Meanwhile the real opposition is posting on Lemmy
My favorite thing about all these revolution working class rise up posts is that it’s always posted by people LARPing about fighting back online but also doing nothing
Damn I hadn’t realised I never actually helped organise a protest for paramedics in my city.
I could’ve sworn I had before you let me know I hadn’t.
Silly me
I’m sensing some sincerity from a user who posted a shitpost. Sorry I hurt your butt.
Good for you, but you were better off staying quiet with that one.
No he wasn’t. You said that no one was doing anything. He came back to show people are. The media is trying to hide it, but it’s important to spread the word.
You said that no one…
I don’t think that was the parent commenter though…
He came back to claim people are.
We are still on the internet. People lie all the time.
If you’re organizing protests, you really don’t want your online presence linked to your actions or your identity.
Yeah just a series of annoying responses triggered me 😭
y tho…
I’m too overworked and socially disabled to do anything
“but what are you doing, hero?”
The war cry of the complacent, docile and subservient American.
Look I wanna be a hero but I just can’t
We don’t need heroes. we need people who show up regularly. And many of them.
Therein lies your problem. I can show up for a weekend. I can show up for several weekends, in fact. I can’t sit in a protest for two weeks, because I have a job I need to keep in order to eat food and own a home.
As the economy collapses further more and more people will become available for the sort of protest required of them, because they will no longer have job responsibilities. Or food. Possibly including me.
Until that time, I will be making efforts to keep my job.
This is all a part of organizing. Helping others. But you cannot organize if you do not show up. Either way you’ll end up at the same place.
I mean if you post online something like “Hey who wants to join my armed revolution?” then you’re gonna get the feds on you and your organization’s cover is going to get blown. If somebody does get caught and their connections can be traced back to a website or other community, then the unradicalized masses will see that website/community as a breeding ground for violence and either that website/community or the government will make the website/community clamp down and/or give up IDs of other members. Especially in an era where data is a commodity and the psychopathic tyrants are unmoved by peaceful protest, effective rebel cell formation and action has to be cloak and dagger and requires time to form an armed militia with a clear objective and a strong majority of the populace would need to sympathize. Definitely don’t abide by this info and form a rebel cell in real life, since that would be illegal and therefore bad; if you were a fictional character in the fictional Star Wars universe, for example, then go ahead.

This.
None of these leftists have done shit. They just shit talk on the internet, and pretend that sitting out is doing something worthwhile.
There are too many Trump supporters… and they’re multiplying at least in my area. Change will happen only when they start becoming self aware.
TLDR: We fucked.
Lol I love the sentiment because they are multiplying. But then you’re like “it is their lack of self awareness that is the problem”
We are the ones that lack awareness. The reason they are growing in numbers and electing idiots like Trump is that we are not connecting or engaging regular people. I have watched people in places like r/fuckcars advocate for deflating random people’s tires while on their way to work. They act like that’s the way to win these things. Meanwhile Trump supporters are on a lake getting drunk and blasting Creed and launching fireworks. Like there is a very serious lack of self awareness on the left. Most aren’t even aware that there is a very serious decline. They’re all just waiting for someone else to fix it all.
Just look at the comments in this thread. It’s a fucking shit show

I wondered why this post was so controversial. I forgot Americans exist 😭😭
Now it makes sense.
By all I read, y’all are fucked.
Thankfully lots of us can’t read and are blissfully unaware at this late hour.
Relevant XKCD: https://xkcd.com/470/
A sign saying “Smile!” Is actually a microagression against people with bad/no teeth. It’s actually very toxic and hateful. So much for the tolerant left.
“I stop fascism with a sign on a stick.”
It sure fucking seems like it. Nobody’s doing anything.
Why is that a shitpost?
It was posted here, making it a shit post.
Dick and Jane Learn to Comply In Advance
*Americans protesting fascism
I was gonna get on my invisible soapbox and say some real shit. But then I forgot this is for Shitposting. Carry on libturds!
