“CEOs donate $300m to his prosecutors”
Sadly you know that’s gonna happen.
The land of free $peech and non human "persons". We deserve the festering pool of shit we live in.
Sort of. We all have failed to act over decades (provided we knew and were able to protest).
But thats also how struggle works. We now know and we have the means to act (our voices and feet and hands - assumed).
Everybody who failed to act in the past can act now and absolve themselves of the burden. Telling others its too late is another tool of the elite to keep us still while we’re being raped.
Tell everyone you know about it, help others who lead the resistance in your area or online. Fascism has shown its ugly face in hypercapitalists and we now have a common enemy. We can learn from the successful resistance actions of the past.
Organize, organize, organize!
Yeah. We still deserve what we have though. Deserving the bed you made isn't the same thing as rolling over.
Not sure I agree. „Deserve“ would be the word to use to make you take blame for something you arent responsible for.
For example: the „normal“ person is not able to understand very complex things and statistically does not work a cognitively demanding job.
Manipulating these people through algorithms isnt exactly rocket science. I‘m not sure it is okay to blame them for it.
What I would blame them for is not acting now. So no, I dont think „deserve“ is a good word to use. Lets do away with blaming each other and start working on a solution.
Nah. Some people are driven by fault. You preach to people like you, I'll preach to people like me. You aren't going to force our brains to work differently because you get your feelings hurt by vocabulary. I voted in every presidential election since I was 18 and almost every midterm. I didn't protest or organize political action so I didn't do everything I could. I hold fault so I deserve what I got. Stop tone policing.
Please stop gaslighting me, thanks. I never tone policed. I disagreed with you which I am perfectly allowed to, period.
Perfect example of „slight disagreements“ leading to infighting.
Buddy you got emotionally elevated by the word "deserve" to the point you had to chime in and correct my mistake. Different folks different strokes. You don't get to police what drives other people. I had no problem admitting people are different but you for some reason can't.
