And that’s basically it!
“Erika Kirk will continue his legacy, and will be a fearless advocate for the most elite airpower force in the history of the world whose warriors keep our nation safe, strong and free.”
Do you think Erika Kirk could even describe to you how airplanes fly with a basic grade school explanation?
Hopefully Trump steals the midterms as well and plunges the entire world into further chaos, maybe then Americans will consider doing something? I'm genuinely curious as to what it will take for general strikes?
It’s going to take a culture shift. People on the ground don’t feel like they can trust each other. Until we have a sense that our neighbors won’t let us go hungry, a general strike can’t be sustained.
We get there with mutual aid, building relationships with our neighbors, and time. General strike 2028
Damn, if you're aiming for 2028 to effect any realistic changes that ship might have sailed. People are already hungry and broke, I don't understand you lot to be honest.
Just 2 more years of fascism then we can speak up
Fascism will dig in and you won't have elections without violence, we've literally seen it before. Only this time they have the worlds richest people funding them.
He’s being facetious. Sarcastic, even.
It's a sign of the times that I couldn't pick up on that...
Fr if you have any suggestions on how to do it faster, I’m listening
Fr, general strikes.
My neighbors are letting me go hungry. Right now I need help and there is no one.
If you’re us based city folk, look up mutual aid groups in your area. They exist and can help, or connect you to help
Have you not studied basic history? Americans won't do shit.
It's a question that needs to be asked, and yes I know they won't. If they haven't already with everything illegal and immoral and Trumps been up to, they never will.
No one does anything, until they do. And someones did somethings already, the introduction of UH boss to Nemesis, being framed on Luigi for instance.
Okay but they do, though. Look up medics who supported the Selma march for an example of Americans doing something for each other
People here will not general strike until they literally cannot feed themselves. And even then, it's a toss up.
The problem with that is you're going to get nothing but resentment and very little sympathy from most people. The actions of your government is causing chaos in the world, and for all intents and purposes you're doing nothing about it.
I'm just stating the reality, not defending it.
Something like 40% of people in this country support what's happening. They might tell a survey that they're not happy about invading Iran, but it will never stop them from financially supporting, and voting for, the fascists that are doing the things.
People here are rotten to the core.
Unfortunately I agree, very tunnel visioned.
