i know an even more effective way of dealing with them.
post your address and i'll come explain it to you
i didn't say it would kill the idea. i said it would make the people that like the idea keep their mouth shut out of fear.
we could, at any time, 'deal' with this woman in a way that ensures no other fascist shitbags would ever be brave enough to open their bigoted mouths again, but y'all are chickenshit, so she will continue to run her stupid mouth and influence other morons.
that's what Catholicism and lack of education gets you. destroy all religion for the sake of humanity.
well, unfortunately, cynicism has pretty much consumed me, so i kinda stopped caring about getting my message across a long time ago. i tried reasoning with conservatives until i realized how futile that was. then i tried reasoning with liberals about useless debate was until i realized how futile that was. i think i'm just here to yell at clouds now.
and we’re winning, slowly
are you? lol
for this the first time in human history, the average person has the tools in their pocket to organize on a massive scale. tired of conservative politics? show up en masse and dispose of the morons. tired of corporate overreach? bombs, terrified CEOs. we could make change happen in a heartbeat if we wanted to. the clock is ticking on climate change, but keep telling yourself you're making 'sLoW cHaNge'.
believe it or not, it's not a troll. i'm seriously worried about most of you. you've lived in a padded, comfortable society for so long, you've lost sight of the larger historical narrative: most social change happens through violence. lots of people historically never saw it coming and were woefully unprepared when it did. most people don't seem to realize that the entire framework of our society is held together at gunpoint. the threat of violence is the thing that underlies any lawful society. it's what guarantees your rights.
and most of you are helpless to do anything about it when the people that do understand how it works decide to flex those muscles.
furthermore, your dependence on safety and security actually pads the way for your corporate overlords to determine what your life will be. it's not like they have to really worry about you fighting back. they know you're a bunch of cowards and it empowers them to push you around like the peasants that you seem to be willing to make yourselves into.
being rational means knowing what is the appropriate tool for the given task is. most of you seem irrationally unable to see that your peaceful and calm methods have failed to prevent the steady deterioration of the quality of life for the last 5 decades.
i'm not afraid of anger. anger is a motivator. anger gets shit done.
lol. they only like their strong man until he looks weak, which most old men do. in my perfect world, Kamala slaps him during a debate after he makes some dumb sexist remark. seeing him get bitch slapped by a woman would destroy his american tough guy image and guarantee his defeat.
lol. no, but i'm not ashamed of my anger when it happens. is that what you think matters? being calmer than the other guy?
oh, my bad. it's actually poofter's froth, WY
oh no. someone on lemmy doesn't agree with me. i must be wrong. /s
no. the problem is this massive pile of limp-wristed softies who need mods to protect them from the harsh reality of our modern predicament.
it is very much possible to be the only sane person in the crowd.
nope. i'm actually looking at the big picture and this thread is a microcosm of the problem: leftists are too soft to stand up to fascism. the obsession with car seats epitomizes why you are all too fragile to be relied on to oppose violent right wingers.
it also underscores my lack of concern for your petty grievances. i take pleasure in pointing out my very anecdotal childhood story because i knew it would bring out the limp-wristed folks like yourself. congratulations on taking the wimpy boy bait.
sure thing, pacifist. have fun raising your kids in the dystopia you were too chicken shit to do anything about.
i'll bet i have better solutions than you do.
Just think about that for a minute.
nah. i don't have kids so i don't have to think about shit i don't want to.
ooo, look how triggered all these dumbass parents are about us telling them to stop having kids.
is that poofter as in poofter's cross wyoming?
It's unbelievable how vocal the minority of conservatives on reddit have suddenly gotten in the one sub where a large demographic of important voters often interact. Hmmm. Coincidence?
Man defrauds Amazon to fix potholes their dodged taxes should pay for. Uses same tax loophole as them to avoid legal repercussions for the fraud. We should all be doing this. Think outside the box.
Donald Trump offered to weaken climate regulations in exchange for a $1bn contribution from oil company bosses to support his return to the White House
Donald Trump offered to weaken climate regulations in exchange for a $1bn contribution from oil company bosses to support his return to the White House later this year. During a dinner for senior oil executives at his Mar-a-Lago club last month, Trump “vowed to immediately reverse dozens of president [Joe] Biden’s environmental rules and policies and stop new ones from being enacted” if they gave him the money, according to the newspaper. One top priority for the executives, which Trump said they would get “on the first day”, was an end to the freeze on permits for new liquefied natural gas (LNG) exports, the article notes.
