@Dasus@lemmy.world Man, if Boeing had only sung or used nonviolent resistance, I'll bet these whistleblowers would have backed down as witnesses.

Also, tankman is dead. He got ran over by a tank. He really showed them.

You still can’t even define “the baddies”

I could go on...

But whatever. You refuse to acknowledge that the death of any of those guys would be a win for humanity? I guarantee you we would see more results with swift action in that direction than useless protests and -checks notes- singing.

The simplest solution is to remove a couple of conservative justices. Anybody could do it.

"What non-violent resistance movements of Jews were there in Europe?"

There was no resistance. everybody saw it coming and did nothing until it was too late.

"The battle for humanity’s future is fought with words, not bullets."

The history books tell a very different story. Again, naive.

"Lovely irony in you trying to call someone else naive, as all you’re capable of is cheap “we should beat up the baddies” BS, which achieves less than nothing, being in itself harmful to the discourse."

I promise you if the baddies fear for their life, they're going to be very hesitant to roll over the people. If the last time X baddie attempted some sociopathic cruelty, they ended up picking up their teeth afterwards, they will think twice about doing it again.

"I’m actually in the military reserves. I’m trained and ready to defend my country, with weapons, if necessary. Can you say the same?"

I'm armed and trained as well buddy.

"It would be somewhat naive to call someone a “limp-wristed do-nothing”

If it walks like a duck...

"some poorly defined “them”

I have a list.

Again, you're ignoring the last 4000 years of civilization if you think violence is an ineffective tool for change.

violence was never a viable option because organizing it has been impossible for the common man. we now have the tools to coordinate globally and discreetly.

All this completely ignores corporate greed ruining the planet. You're talking about social issues. These are just the carrots that they (the owners) dangle in front of you to appease you every so many years. This is not a path towards utopia (which is currently completely feasible). This is just social progress.

You think they're ever going to just allow themselves to be dethroned?

I'm 50. I've been watching this shit show closely since 9/11. Let me tell you, this is all just progress theater. Protests on campus? lol. They don't care. They'll just use it to justify more authoritarianism. They'll let you show your activism on social media until you get bored of it, finally cave in and become another cog in the machine.

None of you are any different from the hippies in the 60's. They will infantilize you in the media (they already are) and move on. Slow progress is just the status quo now. None of it will stop the next near extinction event that is coming.

okay. tell me how you realistically think we're going to avoid the coming dystopia then. show me a practical path that creates change for the better in time to stop our destructive path.

nonviolent resistance worked in the 20th century because there were still plenty of people who cared or at least pretended to care. the 21st century is basically sociopaths, dissociative personality types, and pacifists. there's no good people left with a spine and you're about to see what that world breeds. it may already be too late.

Insanity is doing nothing while you watch sociopaths ruin the world for all living creatures for the foreseeable future.

pls pls pls

amen

we can do anything we set our minds to. we have the technology to allow one half of america to coordinate something that the other half has no clue about.

i honestly want to know how we can make it to the end of this century with half of the population perpetuating a culture of cruelty. how long will you deprive future generations of the utopia that we could be enjoying NOW if only the obstacles to that path were removed? how many innocent creatures will suffer and die before we do something?

sorry kid. you can't hide form the world forever. we need those who are most disgusted to be the ones that break the cycle.

you have to look. it's important. know what we are capable of and be prepared to fight it. most of you are good people. don't be victims.

yeah, my android did better at predictive text than my iphone does. it refuses to recognize even the simplest proper nouns on many occasions.

You’re hardly the first person to think that the end result is always the same

or you can hope it doesn't happen until it does and then you're standing there with your pants down. the entire future of every living thing on this planet may come down to whether we have the balls to do the right thing or not. the path to utopia may not be pretty, but when hell on earth is a possibility, you kinda don't have a choice.

oh, you can do it too my friend

and what's the solution? ____ all conservatives for the sake of humanity
