What the fuck is left for us to do. I’m surrounded by low iq inbred hillbillies that eat the shit they are fed right up. Vote? I did. Against this shit. Didint work. The cops will kill you. We don’t really have any options. It’s a disaster. The pedo is on control of everything. There is no checks and balances.

so, this might be kind of a risky comment but please bear with me

i mean the problem starts within yourself, and i don't mean that in an "you're not doing enough" way. the problem starts because we can't even define what a solution would look like. i believe that as soon as we have a better way of doing things, we will. the problem is just that in today's america, there is no significant vision for a worthwhile tomorrow. and that's the actual crisis. if you think that i'm wrong, please do explain how you imagine the future of the country in 40 years.

and i don't mean "go back to how it was in 2000" or something. that does not work. the crisis is an economic crisis, first and foremost. there's mass automation, already since the 1970s. more and more jobs are being removed, and if new branches of economy stagnate, then we'll eventually run out of jobs. that naturally creates a mass unemployment phenomenon. what do you do about that?

when you've answered that question, we can think about all the other problems too. :-)

With prediction markets on the rise, I wouldn't be surprised if "assassination politics" becomes our new economic system. For better or worse, an uncontrollable insurance market will internalize our growing and unaddressed externalities.

What comes next isn't necessarily what we wished for, it's just whatever survives capitalism attacking its weak points.

You might be doing all you can but WE as the collective aren’t doing jack shit. I see our people going to Chick-fil-A like there’s no other food available. Buying cheap tshirts from Walmart or Amazon. Thinking walking in circles in scheduled areas is a protest.

Y'all masturbate to the 2A your whole life. And when you're finally faced with fascism you turn into the cowards the world knew you were the whole time.

[–] WizardofFrobozz@lemmy.ca -5 points 20 hours ago (2 children)

Fuck YOU.

You know exactly what to do, you’re just a goddamn coward. Own it.

[–] Cornpop@lemmy.world 2 points 16 hours ago

You come here and pull the trigger and go to jail then lol

[–] JoeBigelow@lemmy.ca 3 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

Lol, you first big man behind a keyboard

[–] WizardofFrobozz@lemmy.ca -4 points 19 hours ago

Excellent. Keep reading from that script, MAGA-lite.

Fair question. It's easy for me to make suggestions because I'm on the other side of the world. My day to day is tough and overlaying everything I already need to do with suggestions like "move to another country" is just insensitive to the point of being offensive. That said ...

Plan to move to another country. It's possible or likely that you're unable to, but would would need to happen for you to be able to move in, say, 10 years time. What's the first step in that direction. It probably involves researching what skills you need to have to land jobs in other countries. There's a bunch of professions for which companies will arrange visas for skilled employees.

Connect with your community. Be part of community groups, connect with people, know peoples names and make small talk when you bump into them. Get to know people in your street, do nice things for them, take the bins in for them. Et cetera. Fascism and other far-right nuttiness is thriving in todays world of isolated, lonely people. Strong communities are the antidote to the hatred and anger that supports fascism.

Finally, vote and help others do so. Make a plan for what you need to do on the day. Assist others with their own plans.

It’s not a fair question at all. What he’s really asking is “what can I do that makes me feel good about myself but also requires zero risk or sacrifice?”

He’s not only useless, he’s part of the US’s problem

[–] athatet@lemmy.zip 1 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

Well good thing we have you to point that out for us. What a great and noble sacrifice you have made 🙄

[–] WizardofFrobozz@lemmy.ca -1 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

Very American of you. Sure- spend a couple centuries beating your chests and being shitty about how you’re EXCEPTIONALLY good at handling tyrants and then cower and ask other countries’ people to step up and take care of things for you because you’re too cowardly/lazy/comfortable… yes, pretty on-brand, and what the rest of us have suspected for some time.

[–] athatet@lemmy.zip 1 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

Again. Thank you for your service. The insults will deffo get the results that you desire.

[–] WizardofFrobozz@lemmy.ca -1 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

Your grandchildren will pretend you didn’t exist. Enabler.

[–] athatet@lemmy.zip 2 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

I’m disabled and live 3000 miles away from the fuhrer but sure, I’M the one who is letting this happen. Mah bad.

[–] WizardofFrobozz@lemmy.ca -2 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

The fact that you think Trump is the problem and not the 30% of your citizens embodying the absolute rot at the cwnter of your culture tells me all I need to know about you

[–] athatet@lemmy.zip 2 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

So now I’m in charge of a million people?! Should really let me know a little sooner next time and maybe I can actually do something about it.

[–] WizardofFrobozz@lemmy.ca -1 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

You are a coward. It’s fine. It’s not like you’re the only one. Just wait for someone else to come take care of it for you. I’m sure they’ll be along any minute now.

[–] athatet@lemmy.zip 1 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

I mean, I certainly hope they do. Or did you already forget the part where I said I was disabled? It’s fine. It’s not like you’re the only one.

[–] WizardofFrobozz@lemmy.ca -1 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

Sure, nothing you can do. Obviously. You’re immune to criticism. But you sure do really care a lot about pretending you’re one of the good ones, don’t you? Keep responding, it’s fine.

Good intentions mean NOTHING.

[–] athatet@lemmy.zip 1 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

No. You’re right. I’m definitely one of the bad ones.

I’m sowwy 🥺

[–] athatet@lemmy.zip 1 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

Ah. Given up have you? Off to insult the next disabled person then? Good luck with that.

[–] WizardofFrobozz@lemmy.ca -1 points 18 hours ago

Oh, I thought you were done. Well, then, let’s have it, please. What kind of reaction would you like? Happy to accommodate you; you absolute fucking clown.
