocate for some vague (usually violent) action, which they will never actually take.

Not from my experience. They usually whine and pout about some dumb shit that only they think makes sense, then play victim to tEh liBZ.

Fair enough, that does sound like .ml users.

They banned me from their meme sub without discussion for calling out a historically very inaccurate meme. Such princesses these revolutionaries, I must say.

They ban people that don’t even post in their shithole. The admins are cowards that cannot handle people disagreeing won’t their bullshit.

Nobody is arguing for doing nothing, the argument is that political change comes from organizing and struggle outside the boundaries of the system, not through engaging within its legal limits.

Poe's Law I guess

Ah okay I see. I always read it as a parody of people who think voting is the only/main way to participate in politics.

It might be both tbh

Though I think it's been made in reaction to folks who are unironically going "they both suck, don't vote!"

I'd say .ml is reaching insufferable levels of annoying, but we passed that milestone a while ago. I'm not even sure what word to use to describe their tedious bullshit. We all knew that kid in school that every clique could agree was annoying as shit and everyone just wanted them to go away. That's where I'm at with them. Bug spray? Would that work? Rat traps?

Pseudo-intellectual is an apt description.

Yeah it's typically either them calling for others to do a violent revolution, calling for people to not vote because there's no point, or just generally insinuating that we should live in some vague form of anarchism that they can't seem to support when asked the obvious questions others have regarding that ideology. Or all three at the same time if you're talking to one of the more unhinged ones.

They LOVE trying to get people to think liberals are fascists. It's honestly one of the dumbest things I've seen someone attempt on or off the internet.

¿Por qué no los dos?

Why not still attempt to utilize the process of voting while also organizing for the shittier scenario when others, because it definitely ain't gonna be .ml pansies, have to do more than that to put the train back on the tracks?

Your response is also way more moderate than what most .ml trashcans are posting all over this platform.
