God forbid people feel something when they go to a protest. Don't be a dick, dude. That person is doing their best. They can't literally call every American out to action.
And don't get me wrong, I also respect your right to jerk off at America's FAFO moment (hey, who hasn't at least a little?) since a whole bunch of people there need a reality check, the hard way. But a lot of innocent people both in and out America are also suffering and dying because of the recent cuts, so let's reserve our hatred to those handing out the pain, and let's encourage fighting back in a constructive way, because I guarantee you nobody anywhere will be safe if this regime finds its footing and achieves long term stability.
Also, it's this nihilistic low-trust doomer mindset, induced by decades of neoliberalism, that brought this Joker-mode fascism in the first place, because people just gave up fighting for a future and just want to burn everything to the ground and jerkoff to watching others suffer so they can forget about their own misery. We all need to start believing in something good before it's too late, regardless how "cringe" that might sound to either of us.
Bullshit.
Correct. Sounds to me like Americans should stop patting themselves on the back for doing protests like it’s the fuckin’ Bush era.
I think people can be proud of their actions while also improving. Not to mention, others might be inspired to follow their lead, people sitting on the fence one nudge away from joining.
But by all means. If you have any suggestions, how about provide them instead of berating people for standing up — especially when you yourself admitted it can be dangerous.
Are you saying that the resistance is simply suffering from a lack of imagination? The problem is that they just don’t know what they could possibly do? Jesus, you’re absolutely boned.
I don't have "the resistance" in the room with me right now to ask them what they do or don't know. But you seem to know, since you're being very critical that they're not doing the things you want them to do, without saying what they are — so I'm asking you what you personally think they should do rather than what they shouldn't.
