If there’s one silver lining to this insanity it’s that it does seem like there is widespread consensus in American society that we don’t want any more foreign wars or adventurism.

Not really. I mean they do discuss other topics but the ideology flows through everything there.

I don’t understand how you could possibly think this. Literally any discussion of China, even non-political that does not conform to the admins beliefs results in an immediate instance-wide ban. It is one of the most censored spaces on the internet and absolutely not safe for anarchist ideas.

I saw it being denounced as a psyop which I thought was funny, since I think it pretty clearly isn't one. But directing people to lemmy.ml is bad advice as most of us know.

There are plenty of examples where protest movements have forced the resignation of authoritarian leaders without major acts of violence. So this is not accurate.

Also, the most effective movements violent or nonviolent are large and diverse. So the main actions need to be building the movement first rather than direct confrontation—unless that confrontation is strategically designed to further grow the movement.

You don’t understand yet. The words are a cover for their real intentions which are to go after the enemies of Christianity under the guise of investigating hate crimes.

Absolutely. I also felt it was important to demonstrate to people that it is still safe to resist. A lot of people are already too scared to do anything even though the Trump administration hasn’t done a single thing to crack down on dissent yet.

I saw so many people afraid this was a trick, or the police were going to swoop in and arrest everyone. But guess what, we all went out there, it was a great time and nothing bad happened. Hopefully more people will show up for the next one. One protest won’t do much it’s true—but a sustained campaign can shift the conversation.

This isn’t about convincing ruling class, it’s about building momentum and rallying the people. They don’t have the power to stop all of us.

Is this true? I have not heard this and I’ve mentioned it myself a number of times.

Might be a better idea for a local project to start with?

Kind of like how some parts of our universe are so far away that they’re physically unreachable.

What do you mean by this?

That’s way too dangerous without a containment field.

Isn’t this just as illegal as the domestic spending freeze? Where is the lawsuit? Is it just that no one is paying attention or is this legally different somehow?

Just got access to my community garden plot! So many weeds… starting to chip away at it but of course it’s going to rain all weekend. I also need to plan what I’m going to grow this year.

I’ve also got tons of acorns sprouting that I need to get into pots asap.

Don’t resign you fucking cowards.

You heard it here first, folks. Pronouns are out, prenouns are in.

Edit: although this is not inclusive for our non-binary friends. Open to suggestions on that one.

It is possible depending on the technology used. I personally don’t think the earthquake issue is as big of a deal as people think it is. We’re talking quakes so small you don’t even feel them.

I don’t know if this would compound and lead to larger ones if there were more facilities. If so it could be a bigger concern.

The level of stupidity here is reaching levels I didn’t think possible. There may yet be hope for America.

OK fair enough. I think I get what you mean. China has more of an elaborate bureaucracy than the typical dictatorship. I’m not sure what word best describes this model.
