Imagine thinking this is resistance instead of ACTUALLY DOING SOMETHING.

[–] webadict@lemmy.world 12 points 1 day ago (1 children)

This is a silly take. Like, I get the concern, but, like... Why are you here instead of "ACTUALLY DOING SOMETHING"? It's super hypocritical because if you think that's not an act of resistance and they should do stuff, then what the fuck are you even doing typing on the internet?

If you're gonna complain, at least post a list of things these people should be doing and how to do them. That way, you're at least a step above the thing you're criticizing, lmao.

It's your shithole to fix. You voted the pedo in, you deal with him. Why the fuck are you asking others to help you, when all you do is keep shitting on others.

You know what needs to be done, you are just a gutless nation protecting a pedophile. You will come up with a million excuses as to why he's still in power and nothing is changing, you're really good at empty talk. Jokers.

So, for fun, what are the things that need to be done? Would you mind listing them out and explaining how to do them?

Personally, I'm not the one complaining about people not doing enough. Just hypocrisy, so I want to be fair and give you a shake. I think writing these messages is fine because it won't take away from other efforts, and it does get under Trump's skin when people call him a Nazi pedophile. You know, because of all the kids he raped.

You could start with a general strike and stop funding this corrupt, pedophile protector administration. Just do it properly, not for the show for half a day.

[–] webadict@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

True. A general strike is great. We don't have a good foundation for general strikes and worker protections right now, though. So, we'd probably have to get that structured first. Funding is a little harder to control. That would require some sort of tax withholding, which seems harder to do, but I'm not an accountant. A lot of our taxes are taken out by employers, but you could argue about a federal income tax strike or something. I've heard people considering it.

But, you see, that's a lot harder to see on its own. Those aren't ways to accomplish them. Right? I think pushing people to set up mutual aid groups and such is going to help coordinate that planning. You'll need food, housing, and money for a prolonged general strike, as well as a means to coordinate. People have to work together, and that takes talent and dedication.
