What about blinking less often?

Why do i need to convince a bunch of lemmings that shit is bad in the US? That is laughable. We all fucking know already.

It’s like you can’t read, but I know you can because you can write well enough, so I guess it’s that you either didn’t read or lack the tools to comprehend?

When will you be attempting your first political assassination? Who will be your target? Don’t go all American on me now, you’re a big strong Aussie after all, right? You got some MAGA-types down your way, when’s the next attack planned? Or are you going after the US Embassy to really send a message? Do tell…

I’m not denying reality. I’m mad and I want to make things better. So I work within my personal sphere of influence to lead by example and show the people around me what being kind, caring, interested, and engaged looks like in real life. I talk about the scary things I see or read about happening, along with the historical correlations when I recognize them and have the opportunity, with anyone and everyone that wants to discuss it, and frequently in spaces where others can overhear the conversation.

I think there are lots of people taking a similar approach. Talking to people around you in person is a lot more effective than doing it on the internet.

I’m not saying you’re doing the thing I’m about to mention, to be clear, but it feels adjacent to it, so I’m throwing it out there for the lemmyverse at large. I think it’s kinda shitty to see all the “why aren’t Americans doing anything” comments and posts. It would be astronomically stupid to post openly online about any serious resistance efforts. Most of us just want to live our lives, raise our families, and teach our children how to grow into honest and caring adults when they grow up. Being a lone wolf in a revolution that hasn’t yet materialized does not help any of us accomplish those goals, and it hurts the chances of a real popular uprising once a critical mass is achieved because it gives the gestapo something to point to and say “See, we’re actually needed for safety and not fascist pigs.” I can’t go fix this problem by myself any other way than the one I am doing right now, and I’m doing the hell out of it.

But it makes me sad, and a little bit depressed, probably like you are feeling too based on your post, to see such an apparent dearth of true patriotism reflected in our ruling class and to further see it echoed by the ruled class with stupid signs and idolatrous Trump flags alongside American flags that the flyer clearly has no real connection to other than as a cult symbol. Always remember how hard moneyed interests in the US attacked our education system, and never forgive the people that have made it a multi generational effort to ensure American children grew up without a true understanding of how government works nor the stakes at hand.

And now, with our society operating with a 6th grade reading level, the ruling class is performing their next trick: fooling the undereducated into allowing the rulers to take over and own everything as they see fit. After all, running things is very complicated and the instruction manuals are written at a much higher reading level than we can really understand entirely, you see. They fucked us, they are fucking us, and they continue to fuck us, while removing our collective ability to spread awareness of the perpetual enfuckening and how it has developed.

It’s just a whole thing, man. Fuck me. I’m trying, I’m doing my best, others are too, the constant reminder that I’m not doing enough is a bit much, and I’m not in a position where I can just declare myself a plumber with an affinity for he color green and see how my new career works out. In fact, that would probably make me less effective to the resistance efforts. You know?

Yeah but you referenced Soylent when the original comment was about Soylent Green (which, as you tacitly acknowledge, came first) so you kind of got the cause and effect backwards

“TACOman’s line in the sand indicating a quickly approaching deadline was mysteriously washed away by a passing wave, and now there’s magically this new line that has developed in the sand over here…”

TACO, TACO man, I wanna be a TACO man

Begging China to buy 4x more soybeans from is than they are AND caving on tariffs again? Truly artful, this deal-making is proving to be.

March 8th, 2021, was a very informative day. It’s fortunate that was included in your 10-article window!

First thing I’d troubleshoot… Is your router the issue, or the modem that decodes the signal from your ISP?

Last I checked, router/AP stuff is pretty easy to DIY (OpenWRT, PFsense, etc). But that’s the step after the modem has done what it needs to do.

Yet somehow, Copper Man keeps catching all the charges

This is such a humongous “fuck you” to those who have served. So much of what is happening right now is unforgivable.

More domestic terrorist level shit from right wingers. They self-identified as such at their convention a while back. We should consider taking that seriously at some point, I feel like.

Someone’s gotta try the 9th-hole-at-9 gag next. All those golf courses, each one a new opportunity!

Well the Epstein truther wing of MAGA is just going to eat this up and I’m here for it

I fucking love this
