FAQ

Q: why not organize and stop treating the bus as a legitimate entity? why aren’t you working to stop the bus?

A: do both. cut the fuel line. break windows. put oatmeal in the gas tank. but maybe your efforts don’t succeed this election cycle. and if so don’t fucking throw away your vote if it can help your neighbors fucking survive. “harm reduction” is not a political strategy for action. it is a last minute, end of the line decision to save lives, after all other resources have been exhausted.

    yeah i guess you just assumed wrong and that there are positions out there with nuance you can’t guess from just a few sentences haha

    “game theory” is a real field of study of how individuals work together within a system, so i wouldn’t treat it like it’s a dog whistle which is kind of what looks like happened here

      I’ve seen a lot of vote-who-no-matter who using game theory the way you did, I think if you look for it you might start to notice it!

      I think probably everyone is more nuanced than we end up making ourselves seem online 😅
