Uh… I think the 2-year long mass protests might’ve had something to do with it. Less sarcastically, trying to reduce the Serbian anti-authoritarian struggle to “going out and voting” is not just factually bullshit but also frankly insulting.
Nah the wannabe terrorists keep telling me that voting is “useless” and pointless and that we need to get violent (including you btw). Why can’t you just admit that you were blatantly wrong instead of being intentionally disingenuous? Both Hungary and Serbia have voted out fascists now.
Feeling a little called because you’re one of those folks who pushes for violence online but doesn’t even go to protests or vote?
You should go read a book called This Non Violent Stuff’ll Get You Killed.
It’s about exactly the use and pairing of non-violent and violent protest in the American Civil Rights movement. It doesn’t support the reflexive “just be peaceful and vote” nonsense you’re peddling, and trying to pretend is what happened in Belgrade.
You sure you’re talking to the right person? I’m arguing against “be peaceful and vote” and telling off the other person for implying that’s what happened in Belgrade.
Do check out that book though - the painting of MLK as willing to endorse non-violence at the cost of the movement is simply not correct. Non-violence was a strategy used in the mid-60s for a very specific reason, but liberals want to pretend it’s the only way for any action to be legitimate.
You clearly implied that the Serbians just went out and voted, not that they spent two years getting sent to hospitals and jails in order to even have an election to vote in. You chose to focus on literally the least consequential part of that series of events, thereby diminishing everything else in order to fit your agenda. It’s like saying “see, the New Deal came because people voted for FDR” and neglecting to even allude to the literal decades American workers spent bleeding and dying before something like that happened.
Exactly. These people have been holding the streets for literally years, being attacked by paramilitaries - so not your No Kings Parades. They didn’t just vote harder for Democrats who are pretty much to the right of even Vucic.

That’s not what Lemmy is calling for, and you know it, you liar. You just can’t admit that voting still works because you’ve been agitating for violence like every other leftist bot online keyboard warrior.
I mean, it seems your policy goals are just “get my team of blue genocide supporters in”, so maybe on that level, it works. Some of us want actual change though.
It’s always ‘just vote harder’ with these partisan assholes, who just kind of ignore the last 40 years of history since the Reagan Administration, and the geographical and political differences between the US and other countries.

Ah, yes, the famously violent example of MLK.
If Serbia just “voted out fascists,” then what were they doing for the past two years? Interpretive dancing?
Conclusion: This is completely unserious. Get a life.

Apologies, was meant for dreamkeeper.

You can both vote and protest.
Those aren’t mutually exclusive options.
If they protested, yet sat on their hands when asked to vote. We wouldn’t be seeing this headline.
Don’t move the goalposts the that’s not what you said.
???
You’re going to need to point this out to me.
You clearly implied that the Serbians just went out and voted, not that they spent two years getting sent to hospitals and jails in order to even have an election to vote in.

Which they did. That’s kinda how elections work.
No i didn’t. I mentioned online posturing, not real world action. the exact thing you’re doing now.
How do you suppose they vote someone out without voting?
And once again. I was calling out people who’ll sit of their arse and talk about what they Would do, not what they’re actually doing.
My agenda of saying that pointless posturing online without the basic action of voting is pointless?
Exactly. These people have been holding the streets for literally years, being attacked by paramilitaries - so not your No Kings Parades. They didn’t just vote harder for Democrats who are pretty much to the right of even Vucic.

It takes both
I wasn’t aware Lemmy had a political platform?
Fuck off, my little coward.
How’s that working for you?
I mean, it seems your policy goals are just “get my team of blue genocide supporters in”, so maybe on that level, it works. Some of us want actual change though.
let me guess youre a us citizen
Zasto kazes to?
