Silver linings, not the obvious bad ones

Do you think people shouldn't be angry or annoyed at things, or call out behaviors and attitudes they things are wrong?

That's trying to make this seem like a small issue, when it's not. It's not about sports. The right has been using "men in women's sports" as an excuse to try to hurt people.

According to this schmuck there's nothing wrong with my behavior so I don't know why I should.

You're the one claiming I don't understand you so that's on you. I got your points, I just disagree with them.

Sure man, have your delusions. I'll be out here with the real artists while you play pretend. Have fun using a robot to cosplay as someone actually making something.

You sound like a Nazi trying to muddy the waters to keep people from calling out Nazis.

Sounds like you have issues expressing yourself then

If you're willing to write it off, then I'd say you're saying your position is equally dismissed. So cool, it's great to say we can ignore you and dismiss your edgelord take, something I fully intend to do.

Protection from what? They want this. Trump has been giving them exactly what they want, more money and power.

My comment was meant for a totally different post my bad

Fft, like you're an expert, you think artists use AI and you can't draw. Whatever bud go pretend you know what you're talking about I'm sure it'll impress someone who's gullible.

TLDR: So morality doesn't exist, killing is ok, the way we teach morality to people is too simple, only physical reality matters, and actually there is a morality it's kind of going along with a good nature balance and it's sorta nuanced? Gotta feel it in your gut ya know? Anyway I haven't researched any philosophy or study of ethics.

Kinda shitty to assume all Americans are responsible. There's a lot of people here who tried to keep this stuff from happening and fought against it, and still are. If it's not cool to paint the French with a broad brush it isn't cool to do that to everyone in the US.

Oh man that'll be rough, a lot of tech we have is because we have tech from the past. So it'll be kinda like a Dr Stone situation but without the obnoxious main character.

Ok so, cutting away at the chaff here, your answer was diplomacy.

That's a have waving, dismissive and ignorant take.

First of all, you'd have to have something you can negotiate with. Something the other side wants that they don't have. What, exactly, do the American people have that Trump doesn't have already? He's already got control over the American people, either through propaganda or force. If you're thinking that the one card we have is our labor, and also think the military can obliterate us from space, then you might want to look up how the military was used through like, all of labor history through the US. Or South America.

Second, diplomacy and negotiation with whom? The Trump? The guy who's known for not negotiating? Who goes back on every word? Negotiation comes from people trusting they are going to keep their word and Trump absolutely will not. And do you want a whole new human rights organization to throw on the pile that's already being ignored, or do you want to utilize a new one?

Third, negotiation has been tried. Democrats "negotiate", make concessions (which is an inevitable part of negotiating) and we get what? Just a slide to the right each time. You really want to negotiate with fascists?

Fourth, you'd also have to get everyone who's opposed to Trump and the Republicans to organize, agree to what the terms are, and send representatives. That alone is a Herculean effort. You can't get along with people on Lemmy, how are you going to get people to agree nationwide? Assuming you don't get assassinated in the attempt, what negotiating power do you even have of they even would deign to meet with you?

Fifth, the military does have it's weaknesses. A lot of soldiers do have problems with attacking us citizens in a full on war. Some would even defect. And the us military has a real hard time dealing with guerilla warfare, just look at Vietnam. Especially with supply chain issues because of the tariffs, and if there was a dismantling of the supplies and communications on the home front. So dismissing it out of hand as impossible is jumping the gun I think.

My point is that, while nonviolent revolution is a useful tool, I don't think it's the only tool that should be used, and we should keep other options open.

I think a lot of this hinges on what the one million humans are like. You said in another comment you were thinking of them to be mind blanked, but wasn't sure.

So do these people have their memories? Are they from our earth? Do I get to pick and choose who I can take there? Are they clones or the original?

This can really change what the answer would be and how someone would go about answering your question.

Edit: also what resources are available on new earth? Is it a copy of what we have now, or is it like a blank slate with nothing but nature?

My friend worked at Subway for a few years and after a while you try weird stuff just to see if it's good, and one of the best things is an oatmeal raisin cookie wrapped in pepper jack cheese.

Also sharp cheddar on apple pie is a Yankee tradition and really good.

Not to rag on your wife but New Yorkers have the worst opinions on pizza. If it's not made in New York in some corner pizza store they say it's the worst pizza in existence. They get mad that Chicago Pizza exists. I think if they knew Detroit Pizza existed they would explode.

I've had New York pizza. It's mid. It's fine. It's ok. It's not the best pizza in the universe guys. It's convenient because there's no place to sit anywhere and you can walk and eat it by the slice. I swear they have some sort of collective Stockholm syndrome about it.
