Protesting is the first step towards change, not the last. Hopefully the movement can gain enough momentum for a general strike or something.

Thanks!

Yes, obviously I know those things.

I’m speaking about the population as a whole, not you as an individual. Of course there are people who are fighting the good fight daily, many of them working behind the scenes. I’m not talking about them.

I’m talking about the people asking why no one is doing anything. The ones who haven’t realized they need to join others and take action. The ones who think they just need to wait this out and vote.

Everyone has their own circumstances, privileges, skills, resources, ethics, etc. Everyone can resist in some way or another. I won’t claim that many of these ways don’t require some personal risk or sacrifice, but to imply that all of them will be met with police brutality is not only false, but serves to make people feel hopeless and give up.

I keep seeing Americans post things like this. There’s no one coming to save you.

The American people are the ones who need to be making those demands. The government should fear the people, not the other way around. Isn’t this scenario exactly why there’s the second amendment?

Sorry to say that this problem has been allowed to progress to the point where it will be neither convenient nor easy to solve. It’s going to take consistent collective action.

Well I certainly wouldn’t recommend sharing

Did you miss the cold war where the US toppled over seventy democratic countries and installed fascist dictators?

Can I get a citation for this one?

That’s called an intrusive R

Yes, I assumed he wants to enslave people after arresting them. Who knows with this stupid fucker though…

Let’s take New York City, for example. It’s got more e-bike usage than anywhere else in the US, and there are still only an average of two pedestrians per year killed by an e-bike accident. That number for cars? Around 100 per year in NYC. It’s not complicated math – cars are 50x more lethal in the city.

I have no doubt that ebikes are less dangerous, but this data doesn’t do much to prove that point.

It’s alphabetical

That bee was too good for this world

Digg is coming back actually. Kevin Rose and Alexis Ohania bought the domain. Strange times…

Ew

The US version would have fentanyl. Gotta get the Mexican kind if you want real cocaine.

Get out. Your kind isn’t welcome here.

Look at this guy reading more than the headline. Let’s get 'im!

I keep seeing this martial law BS being parrotted by Americans as an excuse for their inaction. But if they’re already submitting to fascism due to fear of martial law, isn’t that kind of the same as being under martial law?

Thanks for this recommendation, I’m going to give this a listen

There are several public domain readings of this book on YouTube for others who are interested

Thanks for replying

Do you think response time could also indicate that a user is a bot? I’ve had an interaction that I chalked up to someone using AI, but looking back now I’m questioning if there was much human involvement at all just due to how quickly the detailed replies were coming in…
