Sounds like there needs to be an active, maybe kinetic, effort to maintain the peace

You’re not going to change my mind, and it feels like I’m playing into your votescolding fetish which I did not consent to. Good night and good luck washing the stains of genocide from your soul

Ah yes, vote them out by voting for what candidates? People that use the same rhetoric you’re using also deploy it in “electability pragmatism” during primaries to cull any further left candidates because it “will alienate moderates” in generals. Then you do this stupid shit of eating a turd sandwich and saying next time you’re definitely going to get what you ordered without doing anything different. And that’s all assuming any alternatives aren’t immediately torpedoed by incredible spending differences due to corporate and party backing

Maybe if any of you harm reducing fools grew a backbone and had some principles on who you’ll vote for we wouldn’t have to think about when that will happen in the US. Watching the Dems slide further and further right while saying they’re better than Republicans is not helping anyone, especially future Americans

Only one of the 2 party systems will allow this in our future at the moment

The Dems sued to remove the PSL from the ballot in my state

No one is forcing you to act this way. Your lack of compassion is evident in your inability or lack of desire to criticize those guidelines which directly result in the death and disablement of thousand a month

Hmmm did the science change or did the engine of capital decide it couldn’t afford to have people treat covid in the way it should be. How is advocating for wearing a mask now in the midst of these regular waves no longer following science

“My heart goes out to the people who have had family members die, but I’m going to call people who want to do something about it extremists”

Please kindly fuck off

live in bubble wrap forever

Shit like this is why you’re getting so much flack. It’s so fucking patronizing it makes me only want to tell you to fuck off

Wearing a mask, social distancing, and regularly washing your hands isn’t living in bubble wrap. Having basic concern for your fellow man isn’t moving.

I know multiple people with long covid. I know even more who are immunocompromised who are forced into hermitude because people like you cannot fathom to understand the experience of living a life that isn’t yours and how actions completely out of your control can completely destroy your life. Please do some soul searching and find a shred of empathy.

1.5% of deaths now per some quick CDC research

I’m sure the over 4000 families in the past 3 months who had someone die from covid feel similarly to you, that their loved one was not statistically significant and that it’s for the best that they’re dead so people like you don’t have to live in bubble wrap

Did it suddenly stop having long term damage to the immune and cardiovascular system or did capital decide it was time for everyone to get back to work?

Sorry you haven’t been paying attention in you comfortable bubble, but covid never stopped being an issue

So Cuba should dissolve a government widely approved of by the people and return to client state gang run institutions for the ability to receive food? You’re a fucking idiot. Calling people sith lords, please learn to engage in world politics by using meaningful vocabulary instead of trying to equate everything to your favorite work of fiction

China should run port blockade

Well if you have to have 28 of them…

I kept wondering if they believed that as well or was purely for the rubes. Like isn’t the whole point of guerilla warfare that it’s decentralized and somewhat grassroots via pockets of resistance fighters with varying degrees of coordination

Speculation it was deleted in part due to the laptop showing a picture of an IOF member which is blurred in the current one

So tired of “protests are useless” posting. There are good ways to make a critique of a movements but this is not it.

The past decade around the globe protest movements exploded into radical restructuring of various countries’ way of governing. This particular protest doesn’t seem like it will evolve into that, but no one ever predicted the outcome of past eruptions.

A protest isn’t a reliable or advisable way to create a revolution, but they are still great organizing opportunities and solidarity building events.

Please stop with the nihilism

Tofu and lentils are so much cheaper than meat.

Diy’ing things too. If you ever need a new tool or household item or have to fix something you’re almost certainly not the first, so searching up DIY _ or How to Fix _ will almost always pull up a handy guide. I’ve saved thousands at this point

Nah I think the people who constantly make the most barbaric decisions or excuse why they can’t revert them are the ones being anti-democratic.

Wouldn’t those with the power given to them by the population who then act against what those voters want be the anti-democratic ones?

I struggle to see how potential voters pointing out they never get what they ask for is the reason for any of our problems today.

Hey, uh, I think this thing is broken

Nah, it’s working as intended, if you look back here both levers are pressing this button that says ‘Barbarism’
