Comment on Trans people in Kansas are being ordered to surrender their drivers licenses
Sneptaur@pawb.social 1 week agoI suggest you go outdoors, maybe visit your local library, talk to some people. Ride a bus once in a while. It’s good for ya.

If you practiced what you preach you wouldn’t be this patronizing, condescending and dismissive.
Enjoy those public services while you can, so long as voting is your praxis, and you remain proudly ignorant of what that entails, they will continue to be defunded and privatized.

I condescend idiots who act as though voting does nothing. We managed to elect a socialist mayor in Seattle. The margin was under 1000 votes. Fucking vote.
And stop assuming just because someone is pro-voting means they don’t participate in other effective forms of praxis. You have no idea what people are up to.

And what has that materially changed?
I know you’ll argue that it’s too early to expect anything, but mark my words that nothing will materially change. SPD’s budget will continue to increase with the deficit taken from public services, homelessness and sweeps will continue to escalate and expect nothing more than apologetics when ICE/BPD starts to escalate in the area.
Your hope and optimism is being weaponised against you.
Quite the change in position from “go touch grass”.
Am I wrong in stating that you view voting as a form of praxis?

You are wrong in that, yes. Voting is the most basic form of civil participation. It’s like paying your bus fare. Riding the bus is not praxis.
It’s a whole lot easier to organize when you’re able to pressure those in power, though. There is a meaningful difference in organizing conditions under leaders like Zohran Mamdani and even liberals like Joe Biden than it is under fascist regimes.
I’d rather have leaders who are afraid of getting voted out than leaders who want to crush all resistance, and you’re a fool for acting as though it doesn’t matter.
Please go outside.
