Considering how much fascism is on the rise globally and the results in the latest US election, most people do not in fact recognize fascism. Nor see it as the threat it is

I think it's both. It probably starts with gender discrimination (as the medical field highly favors men. Look at the differences in how we are taught about heart attacks for men and women for example) but then on top of that, it adds the racial discrimination.

Black women (and especially queer black women) are among the most discriminated groups sadly

Full context here for everyone.

Personally, that answer does not seem nearly enough and I believe he should step down if he truly cared about the Proton project as a whole.

Should I work with Marxist-Leninists?

If you're organising at work or around housing issues, the people you work with are not going to all have the same politics at you, and your opinions on the July 1918 uprising of Left Socialist Revolutionaries after their expulsion from the Bolshevik government are not relevant to that situation. Yes, really, no-one gives a shit. You're relating to each other as workers in that situation, not as representatives of a political niche, at least we hope not.

[...]

If there are real political and organisational disagreements, it's better to be open about them than gloss over them, and retain some independence.

Bro...

The right wing/fascists are gaining seats and control everywhere while telling us to our faces what they want to do and all these centrist moderate fuckers can do is "plan to energetically advance a probe into a potential moderation".

I hate this timeline as much as I hate them

Advocates are urging the Biden administration to act quickly

Why? The Liberals and Democrats as a whole acted as if everything was fine for the past 4 years. They only appointed Jack Smith 2 years after Jan 6.

They don't need to act quickly because they are not the ones facing the bulk of consequences. Biden did not and could not care less because his party doesn't see fascism as the existential threat that it is

Edit: if you think I'm exaggerating, remember when a few weeks before dropping out, Biden explicitily said that if he lost against Trump, he would've been happy with himself because at least he gave it all? Yeah. That's not the reaction of someone who truly sees fascism as a cancer to society and democracy

In this moment of rising tensions and with a lot of countries turning to populist right wingers (if not straight up fascists), spineless liberals who only care about money are not going to provide any effective leadership for anyone.

And their scare tactics worked so well that now people voted for the Republicans to remove "Obamacare" even if they need it to live...

So ignorance is also part of the answer sadly

I remember reading somewhere that one of the possible reasons for that feeling might be because of the change in times.

As in, when we go to work, we usually have to wake up early and then have our routine during the rest of the day. But on holidays/during the weekend, we tend not to follow any schedules. And then after getting used to waking up whenever we want (or later than usual), we get cranky because our body is (forced to get) used to our working schedule.

So a solution might be go to bed at times that aren't too different from your usual times during your working days.

Basically, some consistency with your sleep might help.

And please don't tell me "just change jobs".

Fair. Can I then suggest a social and political revolution to change the current system in which we have to waste our lives working for rich fucks who don't care about us?

To anyone liking this post, be aware that OP is just a rightwing bigoted troll who was banned by blahaj.zone because of it and also believes that CRT and DEI are "Marxist plots"

Why? And have you read any Marxist writings before deciding that you were better just jumping into the far right rabbit hole?

Edit: after going through your profile, I see that you have not. You fully decided to be a rightwing troll repeating the same old incorrect talking points because "mArXiStS aRe mEaN tO Me wHeN I rEpEaT fAsCiSt TaLkiNg PoiNts"

Edit 2: holy shit, it's even worse than I thought. You have been banned from most blahaj.zone for being a bigoted transphobe. I understand why you're promoting such garbage.

Well OP spelled it out in this comment here:

"Waiting for the ML trolls to come out of the woodwork complaining about how I'm evil or whatever"

It's just complaining and victim complex.

This OP is literally making pointless memes to get a reaction and then feel vindicated about all of this when some eViL ML replies to this user's trolling.

So this person is free to go to a specifically ML instance to be a rude asshole, and yet the "evil tankie communists" are at fault somehow for removing the stupid post or something... 🙄

Just cleaning up after your whitewashing

What crimes exactly has any of those communities committed? I must have missed those posts.

Also...I admitted some views can be extreme/incorrect. I never said they are the perfect instance. None is. And that's not how you use that term by the way, my friend

Their community is just a bunch of trolls like you said

That's not what I said :) you are very obviously misquoting my comments

I'm glad the instance I use block overtly toxic ones

Neat. Good for you then, that's the beauty of the fediverse

Your username makes a lot of sense after reading such opinion, I'm going to be honest.

Do you sincerely think those 2 things are even remotely comparable?
