If you think you’ve already lost, you only assure that loss is guaranteed. Every step of the fight, you need to think, pretend, you have a chance. Few people are willing to join a movement that’s already lost. People must never stop fighting and believing.
To not descend into full fascism and give us a chance to organize and vote them out for better politicians
A lemmy user, lying? Say it ain’t so
Let’s be fair. He never had any empathy to begin with …
If not democracy, then with what?
You can be arrested for anything yes. But not legally. Of course there’s no serious measures to enforce that on cops and need to be—but yes, a cop can arrest anyone in that sense
Simply put, if a person is voting specifically with the interests of the united states and not other countries in mind, those are arguably beneficial to us, whether or not they’ve caused issues for other countries (they have), just as this is not beneficial and indeed possibly actively harmful to the states
Like we had a department of defense that protected us from outside threats
It’s always been a department of war.
People who can’t afford to unionize cannot afford to not unionize.
On god please. However,
Start with taking back schools as safe places from gun massacres. If you can’t do that you can’t do shit. It’s a basic litmus test for a functional society.
Is not even close to true. There’s far more important issues to tackle that kill more kids. Focusing on that as the baseline when it’s tiny compared to the damage companies environmental damage and car do to kids is mixed priorities. We can focus on multiple things, but the priority should be on what’s killing the children in far greater numbers compared to the much smaller totals of school shooters. Focusing only on the sensationalist headlines instead of the greater dangers is misdirection from what truly is at the root of the damage to our society .
Which also makes it interesting you point out all Americans have is lies, when you yourself were fed the lie that the most concerning danger to children is guns, instead of cars, or pollution
My husband has always said immigrants fleeing their country should stay behind and fight and now he’s looking at countries that would accept us.
That’s interesting. I’ve always agreed with that logic. But I’ve decided to stick it out no matter what happens.
I signed the strike card at the general strike website but it’s taking too long before they call the strike. I fear that website will get raided and all the sign ups will be lost. 😞
Unfortunately that’s not how strikes work. They need critical mass or it will do nothing. It needs to have everyone on the list willing to risk their house, home, and livelihood to make it happen. And to you need to realize not even close to enough people are willing to do so.
If you haven’t already, try getting a union involved in your workplace, as a unionized workplace will allow far more successful organization of such events. Align a union you create yourself with your coworkers with UAW’s mass strike line, join their cause
It astounds me that people cannot understand this
Constitutional amendments are like, explicitly a check against the supreme court. They can’t… But that won’t stop them.
I think you’re quite underestimating the extent of gerrymandering. The reason they haven’t gone all out prior is out of 2 core reasons;fear voters would vote against them if they do and fear the other party would retaliate with similar measures. Option one is obviously been found to not be an issue, and now that they think they can seize permanent power with it, option 2 is also starting to be ignored by Republicans --but the dems are following through with the ever present implicit threat
It’s easier to understand a society looking in instead of being inside. When you’re inside a group it’s human nature to portray it as better and defend it. To look past the flaws.
Which is funny because EU wouldn’t do anything. . . He’s crazy paranoid
