Meanwhile the real opposition is posting on Lemmy
My favorite thing about all these revolution working class rise up posts is that it's always posted by people LARPing about fighting back online but also doing nothing
I'm too overworked and socially disabled to do anything
"but what are you doing, hero?"
The war cry of the complacent, docile and subservient American.
Look I wanna be a hero but I just can't
We don't need heroes. we need people who show up regularly. And many of them.
Therein lies your problem. I can show up for a weekend. I can show up for several weekends, in fact. I can't sit in a protest for two weeks, because I have a job I need to keep in order to eat food and own a home.
As the economy collapses further more and more people will become available for the sort of protest required of them, because they will no longer have job responsibilities. Or food. Possibly including me.
Until that time, I will be making efforts to keep my job.
This is all a part of organizing. Helping others. But you cannot organize if you do not show up. Either way you'll end up at the same place.
Absolutely correct. Many are quick to criticize the method of resistance as the problem when they’re completely missing the point that a national response of 5M out of a nation of 340M will change nothing.
We need to engage the disengaged, not fight over the content of the protest.
I mean if you post online something like “Hey who wants to join my armed revolution?” then you’re gonna get the feds on you and your organization’s cover is going to get blown. If somebody does get caught and their connections can be traced back to a website or other community, then the unradicalized masses will see that website/community as a breeding ground for violence and either that website/community or the government will make the website/community clamp down and/or give up IDs of other members. Especially in an era where data is a commodity and the psychopathic tyrants are unmoved by peaceful protest, effective rebel cell formation and action has to be cloak and dagger and requires time to form an armed militia with a clear objective and a strong majority of the populace would need to sympathize. Definitely don’t abide by this info and form a rebel cell in real life, since that would be illegal and therefore bad; if you were a fictional character in the fictional Star Wars universe, for example, then go ahead.
Damn I hadn't realised I never actually helped organise a protest for paramedics in my city.
I could've sworn I had before you let me know I hadn't.
Silly me
Good for you, but you were better off staying quiet with that one.
No he wasn't. You said that no one was doing anything. He came back to show people are. The media is trying to hide it, but it's important to spread the word.
I don't think that was the parent commenter though...
If you're organizing protests, you really don't want your online presence linked to your actions or your identity.
He came back to claim people are.
We are still on the internet. People lie all the time.
Yeah just a series of annoying responses triggered me 😭
y tho...
I'm sensing some sincerity from a user who posted a shitpost. Sorry I hurt your butt.
i like how you assume we are just as inactive as libs.
Most of them are the same Putin shills that throw wedges between leftists/progressives/liberals with the goal of destabilizing the US. GeNoCiDe JoE every Israel post in 2024, but not a peep about Trump’s billionaire resort plans for the West Bank. Now it’s back to criticizing Netanyahu, not the guy who upgraded him to 10-ton bombs.
Goddamn blue MAGA fucking sucks. We aren't supposed to criticize Netanyahu? You are just mad it isn't your woman sending the bombs.
You absolutely should criticize Netanyahu. You should also try working on your reading comprehension. I’m critical of the people who railed on Biden on every Israel post last year that don’t say shit about Trump this year. Just a bunch of one-sided shit stirrers that act like liberals are worse than far-right fascists.
I do think there is psyops to wedge the progressives and liberals. However, this benefits the blue MAGA nonetheless. The blue MAGA kept going on about the "lesser evil" and "perfect is the enemy of good" phrases. It occured to me that it is a thought terminating response from criticising the Democratic Party from actually being active to go further left in order to finally quash the far-right. Moreover, those phrases are also usually conservative phrases to convince people to accept the status quo. This make the Democratic party conservative. And the problem with conservatives is they would rather side with fascists, than to rein the ills of capitalism to keep the monied interests happy. The right and conservative parties in 1934 Germany elected to give Hitler absolute power while the left opposed it. Ninety years later in the US, which party allowed the GOP bill to gut welfare programmes? It is the Democrats with Chuck Schumer. Progressives have the last laugh over liberals/blue MAGA being wrong on "vote blue, no matter who" nonsense (although fascists indeed would like the left to have the last laugh before sending us to concentration camps). The Democrats would vote with MAGA regardless of whether or not they have the majority anyway!
This.
None of these leftists have done shit. They just shit talk on the internet, and pretend that sitting out is doing something worthwhile.
