Is this all that exists then? Tragic.

Doubtful. But who knows. It’s a hypothetical that’s fundamentally unknowable.

A friend is getting married there next year. I'll have to keep an eye out so I can try them.

If you want to post another one tomorrow you are welcome to do so on !treehuggers@slrpnk.net. Maybe we can make this a thing!

Wow I’m impressed. I consider myself a bit of a nut expert but I have never heard of this one. You really know your stuff.

Or you used computer vision and know nothing.

I don’t know why you think this is naive. We might not be able to know or actualize the path the peace but that does not mean it isn’t there.

The present danger doesn’t say anything about what is the most effective way to resist or diffuse this danger. Do you think you have the strength of arms to defeat the US military? Now that I would call naive.

Then you are extremely naive about the horrors and harms a civil war would entail. We should all care.

I don’t agree that justice requires going through war, nor that war is even likely to lead to justice.

There is always a path towards peace. I admit it may be unclear to me in the present moment but I’ll be searching for it in the coming years.

We certainly don’t need to do anything to accelerate civil conflict, inevitable or not.

How do I subscribe?

Is that a thing in Spain? Sounds wonderful.

I guess I don’t understand what keeps the police from just escalating to a level of violence beyond what activists can defend against in Europe and other places where these actions are successful.

Since no one seems to be taking OP's question seriously, I'll take a stab at this. There are a variety of reasons.

Some people feel that voting is offering material support to a specific candidate or system, and they simply cannot bring themselves to do so given the horrors that that person or system is either supporting or failing to condemn.

Others may feel that strategically withholding their vote as a punishment may motivate democrats to take these types of issues more seriously in the future.

Or they may feel that their vote is more impactful in magnifying the voice and power of third parties who offer more meaningful solutions to end the killing, even if they won't win.

Others still may believe that Trump's incompetence will accelerate the end of America imperialism and lead to a better global political situation sometime in the future.

Finally, some people feel that voting won't matter at all and is a distraction from efforts to directly slow or stop the war machine.

I don't personally endorse any of these viewpoints, but some are relatively serious positions and others are not, in my opinion.
