You guys’ America-centric assumptions are really more in line with what we tend to see from MAGA chuds. Guess I shouldn’t be surprised that you aren’t fighting back too hard.
No one actually suggested you quit your job. YOU’RE the one that said that and I was pointing out the absurdity that that is the first and only place you go. Are you lost?
I am, and frankly I find the default assumption that the people criticizing ineffective action aren’t engaged in effective action to be extremely condescending.
The people the rest of the world has been warning for decades that this very situation would occur if you kept doing what you were doing? The people who got belligerent and shitty when we pointed out the path they were on? Easy to criticize them? Yeah, it very much is.

A bunch of us have had to live right next door to these people the whole time. Sometimes it’s so ridiculous that I think the simulation overseers are experimenting with the opposite of the simulated utopia from The Matrix that failed. Is there a level of absurdity that will get us to reject the simulation en masse?
This is Lemmy, the vast majority of Americans here lean hard left. We knew. What exactly were we supposed to do? Die immediately in an immature revolution? Magically devise the perfect argument to overcome a century of anti-left propaganda?
This reminds me of a recurrent thing in life: someone competes following a set of rules, and the other player doesn’t follow them. Of course that gives them an advantage.
There are two logical options to make the game fair again:
1)finding a way to make the second player follow the original rules
No, you’re right, you’ve done plenty. You should feel very pleased with your effort. You deserve a rest, even. Have yourself a nap and I promise nobody will wake you up to tell you how goofy it is that you just called Americans on Lemmy “hard left” 😅
Ah yes, they live in the mystical land of Canada, that does no wrong at all, and definitely hasnt done ANYTHING wrong, especially to their indigenous people. the mystical far off country far away from Canada, where there’s nothing he could do but spew hate! Do you realize how far away Canada is? All he can do is advocate violence, can you imagine how hard it would be to get to the US?
As long as you can point to a country you believe is doing worse there is no reason to want yours to do better. You are just mainlining that propaganda aren’t you?
“America is the greatest country on earth!”*
*Not due to actually being great in any way, just due to the fact that we believe other countries are at least slightly worse, and that’s good enough for me!
The fact that you’re posting this means you’re not dead or in prison, which thought-stopping cliche will you use to explain your cowardly inaction?
Or maybe I don’t live in a shithole country?

I guess I should quit my job and condemn my family to destitution because some guy on Lemmy called me a pussy for not fighting the government. Rofl.
Right, that’s what the rest of the world is waiting on Americans to do: quit their job.
“Do nothing” is so ingrained in the American psyche that when pushed to do something the only thing they can think of is doing even less.
No. I’m not quitting my job. That’s the dumbest fucking thing anyone could suggest. Grow up.
If there’s a general strike, I’ll participate. Quitting my job and condemning my family to starve? Fuck outta here with that childish nonsense.

Put a /s on it then, moron.
Didn’t see an /s on your post. Felt the sarcasm in response to sarcasm was pretty obvious. But great deflection from what was actually being said!
/S
It sure is easy to criticize people for inaction when you’re at no risk yourself.
Inaction isn’t going to keep you safe.
Neither is poorly planned action.
I sure hope that means you are involved in planning actions instead of using it as an excuse to do nothing.
I am, and frankly I find the default assumption that the people criticizing ineffective action aren’t engaged in effective action to be extremely condescending.
The assumption comes from the current lack of action in general.
Just because you’re not involved with action doesn’t mean it isn’t happening.
What action do you think we could be doing at this moment, that would actually accomplish something, that we aren’t already doing?

WHY ARENT YOU GUYS DOING ANYTHING BUT POSTING ON THE INTERNET? does nothing but post on the internet
Did you miss the part where they don’t live in the US? Do you lack reading comprehension or is this just your go to thought stopping cliche?

Their shitty country is fascist too. Guaranteed.
lmao yeah right chud. They’re all shitholes especially yours.
