I'm seeing a lot of criticism and no actionable advice whatsoever, from anybody who has responded to me. Maybe your contribution should be to educate people instead of telling them their actions aren't good enough? Either do that or shut up, because you're not contributing to the conversation.

Yeah, because voting and refusing to support republican business is "apathy". Good luck convincing anyone other than your own echo chamber to do more than that.

Shit, I did more than a third of Americans that didn't even vote. Suck it. Better yet, I didn't vote to actively destroy my nation like the Republicans did.

Good luck convincing any of those two-thirds to join your side by pedaling life-destroying rhetoric.

Please do whatever you want. I'll continue to work my own methods.

Stop trying to be so edgy, asshole. I didn't ask for this, and basically nobody else on Lemmy did either simply based on user demographics. Even younger-middle-aged people have only been eligible to vote in a handful of presidential elections, and we're fighting decades of gerrymandering, bribery, greed, and billions of dollars in corporate money propaganda campaigns. Basically all there is for me to do is vote at the polls and put my money where my mouth is, which I'm already doing. I'm not going to go out and riot and be sent to jail so I can lose everything because Walmart thought Trump would yield another half a percent to their stock prices.

When something comes up that I can do, I'll join in, but I'm not going to have randos berate me for BS I never asked for.

"Canada is holding the egg cards! You've never once thanked Canada for our eggs!"

Walked into the store to buy a drink just now. Realized today was the boycott as I walked up to the counter to check out, so I simply put it back and left. I didn't even need it anyways

Then I guess you could just sit back and see what happens lol

If this were the 1930s, Musk would be blaming Poland for not submitting to the Nazis in the same way.

What we need right now is for people to do anything at all, like this guy. I want to see you get arrested for what you believe in

Yeah, Costco is great. One of the few places I don't feel bad shopping at here in a red state.

Honestly, I don't want to buy anything at all anymore because I don't know which of the lot voted for Trump

I believe most people who voted for Trump were in a Russian disinformation bubble.

I don't have kids, but I'm always hearing from my coworkers in Texas about how their kids are bringing colds home, and how the schools get so bad that they have to close the schools down and go remote for a bit. If only there was some miracle of modern science that would help prevent this? Lol

Honestly, I wouldn't be surprised if we see a rush toward re-nuclearization after these last couple years.

What are the odds Ukraine would be invaded by Russia if they had nukes?

Would Trump be joking about making Canada a 51st state if they had nukes?

Trump and the rest of the American government is showing NATO and every other country that we're one election away from abandoning our promises to our allies. Nobody can be trusted.

Any country would be a fool to consider giving up their nukes after seeing the shitshow.

Please do it. The most impacted will be the business owners, companies, and country folk that grind through cars the quickest. I have to drive, but I'm set up to go a very long time before I need a "new" car.

Uh, look at how quickly the EU began giving Russia the finger after decades of energy dependence. The US is mighty, but everybody and everything is replaceable in 2025

They fought for the freedom to let their children die of measles. And I guess they got it?

Right? Reap what you sow lol

Agreed. If I ever tried "accessing" government data like that, I'd be in jail. So should he

You have no idea what you're talking about. 500k in assets is like a decent house that you're still making payments on, a couple cars, and some 401k savings. People like that are not the problem. That lifestyle should be the base level for every single American, imo.
