4·1 day agoAre you willing to take that risk?
Because I wouldn’t
Though, hell, it’d already be too late for me, as I’m trans. Thankfully I don’t live in the US
“it’s never going to happen” until it happens
How many “it’s incredibly unlikely the republicans do this” are we past now? Because it sure as hell is a ton
Mutual support like that is what’s going to make the world a better place, keep it up, it’s just what the world needs right now
Okay, but I don’t think this was intentional suffocation of the kids. This seems much more as an attempt to get everyone to survive
I am aware it’s difficult, but my point was that you aren’t powerless
So instead of fighting now you’re just going to allow yourself to get drafted later? How is that in any way preferable
I mean, if they all did it, it absolutely would make shit happen
The whole issue stems from most people wanting to just keep their heads down
They are powerless if everyone stops giving them power
The country is nothing without its workers
Of 10-20% of the population actively protested and actively tried to halt any functioning of society, you’d be surprised at how much you could get done. A that large mass of people is absolutely hell to control and subdue, and they certainly cannot arrest even a significant fraction of them. If the threat of protests of that scale were real every time they tried some fuckery, they would give in very quickly
The problem is that almost everyone thinks like you say, “what am I to do? I’m powerless”, and give up before even trying
half life times log2(amount of atoms), right?
“Quisling” is another good one
This is why it’s dangerous to not always be seeking the truth, no matter how uncomfortable it is
It’s going to come back to bite you sooner or later
