Zak, Not certain that I am following you accurately, as it seems as if you are presenting us with the devil’s choice - choosing between one’s own survival or perishing for the sake of your unspecified “greater risk”. I’m not sure of your citizenry but as a woman living in the USA at this moment, amongst other significant factors, I am subject to the distinct threat of the overt forces of misogyny ( see the attempt to kidnap and Lynch the Gov. of Michican as a most recent example). Make no mistake these are not illusionistic threats. They are real, they are deliberate and they are growing …and their intent is to "bring the entire system down from within." > On Oct 7, 2020, at 2:29 AM, Zak McGregor <zak.mcgregor@gmail.com> wrote: > > On Tue, 6 Oct 2020 19:00:39 -0400 > Keith Sanborn <mrzero@panix.com> wrote: > >> We are talking about the death of even the semblance of bourgeois democracy.

For people outside the USA, Biden poses probably an even greater risk to their lives than Trump. The US left needs to realise that they a. can't effect meaningful change through the ballot, and b. need to bring the entire system down from within. > > -- > Zak McGregor <zak@mighty.co.za> > # distributed via <nettime>: no commercial use without permission > # <nettime> is a moderated mailing list for net criticism, > # collaborative text filtering and cultural politics of the nets > # more info: http://mx.kein.org/mailman/listinfo/nettime-l > # archive: http://www.nettime.org contact: nettime@kein.org > # @nettime_bot tweets mail w/ sender unless #ANON is in Subject: # distributed via <nettime>: no commercial use without permission # <nettime> is a moderated mailing list for net criticism, # collaborative text filtering and cultural politics of the nets # more info: http://mx.kein.org/mailman/listinfo/nettime-l # archive: http://www.nettime.org contact: nettime@kein.org # @nettime_bot tweets mail w/ sender unless #ANON is in Subject:
