#cynicism

There's a country with an #election in 2026 where the opposition is #centrist, not #leftist Messing with the election, corrupt manipulation, by its authoritarian leader, figures in the election So what's the point of voting? Well the point is better, not perfection Btw: I'm not talking about the #USA I'm talking about #Hungary, where this is just announced: https://www.portfolio.hu/gazdasag/20260926/magyar-peter-bejelentette-2027-tol-jon-az-eddigi-terveknel-is-szigorubb-vagyonado-865408 So, for you Americans buried in #cynicism and #perfection, what are you learning? #Vote! #WealthTax

In the #USA important #midterms are coming up " #Trump is going to mess with the #election" "On a particular issue, both sides don't offer me anything" "The #Democrats are going to win, they don't need me" etc #Perfectionism and #cynicism, as well as #MAGA, is how we creep towards #fascism Another country earlier this year was facing similar/ worse prospects of meddling The people showed up And look at #Hungary now: https://www.pravda.com.ua/eng/news/2026/09/25/8055020/ We can kill Trump's agenda for 2 years: #Vote

Attention #fediverse / #mastodon We're entering #election season in the #USA. The #midterms That means something for you: You will see an increase in #trolls Messages along the lines of "Nothing ever changes, both sides the same, waah" #cynicism And "The candidate is unideal. Allow me to amplify and manufacture high holy outrage on the point" #perfectionism All of which is designed to suppress the #left #vote and help #MAGA You have been warned. Brace yourself https://www.rfi.fr/en/international-news/20260915-russian-disinformation-campaign-sets-sights-on-us-midterms

“Mass #propaganda discovered that its audience was ready at all times to believe the worst, no matter how absurd, and did not particularly object to being deceived because it held every statement to be a lie anyhow. The totalitarian mass leaders based their propaganda on the correct psychological assumption that, under such conditions, one could make people believe the most fantastic statements one day, and trust that if the next day they were given irrefutable proof of their falsehood, they would take refuge in #cynicism; instead of deserting the leaders who had lied to them, they would protest that they had known all along that the statement was a lie and would admire the leaders for their superior tactical cleverness.” ― Hannah Arendt, "The Origins of Totalitarianism" #quotes #mediaStudies #commOdon #truth #agnotology #history

#ICE kills another person This time in #Maine 😩😔 https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/biddeford-maine-ice-investigation-fatal-shooting-rcna587279 #SusanCollin's office is swarmed with #protesters chanting "vote her out" YES!

"He has the most who is most content with the least." - Diogenes of Sinope (aprox. 412 BC to 323 BC) Diogenes lived in Athens during the shift toward Hellenism. He rejected social conventions and material wealth, famously living in a ceramic jar to demonstrate true freedom through self-sufficiency.

@UnassumingKiwiReborn@kolektiva.social so what i argue for is taking over the #democraticParty from the #left the #Mamdani template this confuses people fake leftists, who do not argue for an ideologically #leftist position, but merely vibe mindless #cynicism and #toxicIdealism- not #voting therefore helping #MAGA, assume, because i ask for a #vote, that i am a corporatist shitlib meanwhile, shitlibs think i am one of their own because i say "vote", when i despise the #DNC #democrats do not lie about me

"#Hungary's opposition #Tisza party widens its lead ahead of #Orban's #Fidesz" 🤞 🤞 🤞 If Hungary goes sane in April, and then if enough of the lazy entitled lumps in the #USA show up to #vote in November (after showing up in the #primaries to get real left candidates: BE THERE), then we can put a real dent on our emergent #fascism Fuck your #cynicism VOTE Let's do this, "degenerate Westoids" 🤭
