Don't you feel it's a bit counterintuitive to call someone tonedeaf for being unaware of "International Day of Solidarity with Long Term Anarchist Prisoners", something that more than 99.9999% of people are likely unaware of?
Wouldn't you be better off, say, helping build awareness of such a day instead of simply berating someone for not knowing about it? At the moment, you're teaching people to treat it like a joke.
Right... like you didn't grow up watching the International Day of Solidarity with Long Term Anarchist Prisoners special every year with the rest of us
Sounds like you're just blaming people for not being as smart and enlightened as you because you're so special you knew about an obscure day that almost nobody outside your usual bubble has heard of.
You could have actually brought awareness to that fact, but you decided to be a petulant clown instead. Bravo.
The Black Panthers were notable, back in the 1970s, with their leaders either arrested on phony charges or killed in police raids.
Occupy Wall Street members were routinely subjected to arrest and detention in the wake of the '08 Recession.
Wikileaks was another big one in the early '10s, with its major contributors and journalists all arrested or forced into hiding.
The Black Lives Matter movement had many of its early leaders jailed or killed, before the various social media organizing tags were hijacked by online media personalities.
Shut up with that divisive BS. I never said I was liberal, I'm a democratic socialist. You're clearly an authoritarian trying to divide us by starting arguments with your sockpuppet accounts. Nobody with half a brain is falling for it.
Liberal is defined as being a supporter of liberalism.
Liberalism is the dominant ideology in much of the world, which believes in Private Property Rights and thus supports the Capitalist Status Quo.
Liberalism was considered "left" during the French Revolution, against the Monarchy, but is now a right wing ideology as opposed to Socialism.
It doesn't take being a "tankie" to know what Liberalism is, lmao. Definitely not a sockpuppet and certainly not susceptible to misinformation, you just generally are ill-informed and violently upset.
You defined Liberalism as simply "being on the left." This is untrue, it's a Capitalist ideology and therefore at minimum on the right. Liberalism may claim to be in favor of free speech and equality, but the fact that wealthy people control speech and inherently create class society proves this hollow.
I do disagree with Capitalism, I am a Socialist. Liberalism should be attacked. Leftism will become the majority as Capitalism continues to decline worldwide and inequality continues to skyrocket, individuals being "nicer" about spreading theory will not speed this process up. That belief is Utopianism.
Then, construct your comment in a way that conveys such information without automatically ostracizing them from ever having sympathy for your cause. You're never going to build curiosity in those unaware of your cause if you begin by chasing them away.
You must be one of a few hundred people on the planet who know about it so I don't know why you're expecting people to care and not post memes that might be related to it.
Still a stupid meme. People are fighting for a better tomorrow. It's just that the state also cracks down on revolutionary movements (remember Tortuguita and the Stop Cop City protests? Or Lützerath? The fucking Black Panthers?)
Also, activism burnout is also a thing, framing it like people are just too complacent is simply disrespectful. Basically a leftist version of the "still you partake in society" meme.
It also reeks of the defeatist mentality/capitalist propaganda that lefties are fighting for a miserable future. Simply a stupid meme all around and to top it all off on an unfitting date.
Or maybe things just aren't as bad for people in first world countries and that's why we still see revolutions happening in third world countries?
It's not as if governments don't get violently overthrown anymore, it just happens in places where most people really are suffering a lot more than most people in Europe or North America are. My life isn't perfect, but I look at the lives of people in Venezuela or Bangladesh and there's no comparison to be made and I'm sure even poor people feel the same way in most first world countries.
