Off My Chest
RULES:
I am looking for mods!
1. The "good" part of our community means we are pro-empathy and anti-harassment. However, we don't intend to make this a "safe space" where everyone has to be a saint. Sh*t happens, and life is messy. That's why we get things off our chests.
2. Bigotry is not allowed. That includes racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, xenophobia, and religiophobia. (If you want to vent about religion, that's fine; but religion is not inherently evil.)
3. Frustrated, venting, or angry posts are still welcome.
4. Posts and comments that bait, threaten, or incite harassment are not allowed.
5. If anyone offers mental, medical, or professional advice here, please remember to take it with a grain of salt. Seek out real professionals if needed.
6. Please put NSFW behind NSFW tags.

I think you’re underestimating the importance of the clause that their kids are in the building. It’s a very different thing to throw a brick at the cops when you’re alone and when you’ve got small children. The government doesn’t give a fuck about keeping kids out of it, meaning parents have to.
I am extremely aware how the US coerces families. I am asking if it's worth complying with the succeeding genocides?
It’s worth it for those of us without children to make the hard decisions and let the people with them concentrate on protecting them.
After all, making sure kids survive, thrive, and learn your culture is how you deal with the aftermath of a genocide.
You can protect children all the while destroying fascism.
The problem is that 60% of the 🇺🇲population want their flavor of fascism. Democrats want it through Zionism. GOP’s version is playing out in real time.
What 🇺🇲 culture is there to protect after all the indigenous genocides have been already committed? How are you ensuring children thrive in GOP’s vision of reenslavement, pollution, climate destruction, and book burnings you haven't protected?
I fail to see a future children are protected that the 🇺🇲 fascists haven't secured. Unless you have brighter ideas than compliance.
I really tried to engage in good faith, but I can’t believe someone simultaneously thinks there’s no culture and that there’s a genocide. If I’m wrong, it’s my loss. You have a good day.
I asked what culture you're trying to protect.
The one 🇺🇲 genocides for, or OPs?
Your nonclarity is what speaks louder than my typed pressure.
