      Yeah, it always has been. We know. The legal framework of corporations and their ability to donate to campaigns is just not the actual problem here.

          Nihilism is when you think nothing has any meaning, not when you critique someone’s theory of action as delusional

            Criticism requires substance. One can be nihilistic without it being your central world view.

            You have nothing to lose writing your state level contact. You’ve already wasted significantly more time espousing defeatist propaganda.

              You have no idea what I have or have not done. How many letter writing campaigns I have participated, how many representatives I have contacted about what topics. Moralizing will get you nowhere with me.

              The reality remains that legal restraints on corporate funding of candidates is deck chairs on the Titanic and no appeals to the importance of Feng Shui on the psychology of the passenger is going to move that iceberg.

          I’m subscribed to these communities because I do pay attention to politics. I read what you wrote the first time. Lemmy is small enough that I get to see everything each day, same as you. Repeating your message as often as you do blunts it to the same emotional effect as a mattress commercial.

          Why are you trying to personally attack me? What did I do to you, except encourage you to follow the rules on lemmy.world?

              You’re full of personal attacks. You came right out of the gate with a “fuck you”, then you think I’m a main character. Man, I hope you find some peace, cause you don’t have any lately.

              Really though, spamming is against the rules. You should stop if you want to continue participating on this instance.

                yea cuz you’re being annoying and contributing nothing. Also hypocritical by choosing to engage me after complaining that I was spamming. I’m going to block you now.

                  I’m not going to block you, because you may say good things in the future. I only hope you do it once for each thing, and without this vitriol.

                  Be nice to people. We’re humans.

                    you got annoyed, so maybe let the kids play in the sun if they want to post 8 times? You’re not the lemmy police, be nice to people
