    It really is mind boggling that we still aren’t acting against our government. It’s a constant barrage of news about things getting increasingly worse, a whole available plan for what to expect and tons of comments about how “they’re gonna pay”. Like it’s absurd at this point.

      Cause people still haven’t gotten the severity of the situation through their heads. I lost my temper today at someone who said they’re looking forward to when he’s out of office. Don’t you get what’s happening? He isn’t going to leave office. There isn’t going to be an election as normal. The fascism isn’t ending until there’s a violent revolution or war

        Then go out and lose your temper on the people causing the problems. I know exactly where this is going, but if I lift my head from the mill for even a second the slave driver will have it cut off. We’re not stupid, we’re scared. We’re too scared to miss work for a protest, imagine how scary an armed rebellion would be.

      Didn’t you hear? There was a big bullshit parade with snarky signs this last weekend! It totally didn’t embolden the fascists and wasn’t absolutely a huge joke for the purpose of making white liberals feel satisfied that they “did something.”

      Are you trying to tell me that doing something like that, “peacefully,” one Saturday every three or four months (if the weather is nice and everyone can get permission to take a day off from work), isn’t enough??? Allow me to introduce you to a few thousand cowards on Lemmy who are ready to tell you why you’re wrong!
