    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.

    Good luck kiddo.

      So voting doesn’t create change, because if it did then you would have a choice in this.

      No politician believably platforms on lowering military spending.

      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.

        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.

        Best of luck.

          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.

            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.

                Yeah, what’s funnier than that is everyone in the comments disagreeing with you and your every comment to me is being downvoted. Take the hint, kid.

                You’re wrong here. There’s no shame in admitting it. Just walk away and try and be better.

                  literally the only one disagreeing with me in this thread is you. You very clearly have no clue regarding what you’re talking about, and just keep on yapping exposing yourself further as an utter flown with each comment. You just can’t help yourself. 😂

                    ROFL your comment history is almost -4000 downvotes kid. It seems to me that the entirety of lemmy disagrees with seemingly everything you say.

                    You should probably just post content and shut up about it. Because the moment you so much a breathe a word, people seem to hate it.

                    But that’s everyone’s problem, right? You can POSSIBLY be wrong about something.

                    You’re somewhat fascinating. I’m now wondering what psychological condition you suffer from. Please. Let’s continue this. I’ll bet I can figure it out.
