@jtb@toot.wales @phl@mastodon.social @EUCommission@ec.social-network.europa.eu more precisely, screaming perfectionist demands on social media, and calling it a day, and not showing up to vote some of this was fostered and initiated by right wing/ geopolitical trollfarm. because they understand the psyop effect halts real and effective change some people have the entitlement of shouting demands, and not actually doing anything to achieve what they want merely because it's slow and takes real work besides, all they really want is dopamine hits

@benroyce@mastodon.social @phl@mastodon.social @EUCommission@ec.social-network.europa.eu I always vote. And I am not screaming. If anyone is screaming, you are.

@benroyce@mastodon.social @jtb@toot.wales @EUCommission@ec.social-network.europa.eu That was the case with the Kamala Harris votes, which is largely irrelevant here — in particular that we're not currently in an (EU) election season in the first place, and because election psyop/influence happens at a much lower level, at e.g. Russian interference in the Romanian elections, or each country's far-right parties financed by them (directly or indirectly). We're in rather different situations and different culture (i.e. what triggers or deters people).
