And the fact that you have so little control over government spending should concern you a lot more than what a homeless person spends their money on. That’s precisely the point the of this post. Either people in the west live in democracies where the government passes policies in the interest of the majority or we have to accept that they live under oppressive regimes over which we have no control over.
If it is the latter then maybe people should start thinking about what is to be done instead of just shrugging and dismissing this as just a fact of life.
Aaah… the optimism of youth. Listen, you’re not going to do a damned thing about government spending. Period. Full stop.
Many generations before yours have tried, and it’s worse now than it ever has been. Wishful thinking doesn’t make changes any more than chastising those who tried and failed before you.
I have control over wether or not I give a homeless person money to by booze. I don’t have control over the government using my taxes to buy more weapons.
This is the fundamental reason why I and many others have told you how this meme is fucking stupid. You refuse to accept it.
So many losers have confidently chanted that nothing better is possible throughout history, and yet human progress continues despite you lot. People like you just hold society back because you can’t even imagine fighting for anything better. It’s servile and pathetic.
No one here said voting doesn’t create change. Don’t be so naive. The fact that you so easily create blanket arguments where there are none shows your ignorance in discussing these topics.
What IS being said is that your taxes WILL pay for the military. And you have NO choice in this.
No politician believably platforms on lowering military spending. It would be career suicide. They are all for it- every single one of them. But you go ahead and keep believing your vote will change militarily spending. And hold on to that shit as long as you can, because once you stick so much as a toe into the pool of reality, things go downhill very rapidly from there.
Stop with the blanket statements. Not everything is black and white. I’m surprised no one has told you this yet, but life happens in the grey area, otherwise known as the in-between area of extremist views like yours.
You vote changes SOME things. SOME. NOT ALL. You WILL NOT change government’s usage of your taxes to fund the military.
Again, because you can’t seem to grasp this simple concept:
One example doesn’t encompass the entirely of of a thing. Such as the old saying ”all thumbs are fingers….”
Because your vote POTENTIALLY changes SOME things, it does not by default change ALL things.
At this point, I cannot simplify it any better for you. You’re going to need to read a few books on the subject. I’d recommend you start with the definition of
“some,” and then move on to more complex things like the ideology of blanket statements and why you shouldn’t make them.
The only one making blanket statements here is you:
We can’t chose to NOT fund the military. The two can’t be compared.
That’s a blanket statement. Imagine not being able to grasp what a blanket statement is.
Because your vote POTENTIALLY changes SOME things, it does not by default change ALL things.
How did you decide on what things can be changed, what’s your methodology genius?
You’re going to need to read a few books on the subject.
Pretty sure I’ve read more books on the subject than you. Given your comments sounds like your reading comprehension is somewhere around grade school level.
Best of luck. Sounds like you need all the luck you can get with the mental abilities you’re showcasing here.

Good luck kiddo.
So voting doesn’t create change, because if it did then you would have a choice in this.
When none of the politicians represent what majority of people wants then your vote doesn’t really matter does it kiddo?
I love how you see yourself as being wise and enlightened, but you’re just a loser who thinks nothing better is possible. Good luck kiddo.

Maybe you should start with the definition of blanket statements. You CLEARLY don’t know what they are.
I would refrain from responding any further to avoid embarrassing yourself any more than you have.
your utter lack of self awareness is by far the most hilarious part of this thread
