I’m insinuating that we can become ungovernable and force the government to capitulate to our demands. Mass protest, general strike, public disruptions, boycott, we have options to fight back.
Another narcissistic comment. You assume everyone else must live in a cornfield doing nothing because you do. SAD, especially since you support genocide.
One set of policies is more helpful to ending the war peacefully than the other is. If you cared about your cause instead of grandstanding, you’d vote for it. Not voting sends no signal, and on average ends up with a policy somewhere between the two options, which is worse than the better option by definition. If you’re going yo waste your vote, at LEAST vote third party so that your message will be heard.
Hey guess what? Fascists dont give a fuck about that shit, youll end up in a puddle of your own blood cause ya wont have the numbers. If it didnt work out for the fighters at Blair mountain a hundred year ago what makes ya think youll achieve anything.
Fuck ya’d have a better chance doing random acts of terrorism that put the fucken IRA to shame. Still probably end up in a ditch but you could probably kill some of the ones trying to kill you.
If you actually believed this sky is falling bullshit you’d be doing a hell of a lot more than voting. Do you even own a gun? lol
EDIT sorry don’t answer that. What I mean I, I doubt you own a gun because you do not believe you’d ever need one, because you do not believe fascism is actually coming. This is all rhetoric.

Im a Redneck, course I own a fucken gun. But heres the thing the Republicans are a party of fucken fascists, even if they dont get as bad as I suspect theyll still most likely use the police to gun down protesters and strikers. I just aint an idiot who assumes shit will work out, so I take every fucken step I can to keep the worst from happening. “Prepare for war hope for peace” is a pretty solid summary of alot of my philosophy.
I assume for the worst and the worst involves concentration camps, firing lines, and the destruction of civil liberties. Sure ya can probably take out the local police with an ad hoc militia, but can ya take out say an SS or SA equivalent? What about the National guard or the military itself? Cause my rough guess is that the corruption would take about ten years minimum to destroy the professionalism and tech advantage of the US military.
Voting costs nothing and depending on where one lives can have an outsized impact.
Important, but not to the level of civil disobedience like when we protested police abuse and systemic racism. Like a 4/10 judging by people’s actions.
I donate to bail funds and support resistance groups financially, because I live in the middle of fucking nowhere and there aren’t protests for me to join.
Oh come on, that’d expose them to actual risk from their neighbors who likely don’t share their views, and they surely cannot do that. Except when they become ungovernable when things get worse partially because of their vote, and then they’ll magically be capable of winning a revolution or whatever.

Instead of just voting every couple years.
You’re organizing those things, or at least joining others who are organizing, right?
As much as we can, plus financial support.
But I’m not going to organize a protest in a rural cornfield lol
So you support genocide because you live in a cornfield? Cool.
It’s not like you’re out there fucking volunteering for Harris anyway. Do you want Trump to win??? 🙄
Another narcissistic comment. You assume everyone else must live in a cornfield doing nothing because you do. SAD, especially since you support genocide.
I know, for a fact, that most people don’t do anything political other than vote every few years. I’m assuming you’re one of them.
Am I wrong?
I donate to bail funds and resistance orgs.
I bet you haven’t donated to Harris.
Why not both?
Go ahead.
But I’m not voting for genocide. I’d rather die.
Part of Harris’s platform is a cease fire and a two state solution. Voting for her wouldn’t be “voting for genocide”.
You have three options:
One set of policies is more helpful to ending the war peacefully than the other is. If you cared about your cause instead of grandstanding, you’d vote for it. Not voting sends no signal, and on average ends up with a policy somewhere between the two options, which is worse than the better option by definition. If you’re going yo waste your vote, at LEAST vote third party so that your message will be heard.
You first.
That’s… Not how it works?
We do it together…
So you support genocide. Got it.
You have quite a fantasy going for yourself.

We don’t talk about that on Lemmy.

Over people dying in another country? And not for important things like disenfranchising and taxes?
Yikes. Genocide is pretty fucking important.
Important, but not to the level of civil disobedience like when we protested police abuse and systemic racism. Like a 4/10 judging by people’s actions.
2023 was the most deadly year for police shootings. Systemic racism and police abuse didn’t go away. Yet, no one is in the street.
Why do you think that is?
But instead you’ll do nothing, and feel smug about it.
I donate to bail funds and support resistance groups financially, because I live in the middle of fucking nowhere and there aren’t protests for me to join.
So you support genocide because you live “nowhere”? OK.
Yeah I’m pretty pathetic - I’m doing as much to stop genocide as you are to stop Trump lol
Start one then if you feel that strongly about what’s going on in Gaza
Oh come on, that’d expose them to actual risk from their neighbors who likely don’t share their views, and they surely cannot do that.

How many hours have you volunteered for Harris? Don’t you want to stop Trump?
