@katrinakatrinka
so fucking #vote

and stop playing #psyop games to suppress the #left vote because "everything sucks and then you die, waah"

that's not an ideological position, that's a psychological manipulation

weak mindless #cynicism doesn't change a single thing you say you care about, and only helps make things worse by closeting people in helplessness and weakness: surrender

no

you fight

or you shut the fuck up

@mastodonmigration

"Everything important still matters"

on the contrary, the point of a manipulation is its effect

if the effect is to get a #GOP win, the method is employed

so we can play perfectionist games about #Platner, which can easily be deployed as a #psyop because so many people are clueless perfectionists

then we can disengage and not vote and let the GOP win... people that make Platner's sins look like amateur hour

that's the point of the contrived controversy

@n1xnx @Scrimshaw9 @eschaton @katrinakatrinka

all those not voting and whining it's the right choice are victims or mongers of a #perfectionism and #cynicism #psyop

expressing no real #leftist ideological position, merely manifesting psychological issues

as an aspect of their genuine sad existence

or as an aspect of being a #rightWing #troll cosplaying #left to suppress the left #vote

what matters is effective #harmReduction

perfection is for losers

literally

@mastodonmigration

you know what also causes low turn #vote out?

"everything sucks and then you die, waah" #psyop from fake #leftists

serving #Israel's #genocide by helping the #GOP win

it may seem unfair of me to accuse you of this

but imagine if you did this hard working effort to justify helplessness and pessimism, and you didn't even realize the only effect of your mindless #cynicism bullshit

that would be the more insulting accusation

@katrinakatrinka @TagYourToe
but reality does change when we see and denounce the simple #psyop games to kill the #left

it's not "complexity" it's simple human weakness: #cynicism and #perfectionism

play psychological games on that, and you can change #elections, and reward #MAGA and #Likud

we see you

@mastodonmigration

#Platner has consistently campaigned on a platform of halting #US military funding to #Israel

now you understand the real purpose behind goosing #perfectionism on the #left to suppress #leftist turnout in the #vote

it is artificially manufactured noise for a #psyop

show me someone upset at Platner's sins, moved to not vote, resulting in a GOP win and all the green lights for Israel to #genocide more, and i'll show you an easily manipulated patsy

@connynasch

people need to show the fuck up and #vote is how

people need to understand that any argument not to vote is not an ideological position

all such arguments boil down to psychological weakness or personality disorder, or a purposeful #troll #psyop to amplify that feeling in you

and yes the #democrats suck, so you show up in the #primaries and you get 50x #Mamdani

people search for what they can do

there's lots to do

this is the basic thing

#Tennessee removes its #black #US House district in #Memphis

#MAGA goons celebrate

"It's rigged why vote"

On the contrary people not #voting got us here as much as MAGA

Getting out of this means many things. But voting is a small effort compared to the other efforts so voices against voting are inauthentic or #troll #psyop

#Hungary had as bad or worse manipulations against #democracy, and look what Hungarians delivered

Are you angry? Do you want to fix this?

#Vote

"‘No one has done this in the wild’: study observes #AI replicate itself"

I find this article to be sensationalistic, but I agree there is a reckoning coming

People conjure dramatic scenarios like the movies, but I feel if AI does fuck us up, it will be according to the most boring and mundane of ways

My particular terror is turning all of #socialMedia into a wasteland of exquisite mechanized #psyop for #politics

Until such time, unplugging the damn things can work

@roblosricos @democratsabroad

when you #vote, you pick better or worse. if you show up consistently and sustain, you can build on that the next round until eventually you iterate to good

and it gets easier

when you don't vote, often because of #troll #psyop preying on #cynicism, you reward worse. if you continue to not vote, the next round it gets even worse, until you eventually iterate to outright #fascism

and it gets hard

that's it

that's the entirety of #voting in a nutshell

yup, the #USA is going the way of #Russia as well

IF WE DON'T FUCKING #VOTE

VOTE YOU FUCKING ASSHOLES

especially in the #primaries

get some real #left #candidates

if you don't vote, shut the fuck up about our problems, you've abdicated your right to speak, since your true voice, your vote, you decided isn't perfect enough

nobody rational thinks that way

accounts shitting on the vote are either a #rightWing #psyop cosplaying left to suppress the left vote, or just a fucking idiot

@CatDragon @mistergibson

mason i got nothing but love for you

because that's my only message here:

#VOTE

consider joining me in shouting down the inevitable "but i don't get perfect, waah. everything sucks and then you die, waah. so i won't vote, waah" coming up with the #midterms

it's coming

some of it will be sincere but clueless fuckwits

some of it will be #MAGA, geopolitical #trollfarm, and giggling #edgelord #psyop, cosplaying left to work over such fuckwits

@Eetschrijver

exactly

#prematureCapitulation

the point of " #trump will cheat so what's the point of voting" is not to be insightful

it's to work you over with mindless #cynicism so that #MAGA wins the midterms because enough heeded that cowardice

that's on YOU if you fall for that scam

the voices you hear saying that?

they're outright #troll #psyop from the right

laughing because it's so easy to immobilize you

or spineless turds falling for easy lies, not real leftists

#vote

"Imagine. To peer across the world and know the enemy's secrets. To place our thoughts into the minds of your leaders. Make your teachers teach the true version of history, your soldiers attack on our command. We'll be everywhere at once, more powerful than a whisper, invading your dreams, thinking your thoughts for you while you sleep. We will change you… all of you, from the inside. We will turn you into us. And the best part? You won't even know it's happening"

#psyop

and for those who might be confused, voting is a valid vocabulary of #resistance

even if you've given up on voting, from a strictly tactical/ strategic point of view, using a vote to sabotage/ vandalize the enemy's agenda works

also:

those voices providing learned helplessness narratives to not vote are agent provocateurs

not voting is what the fascist plutocrat bigot enemy wants from you

so "don't vote" voices are the enemy, cosplaying as on your side. a #psyop

#vote!

I don't care about the band "Geese"

They achieved fame and money with an #algorithm manipulating "narrative" campaign via fake accounts

This is what I care about:

That seemingly authentic sincere account whining about how voting sucks, "BoTh SiDeS tHe SaMe", nothing ever gets better...

Think

If so much effort goes into promoting an indie band, how much effort goes into convincing you not to #vote?

"The Fanfare Around the Band Geese Actually Was a #Psyop"
