So the right hand has taken part in all the atrocities. Glad you see that. Does the left hand provide an alternative? or is the offer an empty gesture?
We are more likely to comply when one of the oppressors acts sympathetic. Good Cop + Bad Cop
The left hand is preserving democracy so both-siders can decide to participate by running for office instead of just telling people they’re stupid for trying not to steer the country directly off a fucking cliff. The lesser of two evils work if it slows the descent into fascism, by refusing to participate you’re not only saying you don’t support the people who are running, but also that you don’t give a fuck about where the country could be going.
But of course your contribution is to support nobody and just watch the fucking wheel spinning in the wind while the whole fucking thing heads toward an iceberg. I don’t want either person to grab the wheel, so I’ll convince everyone else to stay away while I do nothing.
The country is designed to work, the apathy of the majority ensures it doesn’t. Pretend it’s your country and participate, preferably starting last fall.
Pick a topic and I will show you proof of the rights hand in at least one group of people suffering because of them.
