Okay, but what if you, you know, like, ask people from Asia what “Asian” means?

Is this a VR game or just trying (and mostly succeeding) to nail a specific 1997 game vibe?

We Reddit now

Cool. Enjoy whatever comes your way.

And to be real? Martin Luther King Jr’s accomplishments are nearly wiped out a generation or two later by minimal effort from a handful of rich white assholes. It’s almost like doing a march isn’t sufficient to exterminate fascists.

Oh no

Well, great. How scared are you?

Scared enough to throw a punch? Break something? Get arrested?

Thought not. Do something or shut up. Op-eds are about 10 years too late.

But also, don’t you dare call out the inaction of cowardly white American liberals on Lemmy- they’ll demand to know WHAT YOU HAVE DONE to fix their problems and when that doesn’t work they’ll insinuate it’s not your place to have an opinion since you don’t live there.

Meanwhile they whine about how they couldn’t possibly take any action because they MIGHT GET IN TROUBLE! Best they can do is a cute little easily-ignored march on a Saturday if the weather’s nice and they’ve gotten the proper permits.

They’re nearly as bad as MAGA trash.

A parliamentary system is superior in just about every way.

Were you homeschooled by a pigeon?

That’s wild, usually he can be counted on to write something about how Thomas Jefferson actually wanted everyone to get in fatal plane crashes every day.

Curtis Yarvin, the Neil Breen of political “philosophers,” wrote that ignoring the courts is part of the plan- here’s his test case.

I have bad news for you.

Americans: “we can’t. We might GET IN TROUBLE.”

Democrats in the US are centre-right. “Normal” Mitt Romney/GWB Republicans are far right. The current GOP is, without a drop of hyperbole, full-on fascist.

There is not any leftist political coalition to speak of in the US. Bernie Sanders is about as extreme as they come in the US- and he’s maybe center-left at his most extreme.

I was banned for displaying, quote, “extreme indifference” about the fact that DJT nearly ate a bullet on live TV.

You said “leftist.” What do Democrats and liberals have to do with anything?

You know, r/politics. The “radical leftist echo chamber,” according to its most normal users.

Head over to Reddit if you want to hear about how the Biden Depression is upon us

I can think of plenty of things that aren’t violence in the streets.

Destruction of property can be achieved without putting human lives at risk given that the actors are halfway intelligent. Large scale cyberattacks can be carried out without physical violence. Organized efforts to catfish and publicly expose pedophiles (because let’s be real, the vast majority of them are alt-right trash) and hey, while you’re at it, even if they aren’t into kids, get receipts on unfaithful MAGA spouses and expose them to their families and religious groups. Industrial or corporate sabotage is an option. Business owners could choose to deny service to known alt-right sympathizers, MAGA supporters could see their employment terminated (political affiliation is not a protected class in most places, as far as I know).

When your entire law enforcement apparatus prioritizes property above people, all of those things become absolutely legitimate forms of protest. If these tactics are currently unacceptable to you, please tell us where the “line” is, beyond which they become morally justified. If your position is they these things are NEVER acceptable, then I don’t really have anything to say to you apart from “good luck.”

We’ve been told our entire lives that all the educated, intelligent people are on the left and the right is full of knuckle-draggers- well, great. Prove it. Stop being outsmarted by idiots.
