  • Do you know any international politics or national policy? As in what the country, in hand with the complicity of the middle class, has done to both it's own citizens and the rest of the world? For the entirety of its 300 year history?

    No?

    Time to start learning perhaps. The people who do know are the people who will help you in crisis.

    There's less than nothing in it for me to change your mind about anything. You're on Lemmy and you've had a great deal of opportunity to do so on your own time.

  • I'm sorry you think you're living trans friends lend to whatever argument you're trying to make. According to the government they even exist anymore. The Republicans have been calling for blood openly for many years. It's going to get a lot worse than a downturn in the economy and it's not going to get bettter if people don't start to see the bigger picture.

  • I won't police my thoughts, opinions and language to appease liberals and centrists and I won't trust anyone who thinks that our struggle rests on that kind of approach. Unless they gutterally get it they are not my ally.

  • I'm glad you're losing money, it brings me joy to see the middle class finally freaking out, even if it's for reasons that are utterly selfish and blind to the real struggles minorities have been facing for decades. Maybe if you buy gold instead?

  • I mean, good. The country voted in a fascist on a policy of trans genocide and it takes a tanking economy for any kind of mass protests to take place. The government was killing my friends long before Trump was elected but that didn't effect your safe little bubble. If the violence has to be explicit, then so be it.

  • Right!? Trump very much ran on a platform of breaking down government institutions so the messaging is going to have to get a little more clear.

    Also people are already dying but as many of us know it's not going to be readily accessible information. Neither is the god damn revolution. Words of wisdom he kind of pissed on there.

    As a victim of actual child predators I'm over it being used as a political device too, especially when it's used to hurt and villanize my trans brothers and sisters

    The whole thing was deeply unnerving

  • It's fascinating how Lemmy users view internet consumption habits as a reflection of personal ethics. You can't always hold other people to the standards you've achieved. Using and navigating Lemmy takes effort insight that the majority just don't have. Being alive also takes effort and can be very painful. Sometimes people just need to be able to turn off and zone out. Try not to place value judgements on the ways that other people do that.

  • Yeah absolutely. Grassroots organising is good but so is being angsty on the internet. Like how a few people were talking about voting as a tool for harm prevention on an individual rather than systemic level before the election. Whatever works to make you feel less powerless is a good thing
