The Supreme Court just gave the Trump administration a green light to traffic humans to random countries around the world—including war zones where migrants face torture, slavery, or death. And the…

Clearly the peaceful protests are working!

At the last protest, I embraced a crying queer young adult for over an hour, because they were completely beside themselves.

They had a mental breakdown because they didn't even realize they were living with so much stress and fear these past few months.

And when they finally summoned the courage to show up to their very first protest in their young life, they SO relieved that so many people CARED about that happened to them that it completely overwhelmed them.

So please and kindly, shut the fuck up.

And if we were able to actually EFFECTUATE CHANGE they’d never have to feel that way again. So YOU can kindly shut the fuck up and see about making things happen rather feeling better about the shit going down. Because when they come for you, or your friend, or whoever, you know that hat they’ll say? Fuck your feelings. And by then it’ll either be WAAAAAAAYYYY harder to fix, or completely impossible. I’m more of “stitch in time saves nine” person, not a “oh shit everything has gone to hell just like we’d been warned for a long, long time so now let’s see if they’ll listen to us as we address them reasonably (even though that approach has been ridiculed, mocked, and shown 100% ineffective against these clowns and the Nazis that came before them)” person.

Lemme know how cumbaya sounds in El Salvador. Or Libya. Or wherever the fuck you end up.

Talk talk talk. Go start a gang then. Make the next Black Panthers. You won't celebrate little wins for potential allies because your wrath pushes you to demand more. That's the same productivity squeezing mentality of a Walmart middle manager.

That is, assuming you aren't a plant trawling around for dissidents to investigate.

Wow, with this level of hate I’ll just sit back and watch them come for you. Fuck everyone who is just sitting here watching things happen - I HOPE you find out how pointless what you’re doing is!

With all due respect (none), you're literally worse than useless. Maybe you can collect a check from the CIA, since you're doing what they normally do (actively harming discourse in politically left leaning spaces) for free.

Additionally, if that is what you classify as hate, then maybe your skin isn't thick enough to actually do the hard work of fixing shit, of taking the power back. You're probably better suited to activities that are far more subservient, things like boot taste testing, or nazi apologia.

Your reactionary bullshit isn't helping anyone.

Nah. Guy moderates three places here (at least on that account). At least posting and commenting on Lemmy can make him part of useage statistics. I'll take the growth and laugh at the absurdidty.

And your “do nothing” attitude is also of no help. So sounds like you and I are the same.

What "do nothing" attitude? That's your attitude, not his. Stop projecting and do something useful for once in your life.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!
