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?

God Lemmy is a shit hole now

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.

Fuck your stocks. How many trans friends have you lost and did you even really care until it started affecting the economy. Fuck your stocks.

I’m with you but it’s a generational thing. Are you a millennial?

Quality rat posting

Idiocracy is trash for babies, up your socially critical media game.

The first pandemic is still killing disabled people.

I’ve decided this is good and want a Lemmy that is restricted to just the nerdiest of nerds. These little spaces are cool without all those horrible reddit users.

Ah, sorry then. I only saw the Kendrick clip afterwards. D&D is the best

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

Watch HBomber guy video on CAD

Oh, I was like “why are you telling me this?” It’s because you still think boycotting does something right? Right.

Go back and watch This is America. Sounds trite but just do it.

Just my wife, who downloaded the app for me and subscribed to instances because it’s too complicated and effort

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

Doing the the thing in direct opposition to what an authority is demanding is like a trauma response or something.

Yeah. Lemmy users should spend a bit of time deconstructing why tik tok makes them so angry. There’s a bit to unpack there. Not that it isn’t trash.

Oh yeah, lifestyle changes will totally change the system, just look how far green capitalism got us /s. As far as I can tell, personal responsibility and guilt is a tool used very successfully by the oppressive classes. It’s not progressive to point the finger at people who don’t have the luxury of hand picking an “ethical profession”-something I’d love to see an example of? Find better targets to be angry at bud.
